Above Me The Wide Blue Sky
2013
Above Me The Wide Blue Sky explores our deep connection to the natural world
Above Me The Wide Blue Sky 2013 photo by Matthew Andrews
It’s a performance. It’s an installation. It’s an archive of skies. It’s a collection of stories about our deep-rooted, deeply felt, easily overlooked and profoundly important connection to the land, the sky, the sea, the weather, and the other living things that surround us.

What do we lose when everything starts to change?
Beautifully performed, in artfully naturalistic style….a catalyst for thought and further reading, as well as an experience of poetic melancholy, Above Me The Wide Blue Sky is a piece that leaves a troubling echo in the imagination
