Now back home, and in isolation since Thursday - NHS text and trace app flagged us - awaiting results as I write. I was away searching for the remnants of the forest on the Lincolnshire coastlines, exploring Doggerland, the area of land that used to stretch between today’s coast of Britain and Europe. Doggerland was a place of human habitation, now under the North Sea.
The search for the submerged forest was demanding but rewarding: were found tree stumps, tree trunks and fossilized trees in clay on the beach in two locations in Lincolnshire. I am now organising footage, as well as making transcripts of my audio diary, hand-written notes. I am holding back sharing images with you for now, until the audiovisual piece is near completion - this could take a while.
The outcome will most likely be multipartite.
