Golden seeds,
From a forgotten land.
Swinging from trees,
Across silver sands.
Are they rare, or precious in some
way?
The merchants are restless,
The bidding is today.
Golden seeds,
The price goes up and up,
A long way from their rustling leaves,
Where the winds blow warm and true.
Sold off to the highest bidder,
As a token or a relic,
Seen for their image,
The golden seeds,
A legacy in a capsule,
Of a long gone time,
Or a long gone land...
But then,
Are all seeds not golden?
About the Writer
Kim is a regular walker in Epping forest.
About the Artist
Sally
Barker (b 1962 Yorkshire) is a visual artist, living in Hebden Bridge, West
Yorkshire. She works mainly in sculpture and installation but also works with
printing, drawing, video and the occasional performance. She is a member of the
Yorkshire Sculptors Group, has exhibited widely within the UK and Europe, showing
equally in gallery and non-gallery, outdoor settings, from Tate Modern to the
fells of the Lake District. She has undertaken many residencies and
commissions, mainly in connection with the two forces that underpin her work -
the landscape and feminism. Her practise is driven by a desire to expose and
dismantle aspects of power and control, looking at fault and damage. There is a
dark but wry humour here which rescues the work from being pious or preachy.
Artists Alban and Jack

During the 2020 Lockdown he made his first radio programme, The All Vinyl A to

Artist: Stella Tripp
About the Artist
I live in Exeter – pretty close to my
place of birth: Taunton in Somerset. But I travelled the long way round –
living and studying in Israel, Portsmouth, London, and America along the way. I
have made and exhibited art in all those places, as well as holding many
exhibitions here in the south west.
I work in a variety of media including
painting, drawing, mixed-media constructions and ceramics. Since 2015 I have
also been exploring collaborative performative practice, as a founding member of
Preston Street Union (PSU) – an Exeter-based affiliation of artists who
generate new work and learning through social, collaborative processes.
