Fieldnotes Issue 2 Summer 2021

In this issue: we wake up, we go to sleep, paths are drawn through the forest. We are waiting for the flood, we are waiting for the dog star to bring fever, rains, catastrophe and music of the highest vibrations. Here are some notes on how to survive, this issue is a survival guide. Diagrams are saying things and we are learning new lines ~ the first line is a line of sight between predator and prey, these are nutrient-rich lines, between shopping aisles, between what is eatable and what is not, between the wood and the trees there is continual elaboration. We are learning preservation techniques, how to be safe & good, how to cut & come again, how to fall in love, how to dance with your lover, we learn how to build a bunker, we learn to dip the rat in oil before we eat it, we learn to collect plastic from the bins and melt it together to make new containers, to contain new questions: has the disaster happened, is it coming, or are we in it?
