A Collaborative Project Between Nature and People
The Spiral of Honesty project is part of
The Third Thing - Collaborations with Nature
a collaboration between people and nature.


The Third Thing

1) Take a thing in nature - that's the FIRST THING
2) You've already got the SECOND THING - that's you
3) Collaborate - make the THIRD THING - write, draw, dance, respond any way you wish

The Third Thing is about encouraging people to engage with nature via creativity.
A particular focus is on people who, like me, have health / physical limitations.

I applied for an Arts Council grant to fund a year long project with four exhibtions, workshops, a website and social media

Unfortunately the application wasn't successful, however myself and the other artists involved are eager to continue with the project. If this interests you or you have any questions please send an email

Collaboration is Art
