"What began as a personal thing, an individual response to my own situation and my home environment, has become a rewardingly complex web of collaborations, exchanges and conversations with people near and far, centred around rocks, routes and remembering...
"As the work keeps growing, it holds the imprint of all of these varied perspectives and life experiences."
Kyra Norman, 2024
Below is a list of individuals and organisations who have contributed to the work so far... (updated regularly)
