Yatooi Talk is a place for Yatooi members to use as we wish, simply by linking it to our blogs 0ra Page on our websites. Here we can share news, ask for help or advice, arrange collaborations, make friendships… and discuss art, environment and nature-related topics that would be of interest to us all.
My name is Linda Gordon, an environmental artist living in South West England. So, here's the first page of my own new blog: Yatooi Talk-Linda.
(It was originally written on my Wordpress Blog, and transferred over here.
I am planning to use Yatooi-Talk-Linda mainly for sharing projects and experiences in nature: written text, pictures, thoughts, feelings, opinions... I am very much looking forward to seeing your Yatooi Talk pages too! I am excited at the opportunity to meet fellow members, and the different places around the world where we all live.
I would like to know about your local landscapes/ the places around your home, whether it is buildings, or whether it is a natural environment. What does it look like? How does it make you feel? What do you like best? What do you dislike most?
What do you like about being in nature? What do you do there? Anything, or nothing? Do you like to be alone, or with friends? Do you like to make Nature Art? Or something else… perhaps singing, or some form of movement. I have a friend who likes to hang upside down from the trees!
Why do I ask so many questions? Well, because I am curious, and it is good to come together and share our thoughts and feelings about nature, life, work and ourselves.
Feel free to ask me questions too – and leave any Comments below.
____________________________________________________________________… the forest is constantly changing. And not just the forest – all of Nature. And that’s why many human attempts to conserve particular landscapes fail. What we see is always a brief snapshot of a landscape that only seems to be standing still. The illusion is almost perfect in the forest, because trees are among the slowest-moving beings with which we share our world and changes in the natural forest are observable only over the course of many human generations.(Peter Wohlleben, “The Hidden Life of Trees”, p211).
The Yatooi Talk will help in my next project ‘Land Art Forest’ which will start in Alcoutim November 2018.
You know my blog but here is a link for others.

It’s probably not tech challenge – it’s probably me! I have a great gift for making things more complicated than they need to be! If you make your Yatooi-Talk blog page, and send the link to Wongil, he will put it on the list of bloggers. We can all very easily contact any name on the list by clicking the Yatooi Logo link that he sent.
(PS I have moved my Yatooi-Talk blog over to Blogger, but I will leave a copy of this page here on WordPress.)
First of all, I’m glad to hear you again! It’s nearly couple decades ago that you installed a flower at our park in Gongju. Am I right? At the moment I’m sirtificate that we were staying on the earth over the time and space. I’m really excited in this idea and appreciating your passions. The tool that you provide should help us became more close and sustainable developments of Nature Art which is indeed for the peaceful world.
Best wishes from another side of earth.
Sincerely yours Ri.
Yes- a peaceful world is what we all want. I am glad you like the Yatooi Talk idea – the internet can be a fantastic tool for bringing people together from around the world. I have a daughter in Australia, and although I still miss my family, it is great to be able to make regular video calls with them. I think it was in 2009 that I was in Gongju – but I don’t remember making a flower! But I can be very forgetful… Thanks very much for writing here – I am looking forward to talking again soon. Linda
Tihis is such a good idea and I hope to join in. Well done Linda.
I remember making”Flower of the Forest” in Gongju in 2002 where I had such a memorable time with the other artists and seeing so many interesting places.
I am still working in Art in Nature and recently have started to incorporate music. “ Sound Scape “ has live musicians with art in nature sculptures and has had several performances, and “Quarry “ in progress with include sculpture, music and video should be ready in the spring.

My best wishes to you both,
Lorna
It is interesting what you say about our impact on the world – for me, keeping a mindful detached view seems to be the answer – but that is not always very easy!
I would like to talk more about this – maybe we can write more on our blogs.
I am planning to write on my blog once a month, but meanwhile I will try to keep in touch via the Comments.
