Innocent Landscapes Revisited, Wilkinstown, February, 2010
Expecting stasis I reluctantly headed off to Wilkinstown last weekend under the grey light that enveloped us on Sunday. The protagonists have returned, the fourth act is under way, and with a renewed energy they have worked their way through a corner of this new section. The soil here at times is different with large sections having a thin covering of bog and possibly because this doesn’t match with information they may have they seem to have moved quickly through it. In another part the small clumps of trees that dotted this field have been leveled in preparation like two pages from a diary.The potential pyre is still present and in the soft light it now truly haunts the center of the recently returned field and justifies my rejection of the blue sky last week.
