S P O R E S O N G moves through tape loops and mythic labours, through black squares and glass cages, to the forest floor where decay feeds new growth. This collection asks: how do you live in a body that holds every wound, every fold, every repetition?
From magnetic tape to mycorrhizal networks, from Malevich's void to Cornwall's granite shores, S P O R E S O N G maps the territory between erasure and inscription, between surviving and becoming.
R Y A N H O O P E R is a Cornwall-based writer, artist and sound-maker whose practice explores the intersections of personal experience, memory and the natural world. He is the author of the novel A Map and Not a Tracing and the poetry collection Memory is a Winged Horse.
