//QUANTOCKS ART WALK\\
Coleridge Way, Quantocks, Autumn 2021Art walk with artist Tom Bailey who creates live performance work as Mechanimal. Part of Arnolfini’s series of artist conversations.
I was given a lichen walk leaflet by lichenologist and long-time Nettlecombe resident Pat Wolseley during a field trip there as part of my Year in the Life of a Field project. So this meeting seemed a great opportunity to do the walk and to see what we encountered on our route. Not really expecting to find any or many of these fine featured organisms in the deep thicket of the Quantocks woodlands, Pat’s descriptions of how and where to find them were so detailed, that it was relatively easy to discover several of the species in the leaflet. Here’s a photo diary of the walk........
