What meaning would you weave for a language you can’t comprehend? And what are the parrot and the night calling out for? The Patchwork of Clues is a short story, written and told by Kate Hewett, inspired by the question of what we might have lost when we moved from an oral to a written culture (8 minutes long).

Kate Hewett lives in the woods on Dartmoor, who whisper to her of the urgent need to return to harmony with the more-than-human. As she travels that ancient, obscured, yet still accessible path, her creative work aims to express some of the stark beauty, wisdom and magic she is encountering. www.katetaylorhewett.com
