John Charles Ryan for Griffith Review 'A very striking parasite' "Indeed, to appreciate Nuytsia and its sweet side is to know the tree from the roots up – to avert one’s gaze from the easy magnetism of its flowering canopy and to become subterranean, at least figuratively. One of the world’s largest mistletoes, Nuytsia is half plant, half parasite. Its rootlets, known to botantists as haustoria, feel discerningly in the earth for various hosts, while its leaves convert sunlight into carbohydrates, as all good plants do. The tree is more accurately a hemiparasite – a producer and consumer that pilfers nutrients from other fibrous bodies (from banksias and couch grass to utility lines), a perfectly adapted contradiction comfortably at home in the thicket of binaries we impose on the natural world. In other words, as the early twentieth-century botanist DA Herbert put it, Nuytsia exerts ‘the power of independent existence after it has once become established'" https://griffithreview.com/articles/striking-parasite/

Swamp Gospel 04:43
We wander through the fog, through the 'spirits of the night', rises like 'incense of the earth' while we try to make sense of this life. See that tennis court, those manicured lawns? That used to be a food bowl, but now it's gone. And I'm homesick, calling out like this for something that I never knew but know I miss. Secret, sacred places We've covered up Wetland traces sing that swamp gospel loud. Intricate biophonies spill onto the street underneath the road rivers, living waters seep. See that tennis court, those manicured lawns? That used to be a food bowl, but now it's gone. And I'm homesick, calling out like this for something that I never knew but know I miss. Secret, sacred places We've covered up Wetland traces sing that swamp gospel loud. Dedicated to Nandi Chinna and her writings on Homesickness and John Ryan, Environmental Humanities lecturer at ECU.

Walking on sunshine Sailing on saline Skating the smoothest bitumen you've ever licked (it's a trick) The road stops the flow Just because we wanna go We look but don't touch See but don't feel How does it feel?

about

Songs speaking to the spirit of the Beeliar Wetlands and the vast biodiversity of species that live there. If Roe 8 continues to go ahead, it will destroy intricate ecosystems forever. It will be economically, spiritually & culturally devastating. Shut it down. Listen to the wetland. Connect to country.

In this compilation we have been investigating how we can further establish our connection to this land. Documenting, learning, listening, observing and celebrating these wetlands is really an effort to connect.
