Drawn to Dumfries, I noticed how it resonates with 'Friesland' ('Frisia' in English), the coastal population of Germany, and much of the Netherlands and Denmark. Some sources argue that Dumfries, in fact, has origins as a Frisian settlement, so the name association is no coincidence. This film is the start of my project exploring our common origins across the sea, and a journey - all around Scotland, crossing between Orkney and Shetland, then across the North Sea - which leads from here to there, and back again. The project will also highlight climate concerns affecting our coastlines, especially intertidal waters. This film starts with me standing on the Embankment by the River Nith, with a skein of wool to lay symbolic Iines in a sculpture I found by the water. As I turn the sculpture, my wool gets tangled, enacting entangled connections between us.
