A Year at River Cong

A Year at River Cong is a site-rooted extension of my LifeWays practice: a slow, attentive journey through a single landscape as it shifts and changes across the seasons.

For twelve months I will trace the LifeWays of River Cong. I will listen to its rhythms, sketch its textures and explore changing colours as I witness the different ways light, weather, movement and memory gather along its banks.

A Year at River Cong is a place-based inquiry into belonging, presence and ecological remembrance.

River Cong

A year of living with the river’s stories

Alongside this practice, I will spend time listening to the wider life of the river: its ecological health, its histories, and the people who live in relationship with it. Through conversations, local knowledge and sustained observation, this part of the project will explore creatively what it means to care for a river’s well-being.

If you live near the River Cong and would like to share stories, knowledge or reflections, I would love to hear from you: anna7king@gmail.com
