Want to take a hike with Will's Birdbrain? If the answer is yes, you are in luck! This episode was recorded live on a hike in Westbrook, Maine! Try listening to this relaxing journey when you are unwinding after a long day, try and picture the unique creatures discussed and heard, and imagine the strange plants described... If you enjoy this more "freeform" type of episode be sure to check out the WBB Patreon page! There are exclusive episodes posted there that are similar to this one!
This episode Will is joined by relief printmaker Lia, AKA Portmantoad Prints. Lia's work seeks out the silliness in nature and attempts to confuse the limits between plants, animals, and people. Will and Lia discuss how humans have used art as a means of connecting to nature for thousands of years, and the value of creating art today- for money or for the love of it!
Grab a cozy hot beverage, turn down the lights, and imagine you are in a misty forest in southern Maine. You are walking with Will's Birdbrain and his curious guest as they explore the intersections between humanity, nature, and art... oh an bonus points if you can identify all the birds heard in the background by ear! You've been warned, there is a catbird in there at one point!
