Hippopotamus Hippopotamus amphibius

The Common Hippopotamus, or Hippo, is a powerful and enduring symbol of Africa’s rivers and wetlands. Once common throughout all of Africa and the revered subjects of African folklore —their populations are now in peril.

This July I will be building a temporary art pavilion in Wicklow, Ireland. It will celebrate the folk traditions and technologies of the plant known in the Irish language as aiteann (aka gorse/furze/whin).

I will be building the pavilion from the wood and thorny leaves of the plant. Aiteann was once used in thatch along with other materials like straw and willow. I have been learning the process from a thatcher named Anthony.

Samhain [sow-wen]: the ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter — the moment when Beira the Cailleach, Queen of Winter, regains control over the landscape from the Queen of Summer, Brigid. It also marks the moment when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the origins of Halloween. Mountain spirits come to the fore at this time of year.
