The Lea Valley, a landscape in perpetual flux, serves as the foundational canvas for "Follow y/our river," a project initiated in the autumn of 2022 by paula, hḗrā, and tamara. They sought to engage with the Lea Valley's dynamic identity, employing hybrid relational methods of portraiture to capture the essence of both human and non-human subjects along its banks. This approach, integrating rituals for transitory states of being into the landscape, reflects a deep interrogation of the river's role as a conduit for change and continuity. The project's methodology—spanning photography, walking, and direct engagement with the river's diverse inhabitants—reveals the Lea Valley as a site of archaeological depth, ecological resilience, sculptural beauty, and archival richness.
