Look at These Big F***ing Trees!
With humour, candour and a gentle heart, Jordie tells the story of his youth and his not-so-typical journey to higher education; he being the first in his family to attend university.
Welcome to “Look at These Big F***ing Trees,” a sound walk featuring Jordie Lescard, created by Dawn Matheson as part of “How To Draw A Tree,” an ongoing art project exploring interconnectedness, wonder, and wellness, asking: “How do we draw trees towards us?” With humour, candour and a gentle heart, Jordie tells the story of his youth and his not-so-typical journey to higher education; he being the first in his family to attend university. The forest used to be a place Jordie went to escape life; now it is where he finds connection. Trigger warning: Jordie discusses his struggles with his mental health and talks of suicide (approx. time code: 44:10 to 49:00) . Swearing. You will need your cellphone AND headphones (and maybe bug spray, sunscreen, and water!).
