Imprints, performed by Zachary Wilcox. Written and sound designed by Rebecca Palmer. 

The autumnal equinox is happening on the 23rd September 2023, marking the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Feeling inspired by the change in seasons, we wondered what would nature tell us if it could? What stories would it share with us? 
Take sand for instance... what would they talk about given the chance? All those memories imprinted on to their very being, but which ones to share.
