Wending

Wending follows a newly widowed woman who is sent to a river so remote it has no official name. In the mostly uninhabitable terrain, she survives, through her work and in her hope of returning home, but as time moves on, her erratic behaviour pushes her to further extremes. She begins to see a woman in her peripheral. In a text where form reflects the single focus of a woman as she casts away her old life to follow a path to its bitter end, the outcast female accepts ostracisation and challenges narrative and social norms.
