    The third tape letter in the series of Belly full of blind highways is by Wendy Morris, written from the perspective of a Wandering Womb and addressed to the wild wort Savin. The letter is a call to resume a relationship with a plant which once provided us with a means to control fertility. Savin was the abortifacient of choice amongst (European) women. The transmission of that knowledge has since been eroded and the tape letter wishes to sing it back into circulation.

about

β€œShe gathered rue and savin
She poured them in an earthen pot with calamint and dill
And to the brim with coltweed and camphora she did fill
That potent brew caused many drops of milk and blood to spill”

Composed in December 2022, the tape letter by Wendy Morris is written from the perspective of a Wandering Womb and addressed to the wild wort Savin. In response to recent developments in which we saw Roe v Wade overturned, and a near total abortion ban put in place in Poland, the letter is a call to resume a relationship with a plant which once provided us with a means to control fertility. Savin was the abortifacient of choice amongst (European) women. The transmission of that knowledge has since been eroded and the tape letter wishes to sing it back into circulation.

For the soundscape of her letter Wendy Morris collaborated with Mariske Broekmeyer, for the images featured on the J-card she worked together with Tim Theo Deceunick.
