setting up

today I will set up the studio for work again......finishing the light room took most of my time lately.....
I have to pack up most of my work in the next few weeks in anticipation of selling the house, move everything to the garage in the meantime.....

Light Room

This is the light room project......a 360 degree image created within the context of a single room.

A couple of views.......

Bounce

Bounce

As simple as things seem sometimes

Watching the end of the world

Pretending nothing is wrong

Loosening the strings on a

Ferris wheel spins under the spell

Cherished for its completeness

Situated by the edge of a story

I wish the rain would come

Trouble cannot be swept

Beneath the corridors of indifference

Like a play without words

Acted out in pantomime

Spirits shake up the dreary accord

Perchance to dream, only in stereo

Sheltered she accommodates passion

With heather and sorrow

Chastened to continue the amplitude

Set forth under the conditions of separation

Pliable taking shape to retribution

She comforts unconditionally

I leave the table

Set in a country of unknown origin

Troubled by her outrage

As I walk slowly towards danger

With armor and vocabulary

Presence and adversity

Polarized by conditions

Satisfied without opportunity

A hat full of feathers

Cannot want any more

Spiraling towards you

I sing of tomorrow

Last I will leave you

Never I will leave you

I am here

Forever.

360 degrees.

images from the "lightroom" a 360 degree image where you enter the space and are surrounded by the image......
today I worked on the floor......I will encase the floor pieces in plexi and board so that visitors can walk through the space.....possibly put a paper sculpture in the central area where the light fixture is.,

?The lesson

Three short poems

The first poem is called the book.

Pages open

Torn

The second poem is called the story

She laughed

He cried

The third poem is called the lesson.

todays print.....

March 14 print.......

Forget.

You think I can forget you

Like a page in a book

Discarded blowing away in the wind

Turning up in a narrow alleyway

Found by a child who sees the word love

Gives it to his godmother

Who once stopped a true love in its tracks

Impossible she said

You are beneath me

She sings about him sometimes

In the desolation of her small room

With the single light glaring

I cannot forget you

Your song is in my head

Your story is in my heart.

Swirll

 Swirll

Come play with me on the far side of the river

Copper plate oceans and stories of wisdom

High above the dance of light

Washes across gentle hands in the surf

All the while the children grow out of their shoes

Their socks

Their pajamas

Wondering if it will ever stop

A crack in the sidewalk

Descending into the infrastructure

Below the surface

Men toil in reverence to their creator

Who holds onto their memories

Like a retaliation for past transgressions

Vindictive in a most

Benevolent way.

Lost in translation

She motions me to return

To her good graces, her benevolence

Shattered by disolusionment and envy

I am covered in grief

Sheltered from the pain self inflicted

A weapon more deadly than sin

Vibrating into the core of desire.

Swirling water creates a tunnel

I can see downward to the underworld

Above me a luminous sky

Filled with joyous possibility

For you know I cannot forget you

Radiant smile a luscious freedom

As if a dance had begun

Between sun, sea, and air.

Back to work!

Been a little under the weather this weekend......this week......get focused........organized, and back to a regular work schedule!

floating........

last night really intense dreams.....one I was in a room with others and started floating......sitting cross legged - tried to talk to the others but the words came out garbled......

kind of went a couple of feet higher......intended it........worked on the speech part.......finally was able to talk and the others noticed........came down slowly.......

Ecuador

So I just returned from Ecuador.  I went to see a Shaman about a soul, mine.  I went to try to get rid of
so many negative thoughts and what I thought to be a negative direction my life was heading in.

I am back, trying to ply a way forward which is filled with great possibility and hope.  I am thinking of what I can do to prevent the negative crap from creeping back in, the cynicism and all that goes with it.  It is funny, I really have no idea what to do next.  I hope that I put myself on a positive path and things will just kind of present themselves as I go.

We shall see.......I will keep you posted, kind reader.
