Fininancial Crisis

My sister Sarah made this long ago and it has
FINANCIAL CRISIS
writen all over it!

OH GOD!!

Yesterday Rita and I had lunch with an old but young friend in Norwich, CT. Mushroom soup and asparagus mixed with conversation of a religious order. Catholic schools , artists, a nun beating a young girl for wearing her hair in bangs . The young girl then tore off the nuns habit in retaliation never to return to the school again. Rulers as weapons, festering wounded saints being resurrected with shovels and coming out smelling of roses. More delicious mushroom soup and for desert, tea with round weight less host like wafers made from almonds and egg white. Water ,air and blood seemed to rule the day mixed with the most famous ingredient of all LAUGHTER!!!! which leads me to......

The day before yesterday I was cleaning piles of drawings/art from 1968-80 or so and found this quote: "Seriousness seeks to exclude play, where as play can very well include seriousness." If any one knows who said this I'd love to give just attribution. Which leads me to the sumi drawing above OH GOD!! that I made of a character poking fun at GOD while in a dangerous balancing act of absurdity at that. I hope you've been entertained but now this nut has to go find a squirrel.

Temple detail

Here is one of the temples. All seventeen are very united in the look.
Their about two feet tall and will add a smoking quality to the circle.

The above and below in the snow that is no longer there as of a week ago is how the sculpture is coming along. The snow does most of the light catching that other wise would be hard to see. Speaking of that it will be painted a dull green of some kind to slow down the awareness of it all and make the experience a gradual, slower one. There are temples of sorts ( I'll put an image on the blog) with antenna that go in the center of each of those horizontal circles. The circles will be ringed with quartz as well as the central platform in each circle. Then that sphere of concrete in the previous entries will go skirting around the central stone. There will be inclining platforms too that help the quartz get from the ground up to the "Destination". If you look strait down on the whole thing it's a figure eight; a blobby teardrop strait on. It's far from all those nude Indians laying around in their sun but I see the feel is there.

Yes it's true.

Rita sent us this postcard from Paris so when we returned
it would be some proof we were actually there. That's the way it looked.

conjuring steel

The steel looks to be conjuring and that's good because the twain shall meet above with more

up and down it's arms-stay tuned.... This is odd stepping away from something only minuits ago I was bending in to place-the place your looking at!.?

I went to Moon Rise to make an adjustment to Moon Rise Quartz Migration. large boulders were added to and rearanged while the entrance was expanded and unified with more gravel. Beauitfull! So I needed to add a few more white quartz stones to work with the other changes. While there I photographed something I made over the past winter. Their called
Moon Rise Uppings Their all hanging from the rafters that over hang the breezeway between the frontdoor and the garage.

P.S. The spiral cone in the back ground hanging from the eave, is incence that burns "24/7".

It smells like all the religions in the world got thrown in to a caldron and boiled down by half. The good stuff rose to the surface and was scummed off,dryed and made in to this incence. There ya have it. It's just my sence of smell.
