Vernon Wood grid
charcoal with plastic construction grid fencing with a fallen tree with Earth
8/18/16

today's piece with charcoal drawings I've envolved with recently... in Vernon VT, just West of the closed Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant (see below photos)... 
guided to a gravel pit and drew with charcoal with/in the plastic grid barrier fencing wrapped about a felled tree... acting as a marker to a path leading into the woods... after completing the bioenergetic healing drawing I pulled up the map and recognized the upper left, upright, North node, Omega glyph, point of ending/beginning, etc. symbol...

just, a gravel pit abutting the place...
just, with the felled tree...
just, leading into the woods...
just, down the hill from the path... 
just, the closed nuclear power plant...

Vermont Yankee was an electricity generating nuclear power plant, located in the town of Vernon, Vermont, in the northeastern United States. It generated 620 megawatts (MWe) of electricity at full power. The plant was a boiling water reactor (BWR), designed by General Electric. On December 29, 2014, its owner Entergy ceased the plant's operations. The plant had begun commercial operations in 1972 under different ownership. In 2008, the plant provided 71.8% of all electricity generated within Vermont, amounting to 35% of Vermont's electricity consumption. The plant is on the Connecticut River, upstream of the Vernon, Vermont Hydroelectric Dam and used the reservoir pool for its cooling water.
In March 2012 the plant's initial 40-year operating license was scheduled to expire; in March 2011 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) extended its license for another 20 years. Vermont Yankee's continued operations were complicated by the Vermont state legislature's enactment of a law providing the state legislature authority to determine the continued operation of the plant, in addition to the federal government. Entergy requested a new state certificate of public good (CPG),[1] but the Vermont legislature voted in February 2010 against renewed permission to operate. In January 2012, Entergy won a court case, invalidating the state's veto power on continued operations.
On August 28, 2013, Entergy announced that due to economic factors Vermont Yankee would cease operations in the fourth quarter of 2014. The plant was shut down at 12:12 pm EST on Dec ember 29, 2014.
Since the 1970s, there have been many anti-nuclear protests about Vermont Yankee, including large protests after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011 and on the date of the original operating license expiry in March 2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermont_Yankee_Nuclear_Power_Plant

wall is supported by 8 ∞ live saplings cut at a 10' height..I started cutting 4/20/16 after many months of being with the site/space and the basic concept… there are another 8 ∞ live woody Liana (vine) sp. that I've cut back from about 14' above ground...  they grew to the tops of an elder Eastern Hemlock Tsuga canadensis on the left and an elder Silver Maple Acer saccharinum on the right, each 2' in diameter… I've bound, and drawn, with the trimmed Liana giving support to the wall and providing line, shape line and form to the wall with their freshly pruned new growth. the wall will provide a new dynamic to the S<>N West side property fence already in place helping to provide structural support with it's metal grid construct. the wall will provide habitat for birds, insects and other critters as well provide a wind and an energy break with the homeowners' fire pit area about 30' East of the wall. more of the remaining undergrowth will be cut away with some being used in creating the wall. I'll be adding more with it as it develops and the homeowner, their family and friends will participate creatively with wall...

playing with the omega symbol as a whole... typically we see one or the reversed other...
charcoal, small stone shadow effect with Water on Rice paper

omega duality in astrology there is the North and South Nodes that graphically use this symbol as opposing companions and through a wholistic perspective they can be seen as the duality with one axis and as part of a greater whole of infinite markings...
