Over the next time reference I will post notes of progressing transformation with this project...
progressing from somewhat developed/lived with/to morewhat developed/lived with
the Lotka paper is quite soft fiber and loosely bound with the itself/jute, fragile and requiring a slow, methodical process with the working of the wax colors (see note 2 for reference)
for many years with fascination and using in a white boy's way the Northwest NA ceremony of Potlatch and having attended several Tibetan Budhist Sand Painting Rituals I've edged closer to a more personal experience with the idea of letting go of an art created through a meaningful, intentful, focussed growth. (Attachment) My purpose here is/will be to celebrate the power of nature in its transformative state. We treasure/celebrate material gain in our cultures. After all possession is 9/10ths of the law. How
ego-centrically absurd and nebulus of us!. Through a general alchemy with fire. My intention is to complete this and another similar on the Lotka paper. In the summer of 2011, perhaps at Solstice or Full Moon I/We will ignite the ends of jute and video cam the process in exhibition. Ahhh, I would still "possess the video, nahhh. That too will no longer be viewed but transferred to another state the following year... Vidio that?!
