Ω I Stand With Standing Rock Ω
"centering/center
ring"
- a
large scaled installation implementing repurposed wood square posts already set
in the landscape and installed at 75 locations along the East coast of the USA.
Inclusive and non exclusive the posts' center ring, its immediate environ and
extending outwardly energetically, collectively and connectively is the piece
in all. Visualized as a center ground and as a catalyst with their/your/my
center ring, or true inner self, in being with that space in extending Love,
Peace and Co-creativity for all.
I
initiated "centering/center ring" in Wilmington, NC. The
installations are at sites along the Connecticut River Valley, to the west
within the pastoral Berkshire Hills of MA, along the Hudson Valley of NY and
down the East coast in returning to the Wilmington biourban area.
Sensing
with a kinesiological, or energetic, approach my directed marks of Love, Peace
and co-creativity toward a healing balance with the 7 color spectrum using
natural Earth ochre pigments are set upon the post's natural circular geometric
end grains and are framed by their square cut geometric perimeters and the
immediate surrounding area through a photo journaling approach. To personify,
consider the center ring of trees a symbolic analogy for the spinal column of
human kind and the energetic structure with all wildlife…
The
flaked paint I marked with are Earth sourced ochres blended with an organic
wheat paste and allowed to dry on a metal plate in the sun. This natural drying
process creates thin, flaked forms of the colors seemingly chaotic yet
coherent. Often pareidolia are present as the medium completes drying and lifts
naturally off the metal surface. Smaller particles of the medium are
incorporated as colorful textural and lineal components.
Installation
sketches, imaged with digital cell phone, were edited with iPhoto software to
create the final imagery. The photos are journalistic acknowledgements
recording the energies of and within historically and socio-politically
significant spaces. The wooden post's essential character drawn by weather and
the landscape designers conditionings over time and my own present expression
carved by my own enfolding, and the symbolic and vibrational significance of
the paint flake medium's colors in relation with the "centering/center
ring" installations.‘…
