wall
living installation
Tillson NY
11/17
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...

Response of unionid mussels to dam removal in Koshkonong Creek, Wisconsin (USA)
Dam removal is a potentially powerful tool for restoring riverine habitats and communities.
However, the effectiveness of this tool is unknown because published data on the effects of
dam removal on in-stream biota are lacking. We investigated the effects of a small dam

"Yokum Brook's restoration has many benefits
Posted
"Readers may recall that a year or so ago, the restoration of Yokum Brook in Becket was completed. Two dams were removed from the brook (Silk Mill and Ballou dams). Not only were the dams removed to allow fish passage, but the town derived some long-term benefits.
A new underground tank to be used in fire emergencies was installed, a flood hazard had been removed, and safety issues related to the dams had been resolved. The kids in the Becket-Washington elementary school got into the act too, raising salmon fry from eggs, which were provided by the Reed Hatchery in Palmer, and stocking them into the brook.
On Friday, May 2 the partners of the Yokum Brook Restorations were honored by the Coastal America Partnership. The partners are the Executive Office of the U.S. President and Departments of: Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, EPA, NASA and National Science Foundation"

circle Fire
digital
some circle fires I've come across with the NC and TN Appalacians gathering charcoal
for drawing with the environment...
a few notes I've made the last couple years on using charcoal from circle and fireplace fires & Willow sp as drawing medium;
I practice making traditional pre and post literal artful markings with the Earth as affirming and collaborating my/our relationship with Earth using charcoal... my work focusses on using small, "homeopathic" doses of cleansing and clearing wood charcoals from local circle fires with the bodies of water, mostly river systems,...
since Spring of 2016 my work focus are post literate markings of cleansing and clearing wood charcoals using home made charcoal from Willow spp., and from local circle and home fires... they are energetic drawings in collaboration with our Nature, Earth and Cosmos...
I am intentfull to do these drawings on public access land or to get permission from landowners to work these drawings. they are often near and photographically in view of historical, institutional, in the news of the day sites and with sacred space as fractal universe… with healing, bringing to a balance, our woundings of past and future crimes against humanity and nature... I use charcoal from fires local to each site... charcoal is elemental with all life and is a filtering and cleansing substance... as that I see my use with it as healing with homeopathic perspective applications and as symbolic energetically... rain, rivers, water, etc. never wash anything away, it transfers it to another location and eventually is absorbed with Earth universe... I collaborate with Earth and its' energetic variations described with Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Ether of our cosmos...
some references on replenishing soils and waters with charcoal;
