"The entire notion of wholeness, creative expressions, is built into the implicate order.... It would be similar to the flash of creative insight in our mental experience. The general tenor of the implicate order implies that what happens in our consciousness and what happens in nature are not fundamentally different in form. Therefore thought and matter have a great similarity of order, we might extend that idea, saying that the creativity and insight we have may also have its parallel in nature." David Bohm

"edge of dusk"

edge of dusk our numbered time regulate with constant unwavering push

upon our Temples' time space wave say harvest us

toward Fall Winter with a cooling and a shortening blue green light edge of dusk

I've raked the yard where I'm living this Spring of the Oak leaves. Here I've drawn them into piles

symbolically representing the Cardinal Grand Cross and the four planets involved separated at the ends of the crosslines; Uranus in Aries, closest to the viewer here in this picture, opposing rMars in Libra, with Pluto in Capricorn to the left and Jupiter in Cancer to the viewing right side. The morning's Sunrise light parallels the lines of the Jupiter-Pluto axis line. 

 In many of the ancient traditions oak leaves were burned to purify the atmosphere and to instill protection, strength, success and stability. This evening I'll set the remaining unburned leaf on fire in recognizing the release of the old and tired ways that have served their purpose in our evolution. 

Now, and as we begin our Planet Earth' journey into the cyclic enfolding period of 

Peace, Love and Co-Creativity...

"Field Mouse portrait"

some notes on "Field Mouse portrait";
Field Theory and Creativity as cellular expression through the species…) as well as in the geography, trees, water and the elements, etc all things and non things….

‘”out of chaos comes creativity” as a shift toward growth and/or expansion of matter/non-matter stasis. As creativity emerges out of the human experience as a result of cellular communicating do Field Mice, cattle, trees, stone, air etc also express this creativity and what does it look like?

my cell phone video capability is time limited. these two videos are a result

of my downloading one video in two parts. a video diptych, i like it... and so will present each as 

a whole. an entering; than darkness, a void, a checking in with a separate background, a suppressed thought, a dream time, and then a re-emerging, a continuance with the second ...

this walk toward a Water [& Air] quality treatment was funded greatly by local resources thru students at UNCW. the students and the funding moved on. unfortunately this occurs readily without continued fundings and people energies. the toxic runoff from lawn and garden pesticides, concrete breaking down and its toxic chemistry lands up in ground Waters and sewage leakage adds a nasty morning odor to the chemical mix as an obvious release of toxins to Air quality as well.

"Dock and the Apple Tree"

                                                         9/7/13

3 mother Turkey and their charge of 15 - 16 (presently) have been grazing, roosting in the Pines and community schooling each other in the yard. They neither seem to be fearful of the installation and graze and weave in and about it... Welcome Turkey enThanks!

an overview is shot from the deck of the house approximately 6’ above the higher ground plane of the piece.

a mid Lammas  (late Summer for those who follow the 4 season system) NE seasonal cocreative and collaborative with Nature installation “Dock and the Apple Tree” is 30’ in length , the Rumex stalks are 15” to 30” in height. the line plays upon the outer rim of a semicircular concave disc of the ground plane that the Apple Tree is centered within. an area of lower growing vegetation lay beyond the Apple Tree. it creates forms and shapes reinforcing the circular forms and lines with the piece. toward the NW the ground plane flattens and extends out to the wood’s edge over 100’ away. further to the West is an ovular garden highlighted by tall grasses, Hydrangea and lower perennials. another circular is formed by the dirt/stone path of the driveway. to the East and South are extended lawns and more bordering woods. the mown lawn, driveway space and the perpendicular vegetation help to define the entirety of the piece with the ground, horizontally and vertically, and into the skies’ constantly changing spatial atmosphere.

the line drawn with the Docks, Curly/Yellow Rumex crispus, is pervious and does not physically extend to other forms, it is implied by the eye as it picks up other lines and forms in the overall landscape. the red/purple/orange colors of Yellow/Curly Dock seed heads play with the greens/blues and yellows complimentarily. the line of Docks lay on the NW arc of the semi circle around the Apple Tree and connect visually with the entire landscape.

these next shots taken from the Four Directions were taken 8/30/13

heavy rains during the night two days after I installed the Dock seed heads lay some of the stalks down on the ground changing the character expression of its lines under the tree. falling apples (fruit/seed) assist in the lay down and with a vertical to horizontal movement.

and on 9/5/13 with the North perspective toward the South

a small stand of blossoming Motherwort Monarca cardiaca at the base of the Apple Tree is seen clearly in this photo and accents the lineality with the Dock and the Apple Tree. 

bright clear days see shadow play with the geometrics of the installation. colder temps; last night’s 40˚  temps, down from low 60˚s during the rains of the weekend and daytime high in the 70˚s came down low 60˚s and 50˚s at night have broken down cellulose and cold snapped seeds and branches to the Earth. I have also noticed unidentified small seed eating birds’ feeding on the seeds from their perch in the Apple Tree. this activity creates lively lines and form, activating the relationships.

the environment, all, micro and macro cosmically play with the installation and with our own personal perspectives with it…

and from the North toward the South Sun Rays and Light Orbs infused magical light energetics with the “Dock and the Apple Tree installation as I begin to set in place my trip back to Wilmington, NC

for the warmth of the Sun.......................

9/10 the line of Docks fall and disperse more creating changes with new lineal and formatic concepts.
the entire environment evolves; mushrooms to the left and the apples' color and density. light rays with
photo juxtapose with the tree trunks, accenting the "Fall".
