am looking through the idea of leaving the paper over the spiral brick yogurt moss and wetting the paper down to stretch and mold to the desk/spiral forms below. would make an xacto cut of the yogurt/moss areas as the paper completes forming and begins to dry. the desk/spiral is slightly tinted in photo...

Traveling to: New Jersey Meadowlands
Mode of transportation: van/boat

What if nature and culture were no longer considered two separate systems? What sort of city might you really see? Creative consulting and design collaborative spurse will lead a voyage by boat to the heart of New York City’s most astonishing postnatural landscapes. On the Hackensack River, where comfort meets waste, we’ll navigate through our future ecosystem: a remediated swamp, a wastewater treatment plant, a mall, a housing development, a capped landfill, and a Superfund site.

The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education

http://www.schuylkillcenter.org
About

Since its incorporation in July 1965, The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education (originally named Schuylkill Valley Nature Center) has been a regional and national leader in urban environmental education. As a not-for-profit institution, the Center began operation as one of the first environmental education facility located within the limits of a major metropolitan area in the country.
The organization's grounds, located on agricultural land that was farmed until the mid-1960's, has grown from the 11 acres originally gifted by the Center's Founders: Lawrence M. C. Smith, Mrs. Lawrence M. C. Smith, Mrs. Robert R. Meigs, and Henry H. H. Meigs. Under the direction of Richard James, the organization's founding Executive Director; the Center grew to encompass 340 acres of land - the largest privately-owned open space area within the city limits of Philadelphia - featuring a variety of habitats including woodlands, meadows, five teaching ponds and wetlands. In addition, four miles of hiking trails, public programs for all ages, school programs for K-graduate level students, and teacher workshops attract a multitude of visitors to the Center.
Originally operating out of River House, a historic summer home once a part of the Center's property, the organization now occupies the main Education Building. The entire Education Building houses laboratories, classrooms, an interactive children's exhibit (Discovery Center), a bookstore, an auditorium, staff offices, and the K-8th grade Green Woods Charter School. In addition, the Center's grounds contain a pavilion, environmental art trail, native plant nursery, and various ecological restoration sites. Located on the eastern side of the property is the Center's Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic, which treats injured, orphaned, and sick native wildlife and provides wildlife education community programs.
In 2000, the Center adopted its Facilities Master Plan. This document was developed by Andropogon Associates, Ltd. and provides a framework for translating the Center's mission into a coherent physical plan in order to enhance the organization's educational programming.
Today, the Center continues to provide a high level of environmental education to the surrounding communities through its four interrelated departments: Education, Land Restoration, Wildlife Rehabilitation, and Environmental Art.

Transit MARS opposed natal Mars
Jan 30 through Jan 30, 2011 

The biggest potential of this period is that you may have to constantly cope with people whose actions and purposes are diametrically opposed to your own. Under this influence your attempts to physically accomplish something may be appropriately compared to hitting your head against the proverbial stone wall. Making little or no headway, you’ll end up wondering why you ever wasted your energy in the first place. Nor will you succeed any better with a show of strength or aggressiveness, since these efforts are apt to be met with an equally determined exhibition of force. It may be difficult to sustain any controlled or stable physical efforts at this time, but things may be easier for you if do not waste what energy you have with anything but the most routine, quietly carried out tasks.

Transit SUN opposed natal Mars
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

Under this influence many of your physical efforts may be undone, perhaps through laziness or careless behavior on your part or that of others. The point is that you should not try too hard to accomplish much since it may be a lost cause. Some vital force seems to be missing. Though you may or may not be able to point to exactly what it is, you’ll be frustrated if you try to stir things up to correct the situation. There is no pleasing anybody now, including yourself. Open confrontations are likely to turn into disasters and solve nothing in the bargain. A good time for quiet mental pursuits.

Transit VENUS square natal Uranus
Jan 30 through Jan 31, exact on Jan 30 

Interactions of all kinds; romantic, social, business, friendships and even fleeting encounters with such people as salesclerks or bank tellers-- can have a way of putting you in touch with the values and social mores of your own generation rather than what is currently fashionable. It can work in many different ways and on many different levels. You may, for instance, be wearing a certain style of clothing and find yourself among those dressed in fashions that differ strikingly from your own. Your interactions with others may also differ strikingly enough to make social events somewhat awkward. Any of these potential circumstances can end up being pleasant experiences, even if they are initially uncomfortable. Others are apt to eventually come around to finding you attractive and interesting, and you are able to succeed at something because of your uniqueness not in spite of it. Coordinating group activities is apt to be frustrating but if you rise to the challenge, your efforts may produce viable results.

Transit SATURN square natal Mercury
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

By choice or current circumstances you may be very preoccupied with computers, communications, writing assignments, mechanical and design projects, education, and training. Whatever efforts you may be engaged in along these lines, they are likely to be plagued by delay or frustrations of one sort or another. Correspondence does not arrive on time. The material or assignments you are given may be new or more difficult than usual, or other circumstances make it hard for you to give sufficient time and attention to the tasks at hand. Travel is apt to be delayed, but this by no means implies that you should cancel the trip. Simply work your schedule around the changes or inconveniences that turn up. A similar description and pattern of frustration may accompany business or commercial enterprises, community activities, meetings or seminars, and projects or contacts that involve siblings and neighbors. Your normal pace may be slowed by respiratory ailments, hearing or speech difficulties, arthritis, and other complaints that you may experience yourself or have to cope with in others. The positive potential is that in every likelihood you will accomplish what you set out to do. All you need is patience and the determination to overcome whatever challenges turn up.

Transit PLUTO square natal Saturn
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

This long-term influence is likely to bring difficult but not insurmountable circumstances, the nature of which involves overcoming those with more power than your own, situations that involve a new start or regaining something that was lost, or dealing with the threatened loss of your own power or influence. The past becomes significantly important to the present as well as the future. If you refused to accept the necessary restrictions and limitations that were necessary for progress to be made, this becomes a time to regret your past resistance and correct your attitude. Self-discipline plays a major role. Abuse of authority in the past will have to be confronted and corrected. Ambitions must be tempered with patience and control. Obstacles may challenge your right to the rewards of age and experience, hard work and sacrifice, and the traditions and structures that support your life-style.

Transit SATURN trine natal Venus
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

Those who are older find you very appealing and attractive. Entertain them. Socialize with them. Everyone will benefit in the nicest possible way. Romance, partnership, female relationships, and joint ventures are highly favored during this period. A long-established alliance will benefit in various ways, not the least of which may be because it manages to still exist. If marriage, romance, business partnership, social contact, or friendship is initiated under the present influence, it is certain to have the best chance for longevity and fruitful consequences. Beauty treatments, and decorating, design, or art projects undertaken during this period are likely to have long-lasting and successful results. Social and diplomatic gestures are not apt to be insincere or flimsy. This may be thought of as an excellent period in which to mix business and pleasure.

Transit SATURN sextile natal Moon
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

The people and circumstances likely to be encountered these days provide opportunity to boost your emotional life-- opportunity that can lead to fulfilling a desire, becoming healthier or more physically fit, and establishing better relationships with family members, especially elderly family members. Under this influence benefits are ultimately gained from heeding the wisdom of those who are older and wiser than yourself. Patience is definitely a virtue that pays off. If patience is not normally a part of your personality, it would be in your best interests to temporarily adopt this approach. Another opportunity in your current circumstances may arise as a direct result of your careful work and patience in the past.

Transit MARS conjoined natal Sun
Jan 30 through Jan 31 

During this period you experience a surge of vitality--a stronger identification with so-called male energy. Your inner determination becomes stronger, and ego gratification is the guiding force behind many of your physical actions. You energetically go after things or people in a number of ways depending on the circumstances. Under this influence, your actions may result in an act of great courage, aggressive push to get ahead, enthusiastic endorsement, or demonstration in one form or another of your integrity and principles. You either encounter physical challenges or purposely initiate direct confrontations and competitive or risky situations. You may be well able and willing to physically handle whatever comes along during this period (or at least believe that you can) but take care that your actions and activities do not strain your heart or spine or result in sunburn or injuries to your head or face.

Transit SUN conjoined natal Sun
Jan 30 through Feb 1, exact on Jan 30 

Congratulations! It is the beginning of another birthday year for you. Since the planetary patterns influencing your life and affairs will be different in any given year you do not always have the same feelings and attitudes every time your birthday rolls around. No matter what the circumstances happen to be however, you can take advantage of the positive potential of each birthday by making it a special time for renewing inner energy and vitality, and your faith in yourself as an individual. Reflect on what the past has taught, look forward to where you would like to be in the future, and above all, adopt the attitude and determination that you will meet and overcome every challenge that the future holds.

Transit MERCURY sextile natal Uranus
Jan 30 through Feb 1, exact on Jan 31 

The information, ideas, and communications that come your way during this period represent possible opportunities that will allow you to either demonstrate or acquire some unique or special talent or knowledge. Other opportunities you should watch for under this influence include the chance to acquire or use technical expertise and sociological skills, to travel in some unusual capacity or to an unusual place, or become involved in the finances or newsletters of an organization or club. One of the most interesting prospects is that your success under this favorable influence, is apt to result not so much because of how well you fit in with a group or society, but simply because you are not in synch with everyone else or have a nontraditional attitude or approach to things.

Transit VENUS sextile natal Neptune
Jan 30 through Feb 1, exact on Jan 31 

Opportunity to acquire a glamorous image or to wrap yourself in an aura of mystery may come along. Under this influence you may find yourself mystified by or strangely attracted to people or things of great beauty. Take advantage of opportunities that encourage your imagination. Allow yourself to be inspired, or take advantage of a chance to be inspiring to others. Let romantic encounters or social settings act as a means of enhancing your awareness and sensitivity to the subtleties of human relationships.

Norwich exhibition – finishes Sunday, reviewed in the Guardian Guide

Don’t miss our Norwich exhibition – finishes Sunday, reviewed in the Guardian Guide

We’re very pleased to have received a great review by Skye Sherwin in this week’s UK Guardian Guide for the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Art exhibition:

‘Invisible Dust, Norwich

Artists have developed ingenious ways to make climate change visible for this show tackling pollution. Paris-based design duo HeHe’s video, Toy Emissions, might have been titled the little Range Rover that could. This edge-of-the-seat car chase features a remote control toy car whizzing around New York’s roads. Liz Ballard’s plastic bottles full of bloody, black gunk and her drawing of murky ripples respond to research on the sullied waters of the local River Wensum. Meanwhile, work by Townley And Bradby explores the social impact of the recent volcanic explosion in Iceland. It’s all part of a project by curator Alice Sharp and Peter Brimblecombe, a professor of atmospheric chemistry, and promises a mixture of pointed wit and serious insight.’

Sainsbury Centre For Visual Arts, Sat to 16 Jan
Open: 10am-5pm, Tuesday to this Sunday. For map and directions: SCVA

latest work... a progressing transformation note 3

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?!
