~reduced pixels as symbolic of a transformational state forward to broken, mineralized and planted ground ~

with this installation I added one color on each successive day marked with the Sun’s astronomical/astrological placement. beginning with charcoal I made with Willow Salix alba, Red, Orange & Yellow ochres and Green, Blue, Violet and White Earth pigments… the photo journaling continues now with documenting the process of Earth re-membering the pigments and with remineralizing the garden space physically and energetically… as a full spectrum color mineral concentrate it will be blended with this year’s compostings and spread with intention into the garden soil here in Tillson, NY, with the winds, the draining waters and its’ vibrational sync with our healing Universe it will align with cyclic nature’s way…

re-emerging

raked leaves

the long cast shadows of early Spring and the old and diseased main trunk of the White Pine, Pinus alba, the Iroquois "Tree of Peace", that was taken down by the electric company as a threat to wires and driveway at my daughter and son-in-law's home. I'll incorporate some its' sawdust to artwork honoring its' long life. there was not enough resin to take for binder with pigments at the cuts and signified the dried state of the tree. this photo sketch also aligned with a trip with my daughter and grandchildren to the New York State Museum where several permanently installed life size dioramas and wall displays of early native Iroquois arts, life and traditions exist. enThanks...

@2' x 5'

with this installation I added one color on each successive day marked with 

the Sun's astronomical/astrological placement. beginning with charcoal

I made with Weeping Willow Salix alba, Red, Orange & Yellow ochres, 

Green, Blue, Violet & White Earth pigments...

the photo journaling continues now with documenting the process of Earth

re-membering the pigments and with remineralizing the garden space physically and energetically...

as a full spectrum color mineral concentrate it will be mixed and blended with this year's compostings 

and spread with intention into the garden soil here in Tillson, NY. with the winds, the draining

waters and its' vibrational sync with our healing Universe it will align with cyclic natures' way...

with the following photos I'm circling the Earth with the iPhone camera at the Cardinal 

directions East, South, West &  North and then spiraling inward with Earth. the colors meld 

energetically and physically with the Earth. a compost produced with other nutrient rich compostings and

 the colored Earth compost is added with a row of Peas. Pam and Caitlyn, Mother and 

our Daughter planted together. the first crop of the year! ...

Spring, dark and light orbs

Earth pigments with Water and Metal pan(s)

4/9/15

applied red (Earth), green (Heart) and violet (Spirit) Earth pigments onto the surface of clockwise stirred circularly Spring rain water within two coupled Metal pans. as the 9th day of the month the metaphor of the number 9 and the container within the container can represent setting limits and establishing firm boundaries... and here with one photo image above and the other below the number 8 formed by the circles suggests an infinite space. the circle can also represent an infinity... the relationship of light and dark exists as a balanced dance in space and time...
