a progressing transformation note 7

Here the panels are in position on the coffee dyed canvas duck panel that will be drawn into with beeswax and natural pigment by participants present at the Solstice celebration. Intentions of our mind, our body & our spiritual commitment to peace, love, and co-creativity will be spoken and reverberate throughout the land. These spoken words will be imprinted into the land and travel the ley lines of the earth grid, delivering our intentions around the globe and into the universe.  These spoken intentions will travel within, along the grid of meridians within our bodies and awaken and reinforce our cellular memory, reinforcing our commitment to this new evolution in mankind. The canvas will then be dampened with water element and the panels' jute ends will have fire element applied. As the jute grid burns through the remaining unburned paper, jute, beeswax, pigment and ash will lay upon the dampened canvas. A new image will be formed on the canvas panel and displayed.

enJoy the fire sign Sagittarius Full Moon and lunar eclipse today! A good time to consciously complete projects and issues. The eclipse will amplify these possibilities for us.

Benefit to "Stop Titan"

 Am donating this piece for auction to our local STAN Stop Titan Action Network http://stoptitan.org/. The benefit takes place tonite at Projekte Gallery at the corner of 3rd & Castle Sts. The event kicks off at 5 with activities for our young ones and continues thru the evening with auction, music and celebration to raise funds.

Cementon w/Dying Fish Spirits      Beeswax & Natural Pigment      Greg Patch              

I did this painting in 1989 on the east bank of the Hudson River in New York. At that time the cement plant in Cementon, NY was flagrantly polluting the river. The people of the region united by raising funds and bringing awareness to the problem. Legislation passed and cleanup and regulations began. One of the major influencers was and still is Pete Seeger's Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Each year they hold the Clearwater Festival to celebrate cleaning up, down.

from the STAN website;
"Since Titan America first announced plans to build one of the largest cement manufacturing and strip mine facilities in the nation on the banks of the Northeast Cape Fear River outside of Wilmington, NC, a strong community coalition has come together to fight this project. Known as the Stop Titan Action Network (STAN), we aim to protect our air, water, aquifers and public health in the Cape Fear region. We strive to create a thriving, healthy and sustainable economy that exists in harmony with the rich natural heritage and abundant coastal resources we all share and on which our future depends."

Ecological Disaster! First Drafts: Christo's 'Over the River' - The Atlantic

 Covering a river with enameled (toxic material) sheets the nourishing rays of the sun are shielded from entering the flowing waters. The reflection of the rays off the surface of the waters is an important process of the biological processes of Earth as well. All life is effected adversely in the name of art and Christo.
