REFLECTED BY NATURE
filtering thoughts
forest reflection

Yesterday made in de Hollandse-Biesbosch at het Griend-eiland a beautiful place to be.
Will be doing some workshops there in the near future, calling it silent photography.
typical
Illuminated Lightness
emotional landscape, beautiful to be
First art work for the exhibition Finished
twisted words flowing
from one landscape into an other
land scape
as we try to find
a missing
point
rivers
floating over recycled waste
landing inside
memories
making connections
bridging
river edges
mistic waters
shifting space
pillow tears
living on the edge
line by line
makes no sense
you need to turn your head
swing around
corners
reading mindset
mistakes
moving numbers
one year
to next year
soul solid solitude
where it will be
cloud river
Illuminated Lightness

Sometimes things just happen while clearing up, finding bits and pieces, reading old notebooks.
The poem starts in the top left corner and ends next to the photo, hard to read but perhaps that is not needed.
Als je Nederlands spreekt dan kan je elk woord lezen.
Under cover
them tiny corners under feet
reflecting hidden songs, if you look hard
you will find her on the site of your written book
site corner
She hides for the stars of eyes your eyes mine eyes our eyes
she hide and cries between lost leafs
leaving her sky behind
her wandering over the unknown
red companion
she burst into cover not to run
a red companion with black dots under white stem Birch
trees
how can i hide like her
hide
the call of that lost moment
everybody wants to go to that forest as a reflection on running pencils
under music of leafs they all sit in total silence
while going somewhere
flight
she flies away
over pocket secrets
which beak will capture her red motion
tickle them black dots above moving feet with hundred toes
got to show how
thats why sun shines
if you don’t know why you shine
under them leafs you got to go

A little visitor while writing in my notebook made the day extra special, she wasn’t the only visitor.
Life is wonderful in a forest.
Went to discover a new place to take some photos of leafs for the exhibition and to write poetry for the exhibition.
it was a very inspirational day.

So now my task lays with collecting people, people who are willing to create this Land Art Forest.
Community art for nature made with people, wherever you are on this planet.
Nature knows no borders, no nationalities.
Imagine you have trees at a place you can’t be but will never leave.

Once a year with an art event we come together one way or an other to find inspiration.
Maybe virtual, possible actual, what ever way, it will be a part of you.
If you ever hear me saying something bad about trees, call the ambulance as there will be something seriously wrong with me.
In other words i love trees!
There are not many landscapes without trees, even in the harsh environment of cities you will see trees. Trees make hard edges soft.
It is my honest opinion that trees are artists.
In 2013 i discovered this amazing Beech tree at the Gwaun Valley and came to the conclusion that trees are artists.
Creating Land Art with trees is like a collaboration with a diverse group of artists and there is no way you can tell them what to do and how to represent themselves.
Here you can read about trees as artists and meet the amazing artists the Beech tree.
Whenever you tell a tree, you can’t do that, there will be one who will prove you wrong. A tree on the rocks, trees on the old building creeping out of a broken window.
Trees grow tall, trees grow small very small.
Trees leave no footprint, trees leave leafs and take your footprint within them to eat up our vandalising breath.
So tell me, just tell me how can you own a tree, how can you own growth from a tree.
Well, you plant them and you plant even more TREES to enjoy their artistic approach to life on this planet.
What to prove
by
planting a tree
How to perceive beyond
the green
sixty centimetres
noting more
skinny being in cracked soil
slight different angle
aspects turned around
to breath
more than sound
when growth outmined viewpoint
against the wind
inside that intersection of no belief
Slide 5 PLANTING TREES
Its all done before
and
it will be done again
to form a pattern
close a circle
tree will outgrow you and me
to leave something, we can’t reach
telling stories nobody reads
time will tell
how we feel
interactive transgression
meaning of nature to clean
that what we leave in a leaf
the counter weight of transactions
showing an image not made by hand
slide 6 other artists
to shake it all again
not so sure about the name
as what is in the name of ART
more than poverty over brain
what is it worth
for YOU?
Going from a poem inside the drop towards the conversation on the ground.

As there is not much more to say i share some great sites to explore:
The idea is not new but old, planting a garden is art, illustrating that garden is art, telling stories about that garden is art, taking a photo of that garden is art, hiding in that garden is art.
