tear
sedition
silence tears fall down her face leaving a trailed salted crystals
no sounds no sob no shaking shoulders her face deadly still
teardrops trincle down while darkness surrounds her
feathers from dead ducks support her head, getting slowly wet
woollen weight from perhaps walking sheeps suppress her into bed
eyes wide open leaving flowing tears out like rising tide
midnight blue skylight sprinkle her face through plastic windows
legs stretch out door open into well known surrounding
rise
pyjam trousers soaks up tearing morning dew
streaming river cobble at edge kissing bare feet
released to feel, see, hear tender beauty entering morning seal
words try to push out sinking emotion deem well known answers
first feathery touch leaves sheltered leafs turn above head
shouts wake up all the rest with revolt reddening light
sun appears above hill line enlightening all water drops onto blood coral beads
tomorrow she must leave what holds her so dear
the why creates sedition where can silent tears find that courage
any government during any time in any place does the same
declaring this kind of living illegal
giving the people hell
so others can spend their money
so i will walk against the government any government who
destroys what is so dear to me
showing my photos while walking
ANY LANDSCAPE
Actually LandArt can be lots more than ‘a conversation with nature or landscape questioning our relationship with the land and nature’. Or even that wonderful wording of re-order our response to place, landscape or nature. What then?
Look at this video of Andy Goldsworthy:
The conversation uses little words but what he says sounds the perfect wording for what Land Art might be or could be, if you let it happen. His questioning happens in silence and his response last perhaps just a day.
The word INTUItion jumps out, something we forget to use, a perception that feels stupid yet creates. He leaves reasoning behind while walking and in a way connecting to wherever he goes.
An other important wording all landscape. You can create Land Art in any landscape, you will find material to create whatever. Forget about a plan, let it happen while going. The change it will fail doesn’t matter, the change it all fall apart, makes it. The different approaches to each landscape as we all see that landscape different.
The collecting of material found in the landscape plays a central role as well. So come material landscape and intuition together in the creating of Land Art. The Land Art stays in place but vanish with time and some material stay longer than other; leaf against wood, wood against stone.
In the case of the waterfall you see the fallen wood made it possible to make drifting wood, the doodval will stay, while the drifting wood will flow away. Only the photo of the Land Art sells at time you create more for the photo, the pretty picture, than the Land Art, our society demands the selling particle.
Why would you need a long artists statement, why would you need a title?? Land Art speaks for herself.
Land Art not sculpturing nature but connecting culture with nature. A question could you create Land Art in the urban landscape?
Have a look at the video it will make your day or even week.
Soms kom je iets tegen dat je laat zien wat je niet kan zeggen. Deze video zegt zoveel meer over Land Art of landschap kunst dan de vele boeken en tijdschriften die een omschrijving zoeken wat misschien gewoon geen woorden nodig heeft. Andy Goldsworthy zegt weinig maar de paar woorden die gesproken worden laat heel wat zien over Land Art. Ieder landschap geeft haar eigen geheimen prijs als je er open voor staat. Loop niet door, loop niet over maar ga effe zitten om het tot je door te laten dringen.
Verzamel wat er zoal verspreid ligt en maak Land Art waar je ook bent. In Nederland vind je veel het stedelijke landschap maar ook hier kan je Land Art maken. Een uitdaging voor de volgende weken.
amazing
radro
that seeking feeling of wanting
wanting to do
to do something
something which matters
not
just a drop
in the biG ocean
something which matters
matter that counts
counts towards a difference
different approach
something which matters
silence contribution
towards a statement
we care
Creating photos
Many say ‘don’t take a photo create a photo’
The camera limitations made me to have to create photos. The use of pictureTalk, what do you want to say with your pictures, creates photos.
under the try-pot
The photography becomes a daily venture, a daily learning of picturesque. Your point of view altering every time you look.
The path took me back to the past, my early childhood years there were i learned to ice-skate. The roads were now so small compare to my childhood vision but the trees had grown. Only when you stop, only when you slow down you start to see what once was.
people always smile when my pictures are created as i lay close to the water surface and only the small camera can be there with me. The professional cameras will drop and drown, giving a very frustrated image. How can you place a trypote in the water close enough to the water surface. Than how can you take the moving leaf while standing solid on 3 legs.
So the photos are created with a simple camera which i can hold very still in my hand just above the water surface. The camera can be moved easy flowing with the floating leaf, perfect you would say.
Yep , but, the quality of the photo is such that it can’t be printed more than A3 and even than you see the pixels appear. SO, no photo program like photoshop or others will be able to overcome this by creating pixels, it can’t add on. The idea came to create even further a photo by using software, research shows some spectacle results of double exposure making one photo with several photos. OK That goes well over my head. Photoshop is a very complicated program which takes a long time learning but i have an old desktop publishing program with which i have created many leaflets, business cards, books and posters.
You can create layer over layer not giving the same effect as double exposure, still giving the possibility to create one photo with several photos and even better giving the possibility of collage.
The way to print on A3 without loosing any pixels. After lots of experimenting, the final cut has come. Using several photos i took while laying and standing there were i learned iceskating, perhaps the place where my love for nature started.
See you
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.
LandArt
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.
