here the salt under the tatched roof afar. waking up in the morning you see fishermen in the lagoon gathering fish caught in a wall like structure planted in the water. the mangrove plants are amazing ,sadly prawn farming has removed a lot of the areas.

ice-fragile thought

david.Ruth blog from antarctica had some amazing ice forms, he mentions the evasive quality of ice-snow -hard to photograph- like remembering dreams or trying to understand fragile thought.

I wonder lonely as a nordic cloud.

Art ECOLOGY as a label ,remove it and what does one have left- what can one label with this? Why label this? Perhaps to put a clearer focus .And hold the viewers thoughts on a specific track.

malaga muscatel dried grapes

try them if you find it, my work on linen canvass about montserrat and a picnic in a vinyard near santes creus-today i lay gold leaf on the linen in a filigree free form dread the smell of the gold glue-- tincture.
the light from the first star is looking quietly brilliant-very quiet,not knowing what light is in the begining of the first star ever-
thinking of bannana leaf umbrellas, coconut sugar and flat bread called roti.------------------------------------ART-ECOLOGY--------------------------------------------everyday thought.

urban green dance

As some may hug trees, in cold nordic urban warmth ,hasten to remind some urban trees are made of steel! so while kissing the bark your lips may freeze onto it.
Somewhere in Rotterdam they dance to create electricity-Hindu s offer dance to please their GODS, forest people dance to evoke strength before the hunt so why not ,urban people dance to create electricity bravo Delft university for sensor mat project.
I dance in my mind with ideas that erase fears of fathomless november night skies.
