‘and on the seventh day God threw rocks at New England…’

New England stone walls deserve a science of their own

The abandoned fieldstone walls of New England are every bit as iconic to the region as lobster pots, town greens, sap buckets and fall foliage. They seem to be everywhere—a latticework of dry, lichen-crusted stone ridges separating a patchwork of otherwise moist soils.

Slideshow of process work in my studio, Planet Art. The installation is The Lay of the Land: Glacial Biocenosis, Museum of Northwest Art, 2018-2019, Surge exhibition. Scrolls are acrylic mixed media on digitized historic topographic maps of North Cascades glaciers. There are 3 posts in my blog; the first from 2018: https://www.planetart.space/the-lay-of-the-land-glacial-biocenosis-update/

The Lay of the Land: Glacial Biocenosis [update]

Encased in ice are secrets, minerals: mica, iron, phosphorus fossilized bodies of ferns and microbes, megafauna, mysteries of life, the living planet. We read these as charts, maps and stories to guide us

Dear friends,
The tide was fully out and the wind manifested as dead-calm. The Long Island Sound was still as a pond, each ripple free to express its presence to those wishing to bear witness.
Questions: Is the sea a singular organic being? Does it experience desire? Can it listen? Does it reply? Can we hear it?
