it's well past the season when we need fans to keep cool. Even though today's high was 12 degrees C, which is "warm" for this time of year, it's already cooled down to 4 C and the high tomorrow will be 2 C. I guess I really should stop procrastinating and put it away. HSoS!

A collection of green objects from around my studio.
And...for a closer peek at these green objects. Enjoy!
"Speakless", Gregori Zilber
Blown glass, readymade wooden chair, metal screws, metal wire.
Inspired by Gustav Meyrink's novel "Der Golem" (1914), Zilber concentrates on the power of the void and the mysteries of the physical and spiritual existence. In an attempt to construct meaning through the metaphor of the human body and control the ways in which glass gains and retains meaning. Zilber created a life-size human marionette (a Golem?) made from hollow parts of clear blown glass. His dematerialized, mute, "speakless" figure - half-revealing and half-concealing itself - is like an empty container that can be filled with mental, emotional, or spiritual content. Its power lies in its silence, its immateriality, and its submissiveness - captivating and captivated at the same time.
Heart nebula (IC 1805) in the constellation Cassiopeia (early mornings here is Arkansas, this time of year) ... some 7500 light years away (Wikipedia) an emission nebula. (a fascinating read...)

In fact the found object is a deer skull which I found in the middle of a wood and arranged on a decomposing tree stump.

"1001 Remarkable Objects presents an unexpected juxtaposition of objects in 25 rooms that lead us on a journey across time and memory. The selection includes objects that have never been exhibited until now alongside much loved Powerhouse Collection icons."
‘We rejected the nomenclature of “treasures” or “masterpieces” and instead determined all choices must be in some way “remarkable” – whether by virtue of rarity, visual appeal, social history or an ability to invoke wonder.’ Leo Schofield AM
A circus is a company of performers that may include clowns, acrobats, trained animals, trapeze acts, musicians, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and other object manipulation and stunt-oriented artists. The term 'circus' also describes the performance which has followed various formats through its 150 year modern history. Philip Astley is credited with being the 'father' of the modern circus when he opened the first circus in 1768 in England. Early circuses were almost exclusively demonstrations of equestrian skills with a few other types of acts to link the horsemanship performances. Performances developed significantly through the next fifty years, with large scale theatrical battle reenactments becoming a significant feature. The 'traditional' format, whereby a ringmaster introduces a varied selection of acts that mostly perform choreographed acts to traditional music, developed in the latter part of 19th century and continued almost universally to be the main style of circus up until 1970s. Contemporary circus has been credited with reviving the circus tradition since 1980s when a number of groups introduced circus based almost solely on human skills and which drew from other performing art skills and styles. As styles of performance have changed since the time of Astley, so too have the types of venues where these circuses have performed. The earliest modern circuses were performed in open air structures with limited covered seating. From the late 18th to late 19th century bespoke circus buildings (often wooden) were built with various types of seating, a centre ring and sometimes a stage. The 'traditional' large tents, commonly known as 'Big Tops' were introduced in the mid 19th century as touring circuses superseded static venues. These tents eventually became the most common venue and remain so to the present day. Contemporary circuses perform in a variety of venues including tents, theatres and casinos. Many circus performances are still held in a ring usually 13 m (42 ft) in diameter. This dimension was adopted by Philip Astley in the late 18th century as the minimum diameter that enabled an acrobatic horse rider to stand upright on a cantering horse to perform their tricks.
Ein Zirkus (lateinisch circus „Kreis“, Plural: Zirkusse) – oder auch Circus – ist ein Unterhaltungsunternehmen oder eine Gruppe von Artisten, die eine Vorstellung mit verschiedenen artistischen (zirzensischen) Darbietungen (Akrobatik, Clownerie, Zauberei, Tierdressuren) zeigt.
Die Schreibweise „Circus“ benutzen die meisten Zirkusse wegen des lateinischen Ursprungs, etwa im Eigennamen „Circus Krone“.
Das deutsche Wort Zirkus wird vom griechischen „kirkos” oder lateinischen „circus” hergeleitet. Beide Begriffe bezeichneten im antiken Griechenland und Rom eine kreis- oder ellipsenförmige Arena, in der in erster Linie Wagenrennen und seltener Tierkämpfe der Gladiatoren stattfanden (z. B. Circus Maximus). Mehr als die Form der „Bühne“ hat der neuzeitliche Zirkus mit dem antiken Circus nicht gemeinsam.

Reaching the brushy Altiplano, we frequently encountered llamas, alpaca, sheep, and their herders. We seemed to be as much a curiosity to them as they were to us.

I've been working in several new directions the last few months. I had been photographing arrangements of things-- I'm doing more gluing and physical construction of objects now. I'd also like to incorporate more narrative in my work and reference the human form.
