In the celebrated metropolis of London, during the year 1837, an era wherein steam reigned as the sovereign of invention and the harbinger of man's mastery over nature, there was convened a conclave of women unparalleled in their intellect and indomitable in their courage. The Aetherian Coalescence, they were titled, each a luminary in her own right, united under the banner of progress and the pursuit of the ethereal realms.
Lady Penelope Hargreaves, the scion of a lineage graced with the acumen of engineering, her hands adept at weaving the intricate lattices of clockwork that gave pulse to their airborne leviathan. Dr. Arabella Swithenbank, whose steam engines thrummed with a vigor that was the very essence of Prometheus’ fire. Miss Theodosia Barrow , an enchantress of the voltaic forces, her devices casting the brilliance of a thousand captured lightning bolts across the span of their craft. Dame Guinevere Loxley, the cartographer whose charts rivalled the celestial maps of the ancients, a guiding star in their odyssey. And Miss Isambard Brunella, a machinist of such deftness that her creations spoke of a harmony between the artisan's touch and the unyielding metals of the earth.
The vessel of their dreams, "The Celestial Peregrine," stood poised upon the cusp of dawn, her silhouette a testament to humanity's ascendancy over the bonds of gravity, her engines a symphony of steam and steel. As the first light of morning kissed the Thames, the airship ascended, a ballet of gears and gales, into the empyrean canvas above.
Yet, as is the wont of fate, the skies unveiled their tempestuous heart, challenging these daughters of Icarus with a squall of such ferocity that it seemed as though the firmament itself sought to reclaim its dominion from the hands of mortals. But amidst the maelstrom, the resolve of The Aetherian Coalescence shone with the steadfastness of the North Star, and it was by their unity and the fortitude of their creation that “The Celestial Peregrine” was guided safely through the tumult, descending not in wreckage upon the tumultuous sea but upon the embrace of the verdant earth with the grace of a nightingale alighting upon its nest.
From this odyssey emerged a revelation, a spark of genius that would illuminate the path of progress henceforth. They devised an apparatus, a marvel of valvular alchemy, which would render the steam engines of the future not only more robust against the caprices of the tempest but also more gracious in their consumption of the coals that fed them. This mechanism, born from the exigencies of their voyage, became the cornerstone of an epoch wherein the skies teemed with the silhouettes of airships, each a scion of "The Celestial Peregrine," carrying aloft not only the affluent but all who yearned for the splendor of the heavens.
Thus, The Aetherian Coalescence had not simply touched the skies; they had transmuted the very fabric of human aspiration, setting the celestial highways abuzz with the promise of adventures untold. It was a testament to the boundless potential when the ingenuity of the human spirit is applied to the realms of the possible, and it was in this spirit that the age of aerial travel flourished, under the watchful eyes of the five who had first chartered its course.
Tau Lewis’ hands-on process of making is committed to healing personal and collective traumas, especially in relation to histories and lived experiences within the African diaspora. In Symphony, reclaimed clothing and fabrics have been repurposed into an expressive portrait of a “mutable being devoid of gender, that can transmute into blossoms”. A clairvoyant spirit connecting geographies, souls and time, both earthly and ancestral, Symphony has eyes formed of seashells and arms welcoming in an open embrace. Reflecting on non-gendered motherhood and gardens as sources of knowledge and growth, the work envisions a world of radical care, self-reservation and resilience in which joy, freedom and triumphant love are nurtured and shared. --- --- --- canadianart.ca/features/tau-lewis-groundations/
"Have you ever seen a drop of ink fall into a glass of water?"
This weekend I was talking with my friend Roquai about the conception of the Ink Flowers, my last release for The Season Story, and why I didn't call them roses...
Their origin is inspired in the form that does an ink drop when falling into the water and are, indeed, an alchemist hibrid between a calla, a rose and an orchid.
The inspiration came after several days of sleep deprivation, an overdose of sugar (just eating that, sugar things, as L, from Death Note) and de-stressing with some friends, specially one (<3).
Yeah I know... not the most healthy diet nor behavior in the world... but at least I hope you like my Ink Flowers!!
More on them: evestudio3d.wordpress.com/2017/04/08/poison-army-of-me-in...
Enjoy ;)
The moon has awoken with the sleep of the sun
Light has been broken and the spell has begun
Step into another realm, it's a dark night
You never know what you’ll see or you might find
Open up your mind and pay close attention
Invite the ghosts, engage your senses
Light your candles and watch the room glow
Moon glow outside your window
In the shadows the music will find you
With a rhyme designed to bind you
While I invoke intense attractions
Positive and negative reactions
Transmutation, divination
It’s all about the imagination
Interpretation, intoxication
Lay back in the cut and feel the vibration
I will go back to the great sweet mother,
Mother and lover of men, the sea.
I will go down to her, I and no other,
Close with her, kiss her and mix her with me.

Another of the sculptures in the current outdoor exhibition at Chatsworth - Radical Horizons, The Art of Burning Man at Chatsworth
This colourful creature seems to be leaping/flying through the air, the following information is taken from the Chatsworth website...
Transmutation invites us to reflect on what would happen if we brought back extinct species through genetic cloning. In this exercise, the artists Arturo Gonzalez and Maru Izaguirre question whether it is ethical to play at being gods and whether this return of extinct species, such as the sabre-toothed tiger, will give rise to new beings created by man.
Transmutation is a larger-than-life manifestation of the brightly coloured Mexican folk art sculptures called Alebrijes. Alebrijes traditionally feature mythical creatures that combine elements of several different animals. The skeleton of this creature is made of fibreglass and metal, while the outside is adorned with traditional Mexican patterns in acrylic and fluorescent paint.
I'm out of time and with a creative block. So this picture is not conceptual, as I like to do. I am enjoying making friends with you on Flickr, so thank you for your loving words.
Inside all of us, there is a shadow.
This shadow envelops us, burn us.
But only with the fire that we can transmute our death into our life.

love [me] tender, a film by mary bogdan
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge6stQVsOOw
This series of intimate self-portraits has been a long time coming... it was my sister who was the "pretty one", the "thin one"... I grew up in her shadow... I was her little sister... never able to be mom's "favorite"... These are painful thoughts, years of feeling self-loathing... today I took these photos of myself with love & forgiveness, & thoughts of "I am beautiful"... chubby, but beautiful...
My heritage was my sense of myself as a "fat person"... not quite worthy of beauty & love. Feeling deep pains as I write this... but today is the day I fight back & say "It's OK to be fat"... It's beautiful if you feel beautiful inside, if you are loved deeply by a wonderful man & if you love yourself enough to forgive yourself for being "fat"...
I think these photos of myself are full of love & beauty... that's how I feel about [ME]... today.
SleepyOwl says: Oh, yes, the depth of the music layering really complements the depth of your personal revelatory journeying... You are so generous, Mary, to invite us to witness this transmutation of sorrow and painful memories. The video felt like an exorcism viewed through a kaleidoscope with its richness of shapes and colors, and at other moments there was the simple purity of free-fall flight -- into healing... I played the video a bunch of times -- first with the sound only, then with only the images, then integrated. Then on the fourth viewing I was struck with the message of the universality and the complexity and the power and the joy of human sensuality.

Just in time for Bionifight's closing, I managed to put together a MOC of my (second?) favorite character from the RPG: Virse, Toa of Sand. I've been wanting to MOC her for months, and now that I finally got some (knockoff) tan CCBS, I could finish her. I have to say I'm very proud of how she came out.
Virse hails from an alternate universe where the GSR was never built and the Toa were created to attempt to repair Spherus Magna. However, they only made it worse, and in the great Shattering that followed, the Great Beings were lost. The survivors were forced to war for resources, Glatorian vs. Toa. After thousands of years passed and hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, they reached an unsteady peace. Virse, like many other Toa, used this time to specialize her element, shifting from Stone to Sand, before being taken to fight in the Bionifight Tournament. When the Bionifight Facility crash-landed on Saarella Kirottu, Virse was lost and presumed dead in an attempt to liberate the prisoners of the Cult of War.
Virse wields a Heat Gauntlet, a weak Great Being relic capable of creating great heat, in which she can forge her hardened glass blades. She wears the Mask of Elemental Transmutation, allowing her to change her body into sand.

Indeed an honor to meet another fine-art photographer in the physical realm. A product of the transmutation of an online relationship which manifests into something real. I admired Liat work since I first viewed her photostream back into 2013. In fact, Liat work is one of the many Fine-art Flickr photographers who inspire me to create fine-art images when I began my journey.
I heard Liat stories about her connection to her images.Witnessing her relationship with her subjects (including myself). Acknowledging her different set of procedures. The best part though was just hanging out with her and Kendra.
Questioning my title? Whonnock is the name of the lake we explored. As for nymph, I like the concept of them.

வரிகள்: வைரமுத்து
“If Nature denies eternity to beings, it follows that their destruction is one of her laws. Now, once we observe that destruction is so useful to her that she absolutely cannot dispense with it from this moment onward the idea of annihilation which we attach to death ceases to be real what we call the end of the living animal is no longer a true finish, but a simple transformation, a transmutation of matter. According to these irrefutable principles, death is hence no more than a change of form, an imperceptible passage from one existence into another.” -- Marquis De Sade
人生在於感悟,生活在於領悟
One of the many elderly seen visiting the Hungry Ghosts Festival. Most of them are spending time at the grounds chatting up with old pals, telling stories about the good old days.
=====
The Ghost Festival, also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, or Yu Lan is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 15th night of the seventh month (14th in southern China).
In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm.
Distinct from both the Qingming Festival (in spring) and Chung Yeung Festival (in autumn) in which living descendants pay homage to their deceased ancestors, on Ghost Day, the deceased are believed to visit the living.
On the fifteenth day the realms of Heaven and Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths.
Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mâché form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors

Respiro del Grande Padre

"Come da te richiesto, parlerò.
Molto tempo è trascorso dalla tua richiesta, pertanto farò del mio meglio per cercare di farmi comprendere da te.
Non sono totalmente del tuo mondo.
Non uso spesso le parole.
Sono una dimensione di trasformazione, un veicolo di trasmutazione, un sentiero di liberazione e un canale di comunicazione.
Sono il respiro della creazione.
Potrai affidare a me la tua malattia e riceverne sollievo.
Grazie a me, potrai conoscere la tua forza e guarire da dentro.
potrai ricrearti.
E' questo il dono del tuo Creatore, di cui io sono il respiro."

“As you requested, I will speak.
A lot of time has passed since your request, so I will do my best to try to make you understand me.
I'm not totally from your world.
I don't use words often.
They are a dimension of transformation, a vehicle of transmutation, a path of liberation and a channel of communication.
I am the breath of creation.
You will be able to entrust your illness to me and receive relief from it.
Thanks to me, you will be able to know your strength and heal from within.
you can recreate yourself.
This is the gift of your Creator, of which I am the breath."

Das Weiss des Schnees verwandelt sich im Licht der Sonne scheinbar teilweise zu Silber.
The White of the snow transmutes in the light of the sun seemingly partial to Silver.
Were I to come back to this idea, using the Chinese night lights I found on Amazon to light a subject...this would be where I'd start. More than just a strange light for a normal subject, I'd push the composition more, try to get weirder with the framing, with what I'd have my subjects do.
So much of looking at the old photos, right now, is about seeing new avenues from old techniques. What roads did I neglect to follow, which avenues did I not investigate.
An easy way to end up regretful, but I see it as a map to new possibilities. It's not always easy, but it's important to keep yourself from sliding into negative feelings like regret. Actively push against that kind of thing. What happened happened, a positive way of transmuting that feeling is considering where it can take you, looking forward.
This photo doesn't make me think about what I should've done, but about what I Can do, next time I have the opportunity.

"La Volpe è intelligente, intuitiva, strategica, resiliente, indipendente, è veloce nel pensare e nell'agire, accoglie l'imprevisto con apertura, gioca con l'inaspettato, si rende invisibile a chi la intralcia e si fa beffe delle avversità. Ci dona una medicina molto preziosa che trasmuta la lamentela in forza creativa."

"The Fox is intelligent, intuitive, strategic, resilient, independent, is quick to think and act, welcomes the unexpected with openness, plays with the unexpected, makes herself invisible to those who get in her way and mocks adversity. It gives us a very precious medicine that transmutes complaint into creative force."

This is a close-up photo of a purple plastic vase featuring a cartoonish smiling face. The leaf patterns on the vase in the background suggest the location of the narrative might be a south seas island, or Florida. The purple face conveys all the manic energy of a serious personality disorder, driving at you like a big truck with a jihadist behind the wheel, or four years of a Trump presidency culminating in a right-wing insurrection, and a world-wide pandemic.
These collective traumatic shared cultural tragedies become part of the inner landscape of an individual's consciousness, where hopefully their toxicity can be transmuted by conscious love.
Auric Goldfinger’s cousin Tony (see “Goldfinger” by Ian Fleming) discovered that by fiddling with Chinese “Havana” microwave technology he could transmute objects into gold.
The trick was how to monetize Midas Tech without flooding the market with gold and lowering its value. Finally he hit upon a scheme. He transmuted a series of figures (from mannequins to toy action figures) and is now looking to crowdfund his new company Midas Tech Mannequin & Trophy Works. Care to invest?

"We two--how long we were fool'd!
Now transmuted, we swiftly escape, as Nature escapes;
We are Nature--long have we been absent, but now we return;
...
We are two resplendent suns--we it is who balance ourselves, orbic
and stellar--we are as two comets;
...
We have circled and circled till we have arrived home again--we two
have;
We have voided all but freedom, and all but our own joy. "
These pieces are taken from Walt Whitman's larger poem entitled We Two-How Long We Were Fool'd
Once autumn and winter arrive, I find myself surprised everytime I find a flower. We stop taking them for granted as we do in the spring and summer. These roses although long past bloom still look like flowers. All this week I will show you some flowers in nature that aren't really flowers but make this cold season special.
