Step into the curious world of Pierre Gordeeff, where hand-built machines come alive. These installations, both poetic and bizarre, turn everyday objects into a mechanical theater. Mixing recycled materials, raw invention, and a touch of dark humor, each piece challenges how we see function and creativity.

Mixing recycled materials, raw invention, and a touch of dark humor, each piece challenges how we see function and creativity.
The performance involved the artist moving in a slow, contemplative improvisation, while releasing colored inks from a water carrier ~ body sculpture, onto papers arranged on the floor in front of the audience present, and intimate, within a few feet of the mindful, concentrated attention, performative action.

We need the President of the U.S.A. to unite all Americans not divide them, also one who will work together with our allies in order to bring us together with countries throughout the world to find positive solutions. We need to learn tolerance, understanding, love, respect and a way to create positive dialogue between all races, genders and non-violent religions. Hate only divides, love is the only answer. Through love, we can learn to collaborate and find democratic and mutual solutions to our disagreements. We don't always agree but can spend time to find ways to work things out. We can start at home, continue into our communities, other countries and globally. We need to include everyone, no-one deserves not to have a home, education, food on the table and good health. If we all try we can find solutions to this tremendous problem and stop the greed and selfishness. Life is always more fun working together, nothing much is achieved alone. Let's get together and insist that our government works for all of us. There is room for everyone in this world, especially when hate, privilege, and power are eliminated.
Today I have decided to once again share my daughter, Karen Lewis's poem, which she wrote for my painting Coming Together, her words make even more sense today:
COMING TOGETHER
Asian, Latin, European, African,
Native, Indigenous, Foreign, Alien,
Descriptions that fall short,
vague splotches on the canvas of life.
All have but one heart that beats,
blood is but one color.
Flesh and Features, each unique
Organs and muscles, identical.
Each face a work of art
Each mark distinctively it's own.
The beauty of our differences
far surpasses mere mortal comprehension.
Each unmatched culture,
it's own vibrant combination of colors and sounds,
the pulsing of a nation, a people.
These different beats unite,
to make the music of our world.
As each exceptional voice blends with the other,
the harmony of humanity rises
high above the dark clouds of oppression and ignorance.
North, South, East, West,
a baby's cry is but the same.
The pang of hunger and indifference
changes not with skin color.
In the ears of every mother and father
every sister and brother
the cries of oppression should ring loud.
A call to action, a call to save our human family.
Our differences are but brush strokes on this canvas,
each unique in shape and color
when viewed together.....
form the masterpiece of mankind.

Twenty-five years ago people could be excused for not knowing much, or doing much, about climate change. Today we have no excuse.

If you really think that the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money.
Guy McPherson
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.

This is not a partisan debate; it is a human one. Clean air and water, and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is our moral obligation.

Climate change is no longer some far-off problem; it is happening here; it is happening now.
Barack Obama

Glass chips set up on the edge of a sheet of black plexiglass. The chips are from a broken thick, heavy water glass. The only light source in this shot is natural daylight coming through the window. The green on the left end of the top piece is a reflection of the trees outside. This lighting provided swirling colours within the edges of the glass. Artificial lights produced a mostly black and white photo.
The longest chip on top of the other two is 39mm in length.
Used 68mm of extension tubes.

You may wonder why I have personalized this work. I did so because I realize how lucky I am with my immediate family and good friends who all give me so much-needed love, help, and support. I also want to take this moment to thank all of my special Flickr friends who have given me so much. I have learned a great deal from you all and know that I have a great deal more to learn. Thank you!
I have been lucky with the amazing love and support that I have received throughout my life and fully appreciate it. I just want to remind everyone that we all need one another and we need to reach out in whatever way that we can.
On another note, I think of the amazing accomplishments that Andrea Bocelli has achieved having become blind at the age of 12. Through his will and courage, he has achieved fame and using his beautiful voice to the fullest for all of us to enjoy, such a gift to give and receive!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
But the sea

To be honest I don't know if this is a bee or a wasp. I did look it up, but the list is so long and rather complicated, I gave up. I would be more than happy to learn what it is from anyone knowledgeable.
It fascinates me to know that I can get in close with my iPhone and observe its behavior, making me a little bit more knowledgeable. Nature is fascinating and there is so much to look at.

Bruce Springsteen is an amazing artist who put his full self into his performances, an incredibly talented artist.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxuThNgl3YA
This work is based upon his awesome song Born to Run, find the lyrics below:
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway nine,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
H-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Yes, girl we were
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
H-Oh, Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
Babe I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
In an everlasting kiss
One, two, three, four
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
H-Oh, Someday girl I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go
And we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Oh honey, tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Come on with me, tramps like us
Baby we were born to run

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ultimately, America's answer to the intolerant man is diversity.
Robert Kennedy
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
We are all different, which is great because we are all unique. Without diversity life would be very boring.
Catherine Pulsifer
We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.
Max de Pree
Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.

Our task must be to free ourselves … by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Albert Einstein
Our pets are our family.
Ana Monnar
You cannot share your life with a dog … or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
Jane Goodall
Animals are sentient, intelligent, perceptive, funny and entertaining. We owe them a duty of care as we do to children.

Dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.
Gilda Radner
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
Sigmund Freud,
Just watching my cats can make me happy.
Paula Cole
People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
