About Dirae:
I find it fascinating that in the classical world, many facets of anger were personified as female. Nemesis and Nike were associated with vengeance and justified retribution, and The Furies, also known as Erinnyes or Dirae, were entities who pursued and tormented those who committed terrible crimes. How different from later generations of women discouraged from showing any hint of anger lest they be deemed ‘un-ladylike’. I still have great difficulty expressing anger. And if I do, I often find myself feeling guilt for years after... as if I were being haunted by the terrible Dirae themselves.
made for my sis - using old knit balls, a very old key, a replica of the Empire State Building ( think) and some other fun finds.

The cemetery made from found objects in my backyard is overgrown. The installation is an ongoing project that has been erected in one form or another since the 80's. Some of the objects have been exhibited as standalone pieces, but mostly the markers are in a state of decay [ process ]. These objects are waiting for another marker to be constructed.
Not much color in the arboretum on this March morning.
I began looking for anything colorful, even trash. Though out of place, this tennis ball looks right at home, like a mallard peacefully floating along on a tranquil pond.
This little eye ball was made from a shell, have never seen anything like it. Most likely for a teddy bear or small doll.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

I saw this outside Woolwich DLR station. The history of the pentagram symbol looks quite interesting...
