The magic of magnetic carbon blue is the element that makes this card mesmerizing. This carbon blue handmade silk paper scroll card is framed with silver design bars that make the effect all the more magical. A silver ribbon ties the box envelope.
There's something organic and sensual about the movement from the liturgical space to the real world that I'm sure must have been intended, or at least acknowledged, by the people who built and worshipped in these places before protestantism came along and turned us all into bible ponderers...

David Chipperfield STICKS AND STONES
Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin
Opening - Mittwoch, 01. OKTOBER 2014 - 20:00 Uhr
02. Oktober 2014 - 31. Dezember 2014
STICKS AND STONES ist ein Prolog auf die denkmalgerechte Sanierung der Neuen Nationalgalerie in Berlin, die das Büro David Chipperfield Architects mit Beginn des Jahres 2015 durchführen wird. Den Universalraum der oberen Glashalle verwandelt der britische Architekt David Chipperfield für drei Monate in eine Säulenhalle aus 144 (bzw. 143) Baumstämmen.
Die Veranstaltung ist die letzte Ausstellungseröffnung vor der sanierungsbedingten Schließung der Neuen Nationalgalerie.
Der Museumsbau von Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) beeindruckt auch gut 50 Jahre nach Fertigstellung durch seine moderne Stringenz, die wesentlich durch die besondere Dachkonstruktion geprägt ist. Das scheinbar freischwebende Stahldach wird von acht außenliegenden Stahlsäulen getragen und ermöglicht so den stützenfreien Innenraum von 2500 qm. Von dem englischen Kinderreim „Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me“ leiht sich Chipperfield nur den eingängigen Anfang, um auf zwei wesentliche Elemente des Mies-Baus, aber auch der Architektur im Allgemeinen zu verweisen: Säulen oder Stützen („Sticks“) und Steine („Stones“).
Mit entrindeten Fichtenstämmen, die in dichtem Raster gestellt gut acht Meter hoch vom Granitfußboden zum Stahldachtragwerk reichen, lenkt David Chipperfield den Blick auf Grundfragen des Bauens. Visuell ihrer statischen Funktion entledigt, werden Mies van der Rohes Dachstützen gleichermaßen zum Exponat wie die Baumstämme. Zwischen den Stämmen und den Stützen, zwischen Natur und Architektur spannt sich ein Feld, das die lange Kulturgeschichte der Säule umfasst. Vor dem Hintergrund der bevorstehenden Restaurierung der Neuen Nationalgalerie ist der Stützenwald zugleich eine Verneigung vor dem großen Vorgänger Mies van der Rohe und eine Metapher für die kommende Baustelle.
Den Besuchern dieser begehbaren Installation bietet sich ein Raumerlebnis mit stark assoziativer Kraft. Im Mittelpunkt des Stützenwaldes befindet sich eine „Lichtung“, ein quadratischer, 200 qm großer Platz, wo architekturbezogene, interdisziplinäre Veranstaltungen stattfinden werden, u.a. das Festival of Future Nows des Instituts für Raumexperimente der Universität der Künste Berlin unter der Leitung von Olafur Eliasson.

David Chipperfield STICKS AND STONES
Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin

STICKS AND STONES is a prologue to the refurbishment of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, which will be realised by David Chipperfield Architects at the beginning of 2015. For three months, British architect David Chipperfield will transform the universal space of the upper glass hall into a columned hall made of 144 (or 143) tree trunks.
The event is the last exhibition opening before the Neue Nationalgalerie closes for refurbishment.
The museum building by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) still impresses a good 50 years after completion with its modern stringency, which is essentially characterised by the special roof construction. The seemingly free-floating steel roof is supported by eight external steel columns, allowing for a column-free interior of 2500 square metres. Chipperfield borrows only the catchy beginning of the English nursery rhyme "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" to refer to two essential elements of the Mies building, but also of architecture in general: Columns or supports ("sticks") and stones ("stones").
With debarked spruce trunks arranged in a dense grid a good eight metres high from the granite floor to the steel roof structure, David Chipperfield draws attention to the fundamental questions of building. Visually stripped of their static function, Mies van der Rohe's roof supports become as much an exhibit as the tree trunks. Between the trunks and the columns, between nature and architecture, a field spans the long cultural history of the column.Against the backdrop of the upcoming restoration of the Neue Nationalgalerie, the forest of columns is both a tribute to the great predecessor Mies van der Rohe and a metaphor for the upcoming construction site.
Visitors to this walk-in installation are offered a spatial experience with strong associative power. At the centre of the Stützenwald is a "clearing", a square 200 square metres in size, where architecture-related, interdisciplinary events will take place, including the Festival of Future Nows organised by the Institute for Spatial Experiments at the Berlin University of the Arts under the direction of Olafur Eliasson.

Today the Jodo Mission of Hawaii saw the return of its hand-painted Japanese hanging scroll. At least 60 years old and the second largest such artifact in Hawaii, it was fully restored by skilled Japanese artisans under the direction of Japan Memorial Corporation's Tatsuji Maeda, who presented the restoration work to the Jodo Mission board this morning. This prized artwork will be carefully stored and only displayed in the temple maybe twice a year. I'd love to hear from anyone who knows more about these scrolls, it was certainly an education for us (and a substantial investment).
Iron Flowers
sluggish, semi-stagnant
the water in Haitian gutters,
small gullets, trickles green,
sewerage green, here even
the dirt is poor and
there is a cloying dullness
camouflaging even strongly
persistent colors
in squared, white walled
cemeteries
funeral flowers are made of
painted iron/ i see no roses
rising through this Port
Au Prince poverty
i hesitate to take pictures
it is like thievery
almost like
i am stealing precious light
that these, my brothers and sister,
need to live

M'lady Jasmine was crowned the Rat Queen of the Wyewood Revel 2011. Her name was filled on on site. The scroll composed on marbled vellum. The Lombardic versal H is whimsical in nature, portraying the locked gates of Wyewood Shire sitting on a rat-hole hill in front of a golden piece of cheese. Right now, I am into drolleries, so I came up with this very simple one for this children's scroll. The wave motif at the bottom was originally intended to flow under the castle like the River Wye, but ended up in the bottom right quadrant.

Vertical ffs, the width of the scroll appears to retain the dimensions of a violin scroll. Again the volutes engulf the eyes.
There is an odd gas station east of Edmonton, AB on the Yellowhead Highway that has functional pumps, electronic signs that work and burned out buildings. Got his interesting scroll design from the accompanying house.
