« repeat in red from all sides and out on location | Main | it was a dark and foggy morning »
i set out just after sunrise
dressed in linen
carrying two linen bags
one with my new eyes
the other my heavy load
and as i placed pebbles and stones
with intricate patterns and designs
heaviness translated into complexity
ancient threads unraveled and raveled yet again
i felt warm and light
and then as i stood up
my linen clothes
were begrimed
terra cotta
terra cotta = baked earth

Reminds me of snowflakes falling on our Christmas tree w/the ornaments my great granny crocheted.
I posted a pic w/some Resurrection Fern tonite... XO

terrific
I love how you placed your text like the stones in the ground's gaps
and of course how could I not notice the chicory ... (thank you !!) my beloved wildflower.
you have found such a neat idea, to photograph your art in nature itself.
good luck for your day, you're in my thoughts.
xoxoxo

The colours look beautiful against the red earth. The top few photos look so much like a crochet caterpillar marching through a valley.
How amazing it must have been to be there so early capturing that light.

forming their own river... the one with the blue border makes me think of water coming up over its edges. so gorgeous!

Now I'm worried. Were any stones begrimed terra cotta? Never mind the linen clothes. LOL

The beauty of your artistry gives me shivers:)

Oooo! I love the second photo from the top...and the fourth from the bottom! Makes me want to travel into the photo. Hold the stones. Lay on the (I'm sure) very warm red ground.
Thanks for sharing!

what a lovely, juicy, photo essay! I love the river of beloved tones and the myriad of footprints visible in some of the photos.

I can not help but think "Andy Goldsworthy" with a solid dose of crafting creativity. Forget my comment about the water - stay at the badlands. Carolina
