The Garden and the Tower: Early Visions of the New World
 |
| pen on watercolor paper, 22 by 30 inches |
I am a resident of sparsely populated California gold country- and the idea of Frontier- with its potential for the discovery of Gold as well as the potential Donner Party scenario- intrigues me and gives me the model from which I pull my relationship to the wilderness of the psyche
Tower of Babel II
I am a fireplace with a mirror on top.
What is the relationship between architecture, psychology, and the imagination? I first learned about forms of architecture with the purpose of attempting to free the imagination when I was a student of Anna Novakov. The ramifications of interior spaces in terms of affecting one's cognitive functions fascinates and intrigues me.
What might be possible when a young person grows up living in a space with the imagination as its primary design concern?
One remarkable character who has been asking this and similar questions for several decades now is artist and experimental architect Lebbeus Woods. Enjoy the discovery of his work:

Black Is The Color
A crazy Irishman from County Cork named Aodh Og [pronounced A-yogue] was my stepfather when I was a child in Palo Alto, California. He is a trained medieval and renaissance musician, and general merrymaker. We had a maypole in our garden, which we used each year. There was much rejoicing and live music played in the living room every day. It was hearing his early music group, Gai Saber, that first set my goosebumps going on the back of my neck and inspired me to want to sing. Aodh Og's own band, Four Shillings Short [named for a scene in a short story from James Joyce's Dubliners] has for the past many years been comprised of himself and his partner, Christy Martin. In the course of my sorrowful moments in life, Christy has taught me much from what she learned as a touring musician, cook, gardener, person, and as a sitar and Sanskrit student in India. She studied with a student of Ravi Shankar. I'd say my heart and mind have been buoyed back from the existential abyss by her sage words on more than one occasion. These extraordinary people and their band- which by the way literally lives on the road, touring nonstop for the past ten years- are immeasurably special and dear to me. Please enjoy their live performance of the traditional ballad Black Is The Color:
Four Shillings Short-"Black Is The Color"
They are constantly on the road across North America and Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, so it is likely they will play in your town at some point in the next couple of years if you live in those parts of the world.

Innocence
O wanderer
Learn to hold the hand
of stars of stars
For there is inside of us
a forest of blindness
there is kindness there and
longing eyes
it's bigger than the world
and twice as wild
you be the Ranger
and I'll be the Child.
you be the Ranger
and I'll be the Child.
the music is inspired by the theme to the 1961 movie The Innocents [which itself is a version of an ancient Welsh lullaby, O Willo Waly]. will get around to recording it one of these days.
