The moss, copper, pearls and sand are an interactive assemblage called
Brothers and Sisters of the Island inviting the Earth Day Art Show audience to "play in the garden." It includes a field of green silk, a copper bowl set to the side with materials from nature, and a tiny woven copper rake for Zen-garden-like design.
During its previous appearance, the assemblage evolved over the course of Goddard College's "Considered Spaces" exhibit - with the theme of liminal space. This was created as a segue piece between the themes of liminal spaces and people, place and practice. People not only played and re-arranged, but brought objects from Nature, such as feathers, a bee, a carrot, and an orange peel that dried into an angel silhouette. The invitation to play motivated others to add to the offerings and to expand the composition. We'll see what happens during Earth Day 2008!
The trail is a lovely path through the Chinook lands of the Whidbey Institute. I find beauty and deep teaching here.
Another dream image - painted first, written about next. The most striking objects were the glowing forms growing out of the land among the greening fields. The filaments of gold were similar to ones in a dream I had eight years ago, where everything was just vibrating with these threads. A voice from an unseen source said, "Step through." Now there is new life being born across the land within the circles of the golden threads. It gives me pause..........
