MESH
CONSTELLATIONS/FRAGMENTS/FRAMES
where algae meets bright white of future, is blurred. = algae
​
some delicate lines. Brown ceiling and floor, future space empty with faint small yellow = January 2024
​
black-brown, no cross. great form, even a gap and a curve = wood
​
brown mostly verticals, some horizontals reading upwards from left to right, the rest blank.= city
lichen= nature imitating art, again. brush marks of striations horizontal yellow-orange brown. yet the lichen was pale blue-green. Dies are often different to the originals. Lik-en as in like-en give me a break.
​
daffodil= Almost too bright to look at. Her self. A very ordinary house in Findon Valley with very ordinary furniture. She stood. Transfigured. Now I'm 63 the numbers are important. 2 came back evidently. I won't read the book. I won't see the 2 museums of horrors in Vilnius. I stamp my foot. First class.
sea coal= dark so dark brown almost black. But there was a nice conversation how her dad used to find it on the beach, wrap it in paper and burn it for warmth.
sea weed= the canvas board from China is slightly deformed. but it looks like white skyscrapers and coming down incredibly delicate strands of eastern greenery.
​
stone= stone will never be the same since I saw that pornography. Damn the makers, not the actors. Damn those who support it.
sand= lovely orange brown. a bit of a worm or snake poking his head up.
algae= blinded by the green into the present. not the last I did. not either algie met a bear. nor angie. sorry a million sorries though that will never do.
mud on water= Crikey what a mess. Don't even look on the other side. But I did. No. It's not mud on water its incredibly interesting and complex to say the least. Saying the least.
Form of Bamboo= obviously not reified. Anything goes. Unskill. Actually personal.
Moss= moss grows fast on a rolling stone. striations.
Form of Flowers= Plato's form. not. I bought them. Let alone the flour and flower conundrum. Goddamn language.
​
Form of Ivy= I.V. as in I.V. embodied. throat flabby vocal chords. poisonous or is it?
War Effort= WELL. it doesn't look too controlled.
August= looks a bit of a mess and sombre for august. but August as in Augustus emperor. August presence, horse/head bowed.
September 2022= little did I know. The brown, the shit to face. as they say. I mean life's difficulties. but look, some thin brown/white lines (David Bowie) rocketing skywards.
​
September 2023= like an earth ball, a fire ball, from the left. with bits stuck on it. needs to be in the middle. not left or right.
Sycamore= not strong enough, too pale. I hope it shows OK on the screen. should have gone on longer. but still, subtle nature, quiet, as per usual. too quiet. not loud enough or strong enough to survive.
Cezanne's tree= smoke ash farts bark scraping noise traffic. nerves.
Badger Tree = one two three four 2 parallelograms. a nice line. a headache. a runny nose. its the cleaning fluid. when I shut my eyes I see Al Jazeera's bombed flats. People were living there. I hate
Father tree= there's my thumb. There's my dads left toe. He had his toe cut off and died of cancers. 18 to 88.
War tree = edible? No I don't think so. what's for tea? for tea to eat. not T (ed- crossed out T). make my own categories thank you.
grandma tree = looks a bit jolly-two-and one as in od g/od. The deep significance as in sign- of one breast at a time.
Homes tree= it could be worse- my council flat. thankful for a floor, ceiling and walls intact. desperate people destroying other peoples homes I guess,- evil states of minds.
Lois tree=
I told him to urinate on the daffodils.
Now my world is full of flowers
​
I was vulnerable in friendship.
Now I am a friend to humanity
​
I suggested he wait for rain
Now only gentle rain falls on me
Orifice tree= OK Mrs Angry. Now you can see its all in the past.
Kite tree= the bird has flown. its all in the mind now
