the rock tripe, or lichen represent age (? date)

 to me, the rock tripe, or lichen represent age.


I see blooms of age, and I think about the history that has passed since then, and that it was there. a piece of that.

laurentide notes

with the striations, one idea, is to capture ‘the wave’ of the flow.  I can frame it to show the wave too. the amplitude. probably not the frequency, although that could be inferred.

I wold like the ‘statement’ or the  element, or the theme of striation. So when I’m putting them together,

Laurentide calf

https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/the-kettle-holes-of-new-england/
Kettle holes came about with the retreat of the Laurentide ice sheet, which covered much of Canada and the northern United States. The icebergs it left behind got covered with sediment until they melted.
Kettle holes dimple the landscape south of the Great Lakes, Adirondacks and New England mountains. They then end around the 37th parallel along the southern borders of Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia. Thorson calls them a “blue galaxy” within 19 “kettle states.”


Striations, or Striae

Glacial striations or striae are scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion.
Large amounts of coarse gravel and boulders carried along underneath the glacier provide the abrasive power to cut trough-like glacial grooves. Finer sediments also in the base of the moving glacier further scour and polish the bedrock surface, forming a glacial pavement. Ice itself is not a hard enough material to change the shape of rock but because the ice has rock embedded in the basal surface it can effectively abrade the bedrock.

So as I see it, this glacier moved along this way, toward that valley, where it became trapped, and the parent glacier’s meltwater built sediment around it, where it became submerged, and further melted into the pond behind the garage, which has a bowl beneath where the water from this glacier feeds.  it s kettle pond, a place of legend.
thoreau’s walden pond is a kettle pond, 100 ft deep.

cyanotypes, fairies, miniatures

 

 I wrote in my journal that I could use cyanotypes to create the 'fairies' in the collages.  The quand meme series particularly.  As I understand that series, as well as la fenetre, or the looking glass subseries with 'liebling' and 'mogador' there seems to be a road theme, as there is in all my work, and I've been thinking of ways to express this, such as using light reflected from the pavement, isolating it as a shape in the crystal of the quand meme.

the fairy is something I've been developing.   the print made by natural light maybe better than I can get

 

Also, what about making the images miniature?  3x5.  It places an emphasis on clarity.  It brings the shadow and depth work to the foreground.  the 'fairies' would look more like fairies too.

Also been thinking about some infrared

inventory, proportions

 I'll have to make a full inventory of the pictures I have, how many, whether they are framed, what needs to be made.  I'll also have to go through the site, and see if there, -or where are the image and product changes that need to be made, because the picture has changed. I also  have to get the new information about sizing.  I'm not too happy with large size, over 13x19.  I have to make sure the products are inline with their realistic proportions.  Maybe talk with the dudes at the lab.  The size indicators seem to indicate that I can go much larger.
