Our Editor Responds: We’re returning to the theme of Secret Gardens that started on our first blog Palm Axis. In addition to “Secret Gardens” we will also be introducing “the Feral and the Concrete”
The first Installment of the series is dedicated to friends Mary and Sheila
“As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world”
I like the figures in the clouds and wonder what it all signifies. I think they look very bright Margaret, almost as it freshly painted. Nice video with the leaves crunching underfoot. Lets release all garden sculptures to range freely! Wouldn’t it be cool to wake up with something different in your yard each day? That could be a business start up. A subscription service for yard sculptures changing each week or month.

PA,
I know, I feel that way about young artists but I”m thrilled when they are given a chance to shine in my hometown. She was delightful to meet and I hope we can stay in touch. I ‘ve met so many talented people through my blog. I love getting to feature them with their art. I have another one I”m meeting next week. YES!!!!

I like the flower things – I kept waiting for the water to start shooting up. We had a turtle sprinkler once that looked like that, but more turtle like of course.
Really bizzare find. A really good one too.
Mind, Body, and Soul. Without all three together there is no Creative Art. Instead of unity, there is a separation, a slivering of art into tiny ideas, into commodities for sale. Into meaningless materialism. Into illustrations of vanity.
We are One with the ancients. That is Creative Arts Purpose, to unifty, bind, exhalt Humanity, not the individual. To give that person meaning, that he is more.
Today they are seperated into three parts, the easier to teach, and charge for mediocre services.
1:Witty ideas, clever self-absorbtion, conceptual absurdities based on ones own enormous sense of self worth, and entitlement 2:Also Decoration, clever patterns, sold as creative art, but truly just wallpaper, making the room an ambiance, to put the owner at ease, or stroke his ego. 3:Self expressive doodles, therapy, where the individuals immature conception of his own inflated importance bans any thought of others, of god. man, or nature
Like the Buddha says “The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood”. Derail the child’s play favored by academia. We are at war with current scnhool of thin,kng. Prepare for battle. Let words be our weapon.
I was going to suggest you make for Birmingham, maybe you and Mr V could create a whole new niche there. Just for a few months, think of it as a sojourn. Virg would introduce you to everyone.
When I saw your new avatar I was reminded that I used a many-petaled lotus with an emerging baby’s head in the center for my focal point when I was in labor with my son. I colored each layer of petals a different color and I think the nurses in that little town thought I was not to be trusted. They seemed uncomfortable with me after they saw that. I still love the memory of it, it was perfect.

Feral garden. I like that. And free range garden sculptures.
This is so great. There is a Neal Gaiman-esque children’s story in here somewhere.
Love the cool lotus flowers. I think you need some in your garden.
I must be dreaming…
Oh dear, this reminds me of a nightmare I had when I was five years old. No wonder I couldn’t run away.
They’re looking awfully pale, the poor things. The feral life is hard, indeed.
One of the statues looks like she could be a refugee from Margaret’s blog.

Orchard? I’m intrigued. Are you stringing us along towards the big reveal?

Cal Arts delenda est
what an amazing find! I love the feral/abandoned garden theme, this one makes me very curious indeed…

You made me happy with this post
Love how you use “feral.”
What a strange place. Glad you foiled a theft.
I thought about your question of why the Tiberias antiquities are not taken care of and wrote you my impression of the situation. Good question.
