Gardening Universes

Gardening the Universe (2013) 24×16″ proof for giclee. Large piece.

Source is captured generative frames, so, by my definition Appropriated Random Kitsch. Then heavily processed in Photoshop–so much so, that you wouldn’t be able to see that the original frame is the same frame. The mostly black and white version of Mythic Figure (top) helps this figure pop out, but the experiment is aimed to ‘occult’ the figure. The second version may be finished.

I look forward to setting Gardening the Universe in an antique frame and mat I picked up for $10 at a rummage sale a few weeks ago. We made it to Spring, and the new house and its garden-in-potentia, and into the season of garage sales and pushing the reel lawn mower, and, all the poppin’ blossoms.

A Prayer in Spring

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil.
Robert Frost
