Cutting of the Y

I was away at the time of the cutting of the Y. Jan took these shots for me. One just before the cutting, the other after the cutting.

Autumn

kare ichigo ware ichigo aki fukami kamo

he says a word
and I say a word - autumn
is deepening

Returning to Tomah

After time away I visit the large gauze

given over
the authorship
to the rain
the wind
it's fragility exposed
it's strength

Falling apart


Drawing around basalt

Round and round the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran





The basalt stairs cleaned, swept and neat. The wall drawn in gauze.
With the gauze what has been washed onto and off the steps I would like to record its distortion. Copy the pattern and translate it into another fibre. Possibly in PVC tube, which would catch the light.
