We are all looking at the reality of at least a year of switching our priorities to something closer to survival mode. Being concerned with high art or what esoteric or decorative piece would go well on a given wall will be taking a back seat for a while. No harm in that, unless you happen to be making your living from those less basic pursuits.<br />

I know I can always switch over to making shelving for all those household pantries that will want to be built in the years to come. Of course we are now looking for ways to be productive at home and lord knows I have a long list of things that need tending to. And how do we keep our spending down? This is fast becoming very real for us all.<br />

Fortunately we are moving out of heating season (and maybe into the hunting season) so utilities should be less. Outdoors is where we want to be, not hiding indoors. Fortunately I can do that with little worry. Find a way that you can too.<br />

NARROW AND DEEP<br />
<br />
I read this line in a New Yorker article by Nick Paumgarten this morning and was completely stopped by it:<br />
<br />
"In the elements, performing tasks, the climbers achieve a narrowness of focus - a lizard-brain braid of adrenaline, expertise, and choice - that becomes a demented kind of meditation: Zen on ice.<br />
<br />
This wonderful sentence put a chill of recognition down my spine. One of my earliest bush-soul connections was with a blue belly lizard - hyper aware and really fast. I have always preached that to do anything well you have to go narrow and deep and Nick just put narrowness and lizard-brain together in a way that made complete sense to me.<br />
<br />
I was also an avid amatuer climber way back when. I completely understand the necessary narrowness of focus he is talking about. Climbing with your nose a few inches from the granite wall, you keep your focus very narrow. Your world does not extend beyond the reach of your limbs and where the next move will be.<br />
<br />
I had not thought of the lizard brain literally, but of course, narrowness of focus certainly can be about survival focus and turning off the higher functions. Focusing on nothing else when your entire body knows you have to be in that moment completely.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I never reached the level of expert in free climbing exposed rock faces. I have reached some kind of expertise in assembling visually cohesive compositions, and this process is not so much about using my lizard brain. Going narrow and deep in the creative process still very much applies though. And, like meditation, that is a learned skill that can take a life time.<br />
<br />
Here's to narrow and deep in Utah.<br />

I have been seeing this way for so long that my eye yanks my camera and demands that I take a picture. Looking through the camera, I scan for the cleanest, most perfect arrangement. Many of us call this 'art' -- and many don't, I think for similar reasons. It's art because it's clean and perfect, it's inferior art because it's clean and perfect. That's your choice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I often find a mostly green picture to be somewhat boring as I later look at it on the screen. Is this just subjective on my part? When I desaturate the image and push it towards black and white, the pattern often becomes much clearer, and this makes the picture visually more interesting to me. Maybe our brain does this on some unconscious level, reducing all that green information to a pattern that gives us more useful survival information.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our digital cameras have been built to be biased towards gathering light in the green part of the visible spectrum as have our eyes evolved to differentiate more finely in this same green part of the spectrum. Was this evolution, helping us to find the threat among the leaves? Anyway, I think this evolutionary advantage naturally draws me into the scene around me. </span><br />

These files are also now huge so one gets lost in the detail -- getting lost, not such a good survival mechanism. So a straight forward framing of what is there works just fine.</span></div>

<br />Peter Kitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05895822246582528793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115208119221819227.post-76843187613271499192019-07-17T05:56:00.000-07:002019-07-17T06:13:05.983-07:00Live And Let Live<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The brand new New England, of course, had nothing to do with Old England; back when my ancestors arrived here, that is. As some of the early English colonist limited to their tiny ocean side settlements, they hadn't a clue as to how the people already here had been living so deeply integrated with their surroundings. This "new" land had been comfortably populated for at least 12,000 years at that point. It is believed that the people who had been living here probably had not lived in closed structures with animals as my English ancestors had.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The diseases that came with my ancestors to these new shores wiped out most of the people here who had long since settled into there own balanced way of co-existing with the world arround them. This was long after many large species had been wiped out by coming into contact with these same people as they spread out across the continent and began inhabiting the North East part of our country. Millenia of people shaping these lightly tended forest and fields through burning and light agriculture created a landscape I would love to have been able to have seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I arrived here in the 80's (that is the 1980's) and talked to the local farmers who remembered when these hills were bare and stripped of their "natural" tree cover. I was shown photographs of huge stone lime kilns fueled by charcoal, massive log jams on the Connecticut River, and farm houses surrounded by bare fields. So the stone walls that I had found running through my woods made sense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Come summer time,</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> our woods, comprised mostly of trees a hundred years young or younger, are producing a lot of oxygen because of that young age. They are largely healthy. Fortunately, acid rain is not as much of a problem for the trees as it used to be 20 years ago. But now I am seeing mature ash and hemlock dying as I survey my land. It is felt that this has to do with climate change and moving insect populations. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the woods, I work to open my understory, to clear out vines and thorny underbrush, to clear out the scrappy stuff, by taking maybe half of what is there down as fire wood and wood that gets milled. Working in the woods, I am motivated by open site lines and better movement through the woods as much as by good forestry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So It seems, I own and manage some acres of carbon sink, if one looks at it that way. Does this make up for my modern life style of consume, consume, consume? I think not. Who do those woods really belong to? I know I am only a visitor. What I "clean up" in the woods is soon after heading back to natures default. No way could I ever keep up with my vision, especially as I am closing in on 70.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This old farm land is now some of the best "natural" land in New England. It has been left alone or lightly tended for many generations and reached it's own kind of teen maturity. I believe in "take a little, leave a lot" - the old way of living in consideration of others and sharing, harvesting and maintaining year by year. Even if I don't always live by that rule.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This blog entry pays respect to local land allowed to just exist and be left mostly alone, but still somewhat tended. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am lucky to be able to live in a part of the world where this is still possible.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am starting a series of blogs here on how nature is changing due to our interference in the natural systems of this planet. I have followed climate change and population pressures on the delicately balanced ecosytems that make up the living skin of our planet for a long time. We are now heading into a very different world, one that will change more and more rapidly. A major extinction has already begun, but I will not focus on that. The landscape is my focus and what we are doing to it. There is always beauty out there, even if it is a scary kind of beautiful. </span></div>

I recently suffered a loss of many years of original photo files in a multiple drive failure. 2 backups and the original. A freak event, but I have now set about revisiting some places I photographed many years ago. Back to Puerto Rico for a week, to El Yunque in the east and across the island to Rincon in the west.<br />
<br />
It is strange to revisit the site of a photo I have used often enough to have it etched in my brain. Pristine doors now covered in grafiti, old nuclear reactors with a fresh coat of paint, and a real rain forest right here in the USA - it's a national park.<br />
<br />
A selection from this last trip follows.<br />

I did lighting, art, Bar, and tables, and a woven drop ceiling. This blog covers the bartop construction and tables that went with it. These are mostly taken in my Buckland shop. The project took place late 2015 through early 2016.<br />

Fall, winter, summer, it has much to offer and revisit.<br />

These pieces were made to be built in so they had to be torn out, thankfully with their frames pretty much intact.<br />

As they were, they seemed heavy, in color and in weight. So I cut the panels apart because I did not like how the canvas started behaving on the crease of the accordion fold. With an inch or so image gone between panels, I ended up with a picket fence kind of look. This was mostly a woodworking project. I had to figure out how to make exact cuts for the frame zig-zag, while keeping the whole thing as light as possible in feel, yet strong enough to stand up to the never ending stream of people coming through and touching out of curiosity.<br />

These panels won't ever hang perfectly flat without their containing frame and I had to come to peace with that and also with the loose alignment and fabric feel. However, I am pleased that the hospital staff valued the work enough to suggest that we take the time and effort to repurpose it. This is infinitely better than letting it go, which happens so often. Now it will join other pieces of mine in the D'Ario Cancer Center, on the Springfield Baystate campus as well.<br />

...........Just thought I would throw some images at you from the last few months with short explanations as to what they are. There is a minimum of photoshop manipulation in most of these. Some are right out of Lightroom. Things have been very disjointed this year and this imagery seems to reflect that, I guess. None of this material is for a client; shooting for myself here. If you want to see more on any of these sets please let me know. pk</div>

While we were staying at some friends apartment in midtown New York,<br />
I found this view around the corner from their balcony.<br />
Holding the camera around the corner against the wall, I managed to get this shot.<br />
This seemed to be a very New York scene with the Empire State and such a typical roofscape.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> This week I have returned to painting. It feels good. It's been a while. These images are tighter than usual. They are inspired by a small gem of an oil painting at the Wadsworth Athenium in Hartford. Not directly from Klee but indirectly I am sure.My image making process requires fresh painted backgrounds just as it requires new photographs from my travels. Inspiration comes and we shift gears.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In this blog, I am focusing on a part of the picture making process that I have not shown before, starting with the collage techniques I have been using since long before digital possibilities opened up. It begins with the unforgiving world of moving real paint around and ends up with the infinitely adjustable world of photoshop.Over the years, I’ve accumulated a vast library of these background paintings, as I call them. They become textural layers or stand alone sections within the finished digital collages. This library of painted imagery goes way back. It started in 2000, after returning from a trip to Japan, making digital collages from photos taken while traveling. These were made with an early Mac laptop and Fuji Pro digital camera. Seems like ancient history.</span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The daffodils are blooming here and some projects are finalizing while other are starting...I have been working over the last year on a project for <a href="http://builtbest.org/baystate-medical-center-unveils-hospital-future,-project-built-100%25-union-under-pla" target="_blank">Baystate Medical Center's new wing </a>in Springfield MA. and it's finally coming towards completion! This project has been unique for me as many of my source images for my collages have been converted onto etched glass to create more of a decorative feeling within the architecture of the hospital. I had the pleasure of not only working with Deb Avery and Carla Santia, the design team for Baystate but also with artist <a href="http://www.suzannetick.com/" target="_blank">Suzanne Tick</a> and Raquel Barrios of <a href="http://www.suzannetick.com/" target="_blank">Suzanne Tick Inc</a>. who designed the glass panels. It was a project intended to transcend current thinking of what is appropriate art when renovating Health Facilities.Using locally derived nature imagery in new ways can be challenging as we did not want to use similar imagery of what has been used in other nearby hospitals. Here are a few source images for the glass panels before etching and then some of the installation shots after... Can you see some of the original photos in the etched glass?</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

However, we are enjoying how the backlighting of a lamp shade, whether it be 6 feet tall or 1 foot tall, greatly enriches the art. The soft warm glow of the smooth fabric we are printing on is very seductive. So we are making many lamps of all sizes and most of the show could turn out to be a very large marble walled room full of hanging lights. Right now I love this idea. Many lamps still to go...<br />

This project is a cross between an art exhibit and a home furnishing showroom. My vision is to apply patterns in an architectural way for interiors and products. In addition to the cloth wall hangings, I will be building furniture and creating lighting for our upcoming show at the <a href="http://www.thepushkin.com/">Pushkin Gallery</a> in <a href="http://www.city-data.com/city/Greenfield-Massachusetts.html">Greenfield MA</a> on October 21st 2011. While I see my work geared more commercially, Gayle's vision is more directed toward home decor and clothing. As a result. I'm looking forward to seeing how our styles compliment and play off each other. <br />
Here are some of the patterns that I am currently working on... <br />

</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Back home now and searching through my images from that trip, trying to put together new collages using this material, I seem drawn again to the most quiet of these images. </div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Time did stretch out for me often, while wandering the pine forest and island beaches miles long, or coasting on glassy estuary inlets. I wrote before of that evening the Gulf waters were so smooth that you could see a fish jump thousands of feet away. I stayed up late that night to photograph the reflection of the stars on the ocean surface. How often does that chance come along? </div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Later in the trip I photographed the stars through the forest overstory, first lit by my lights artificially, then a camp fire and finally by just the coals of the dying fire.</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Another evening I set up early to photograph the full moon rise over the ocean and driftwood oaks. As the sand fleas drove me bonkers and the tide roared in I had to move my equipment and lights up the beach until each branch of a close by driftwood tree held me, my tripod, my lights, and the backpack. After the moon had risen, luckily there was enough moonlight to climb back down out of the tree and through the waves.</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Sitting in my kayak offshore watching nesting osprey hassled by eagles who would rather steal than hunt, I thought about how nice it was to be out of reach from those who take my catch.</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">In the center of a small town, Apalachicola, there lies a Victorian graveyard, already dry and dusty in early spring. I'm taken by the wrought iron fencing, coming from the stone fences of New England.</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">These are some of the experiences that directed the images in this series of collages called simply "Stillness".</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">How often do we get to play in a warm gentle unspoiled outdoors, doing something that leads us to a place, a stillness, where we are simply taking in the wonder of the bits and pieces of what is all around us?</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 17.0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font: 14.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">I notice that over and over I keep walking into my picture, moving slowly with the camera eye till I compose a picture. Take it, then walk into it. My focus so singular I could not go anywhere else. </div></span><br />

A company whose mission is all about recognition.What fascinated me the most was the foundry. This foundry has been in operation, I believe, for over 120 years. Lots of old wooden drawers, master carvings and castings. They do everything from class rings to airline wings and medals that commemorate flights to the International Space Station. I'm honored to have been commissioned to photograph here by Gridiron and JSO Art Associates. Janet Schwartz O'Leary, an art consultant based out of Ct, and I have been working on a series that represents the companies of GridIron. As a result, some of these shots will end up in two collages for GridIron's corporate office space. Thanks to everyone at Tharpe Robbins and especially to Joe for a wonderful tour of the foundry <br />
