Trees, Amber, Cracks, Contrails and Scans

Five new processes which work around my blocks (No symbols or metaphors).

1.  Creating withTree rings as a physical index of time, weather and industry From Tree rings in new growth: tree(a) linked in a forest to the matched rings of an older tree(b).  Then,regresses backward in time, matching the rings from tree(c) to tree (d) and backward until forest is exhausted of older trees, the (e) link is then traced back to logging activities of early New England:  furniture, housing timbers, exports back to England; and /or trees found in use by Native Americans.  Also re trees: to create new paths and trails based on these physical linkages of newer trees to older trees.

 

In the same regard, making new trails as indicated by tree genetics: how do trees within particular forests repopulate themselves, which trees are parent trees to younger trees, can tree lines be proven through tree's genetic code, can genetic code of trees in one forest be linked backed to progressively older world forests

 

2.  Creative works from Amber and inclusions as a physical index of time, weather, genetics, botany, geology and world bio-systems, habitats and eco-systems

 

 

 

 

3.  Creative works based on cracks as physical memory of time and index of disruptive forces:

From Cracks, to cracks in cement, to cracks in sidewalks, to cracks in the foundations of houses, in walls, in ceilings and roofs; to cracks we peer into (chics emerging from eggs, cracks in fences, cracks in a wall to spy with), to cracks as both positives and negative spaces, to cracks that observe us, to cracks in a psyche, to cracks in collective psyche, to cracks in reality, to cracks in time / place

 

4.  Photos or other visual memories (non-permanent) of physical movement indexed: contrails, waves / wakes from shipping lanes, steam / exhaust from trains, tracks of snowmobilers, ATVs and sleds in snow, snow shoe tracks, tracks of tires in mud, sneaker prints, animal prints in sand, snow and mud

 

 

 

5.  Brain scans as physical and visual index to memory and memory loss: Alzheimer’s, coma survivors, amnesiacs, forgetful people, scans of people with brilliant memory: musicians, savants, children's memory vs. elder memory, memory issues for women in hormonal change - pregnancy, menopause, hormonal replacement therapy
