| Trying to draw out a fun and didactic landscape which is abstracted from the process of combustion - as a function of fuel, wind, topography, moisture, ignition. |

If music is at all an indication of the times, well, here we are.
We're in a mental age
of manipulated ether.
It's all in your head
success and sickness.
A real digital tradition
for a new mental code
suspended in commercial clouds.

Environmental Design Library
LIBRARY Research
One of the things I will miss most upon graduation from this institution is access to the library. Imagined moments, reveries, and neural pathways, owed to this library.
Excerpts from my search today -
"From the candle to the lamp there is for the flame something like a conquest of wisdom. The flame of a lamp, thanks to man's ingenuity, is now disciplined. It is given over completely to its task, both simple and lofty, as giver of light... this humanized flame."
from The Flame of a Candle by Gaston Bachelard (1961)
"Why is it that the people who live in the city aren't trusted? Fire is primal for warmth, cooking, and ambient and focal glow. The steel drum has outgrown the backyard barbecue in these parts; on its side or stood on end, a blaze can be set and the smoking started."
from Urban Diaries by Walter Hood (1997)
"In warning against the studying of matter as an object (as in the scientific experiment), Bachelard insisted instead on the development of a deeply sensual knowledge of the world, from how one lives or experiences it."
from James Corner's Ecology and Landscape as Agents of Creativity (1997) via Projective Ecologies edited by Chris Reed and Nina-Maria Lister (2014)
"The artist must come out of the isolation of galleries and museums and provide a concrete consciousness for the present as it really exists, and not simply present abstractions or utopias... we should begin with an art education based on relationships to specific sites. How we see things and places is not a secondary concern, but primary."
quote by Robert Smithson via LAND ART A Cultural Ecology Handbook edited by Max Andrews (2006)
"Art touches our souls because it comes from our souls."
from the Foreward by Stanley Tucci via New York's Underground Art Museum by Sandra Bloodworth and William Ayres (2014)
- today, where the apocalypse and two presidential candidates repeatedly came up in a single sentence, it's nice to have a library to take temporary refuge.
