Flax Almost Blooming
#104 Flax_Almost_Blooming2a
I am doing a variety of styles, but there is also a recurring style and within the 1000 this is one I’d like to grasp more fully. A sort of old fashioned naturalist style, but there is room to go beyond that too, to bring in my handwriting as it were.
There is also something about looking at native plants that is of interest to me. I initially thought – this is in cyberspace! But undeniably I am in New Zealand, and more than that I have a feeling for the place. So, a few more flax items coming up!

I was on Plains FM with Ronn 10 October 06, MP3.
Trade Me Auction
I am exploring all this. When these actions close I’ll stop them all for a while as we approach the Launch on 3 November – I think that will give me a better idea on the whole “conversation with the market”.
A bunch of interesting drawings

Stuff by a lot of the famous – an inspiration to browse. Here is one of Andy Warhol’s dogs.
“Surrender to the flame”
My friend Eileen’s response to the story of my project. Thanks Eileen!
Right now the flame is a glow, re-kindling after days of intense focus on my psychotherapy work with the NZAP council.
I have some air-port sketches. (I posted them already)
What does this flame want? Ideas flood in about the whole rather than the sketches. I am sure that online auctions & the market, are integral, not just a business add on. It began with the “sponsored links” on the sketch pages. There a desire, but also a wish to suppress. My way out of that tension – as I have already mentioned here – is Hermes. The very same impulse to crate a hermetic vessel, brings with it the notion of gold and trade, as Hermes is the God of trade… that is how it is in cyberspace.
Art is investment, it is trade, Hermes the trickster has a hand in it.
Make something out of nothing.
I think auctions are right! It is “what it wants to be” it may be me that is holding back, it hard for me to embrace. There is also a learning curve to auctions – and it is a bit much right now.
Khan’s platonism again of course. Here is a quote on the nature of the nature of things.

With homage to Duchamp as well.
