layer up the time of day
in striated wave
light & shadow
Calm water with small parallel horizontal layers of incoming waves. Light is bright with part of the foreground split by shadow.

who knows how curlew
measures the arc-line of time?
ebb tides & edges?

#poetry #haiku #curlew #time
A solitary curlew with raised, curved beak walks across the foreshore at low tide. Sand and mud is peppered with dark clumps of rocks and seaweed.

out of water, elemental painting
#foundart
Detail of the hull of an abandoned small boat, out of water, slowly being eroded by the elements. The original painted layered surface, now an abstract painting in blue, red, black & white.

yet, a small stretch of the light

Flare of the setting sun, on the shortest day, over West Lothian. Dark water of the River Forth in the foreground. Final flare of the setting sun, on the shortest day.

arrival & departures: the tidal watcher welcomes the waves
A seaweed covered post at low tide resembles a black-cloaked standing figure watching the waves coming in to the harbour. Three smaller posts remain just above the waterline but will soon be submerged. Silt and tidewrack covered rocks are in the foreground.

Detail from Barry Le Va ‘In a State of Flux’ exhibition at Fruitmarket, Edinburgh.
Four sheets of shattered glass, topped with one whole sheet on the gallery floor. The outcome of a series of actions creating a web of lines in the altered material. Piece is called ‘On Center Shatter-or-Shatterscatter (Within the Series of Layered Pattern Acts), 1968-71’.

Dark ambient afternoon, tar water, light rain, worn as mist. A fracture of light heralds the arc, the spill over, the dissolve to come.
Tar-like choppy water of the Firth of Forth with dark rain clouds above. An arc of white light is breaking through.

Interesting to see the poster for the original exhibition in 1984 in the programme notes.

A fitting end to Deep Time: Basquiat & Cage 84.24 last night with an explosive performance by The Rolling Calf & an improvised, manipulated conversation between Basquiat & Cage from turntablist NikNak. In addition to Counterflows & Tectonics, a great addition to new music in Scotland.

pipe dream of the contemplative corvid awaiting snow
Crow sitting on a sea wall, looking out over the River Forth. West Lothian is partly snow covered on the other side. A large pipe extends over the beach into the river and disappears under water.
