Carmina Gadelica Labyrinth
A labyrinthine prayer from Carmina Gadelica
“…Carmina Gadelica is a compendium of prayers, hymns, charms, incantations, blessings, literary-folkloric poems and songs, proverbs, lexical items, historical anecdotes, natural history observations, and miscellaneous lore gathered in the Gaelic-speaking regions of Scotland between 1860 and 1909. The material was recorded, translated, and reworked by the exciseman and folklorist Alexander Carmichael (1832–1912).…”

48HFP – The 48 Hour Film Project
My hands had a small cameo in a film where I drew the Cameo Theater, which was the theater in which audiences saw the film’s debut. A cameo of the Cameo in the Cameo.

Salt
Three years ago, I invited a group of retreat participants to join me in a collaborative art-making project. Complicating matters — this was done with no verbal instruction: we were participating in a contemplative retreat led by Mary Earle, and had taken vows of silence for the day. It ended up being a sublime afternoon full of non-verbal communication and beauty. Here’s a short film I made of it all.
On September 22, 2012, at a contemplative retreat in the Texas hill country, a group of new friends spent 24 hours together in silence. The Salt Project was a simple afternoon invitation to collaborate artistically without rules, instruction or speech, inspired in part by Motoi Yamamoto’s Saltworks. Interested participants arrived at a gazebo and found a few squeeze-bottles full of salt, seasoned salt, coffee, and yellow corn starch — along with some brushes and yardsticks. The three-hour process was filmed with two iPhone cameras. Special thanks to the kitchen staff at Laity Lodge for adding serendipitous color to what was originally conceived as a monochrome project. — p.r.s. 8/22/12

Ink
[x_video_embed no_container=”true”] [/x_video_embed]
I’m working on a new tattoo design (not shown here), but it led me to go find these old ones and post them. The weird thing about art for bodies: sometimes the artist does a great job; sometimes they butcher it; sometimes the recipient decides not to get it inked, and the art quietly goes away. This first one here, I’m really impressed by the fidelity of the artist.
It also has a great story behind it. Read it here at Jake Bouma’s blog.
