I prepared this material yesterday, it has an underground
meaning.
I get throwing a little sense of humor, but even that is
underground!
I decided not to post it out of respect for Martin Luther
King. I have a lot of respect for Dr. King, he was a flawed man but he was
truly a visionary one.
I find that most Americans don't follow civil rights much
now, that's unfortunate because some of the dynamics that Dr. King was
addressing still exist in this nation.
Most Americans don't realize that the civil rights
movement was quite dynamic in the late 50s and 1960s. Now if you know my age
you would know that I was only briefly alive in the 1950s but I do remember the
1960s. I remember when Malcolm X. died and I sure remember when Martin Luther
King was assassinated as well as the Kennedys, tragic, all very tragic.
One thing that most people don't realize, in my opinion,
is that this steam created by Dr. King was facilitated by a counter position
that Malcolm X had. At one time I did a great deal of study on both Dr. King
and Malcolm X. Over there course of their lives their message changed to a
degree. Some of the material that Malcolm X lectured on, as Ira called he did
some Harvard lectures, or something like that. There's a book in Denton Texas,
it's black, I checked it out and read his speeches. Sometimes he was incredibly
harsh and angry, very different than Dr. King's approach.
Another thing that isn't seen very often is Dr. King's
sense of humor concerning civil rights. Yes, he did have a sense of humor.
So I respect for the civil rights movement I chose to
remain silent yesterday.
Now I don't actually live where I'm currently staying,
many of you know that, when I'm here I often have very unusual thoughts and
dreams. That's another reason why I didn't want to post anything yesterday.
I had a bunch of amazing moments yesterday when I
realized what I was experiencing. You will also so see that calendars plays a
pretty big part in all of this. Last
night I made a bunch of movies, will collect the carpet movies basically
addressing some the things I needed to do.
I saw something, not too long ago, I was doing some basic
research and I found an image that can be redefined if I lectured on it. I felt
like I needed to lecture on it and I was preparing to do so. However things
have become stranger and stranger over time.
Let's break it down this way, yesterday was the 20th it
was a work day of sorts the words were invisible and drift. It was also a day
of vast processing in terms of what I was wanting to lecture you over. I
thought he could keep it simple and brief, when I prepare for lecture I do in
my head, I kind of talk it through.
The problem is I worked the material too much and then
the material started to explain itself to me and this compounded my problem.
I had a dream, that's another reason why I didn't want to
do this yesterday. I had the dream around the 16th or 17th of January. It was
very strange, lasting most of the night. It was also segmented. Here's what I
mean, I had a dream, I was a little brother and I was visiting my family and
helping my big brother with the project.
I then woke up and got myself a glass of water or a
pickle or perhaps both. I didn't think too much about the dream at that moment.
I went back to sleep and had another dream where I had a bunch of sisters. I
better stop right there. I had one sister, then I woke up and went to the
bathroom, went back to sleep and in the 3rd round of dreaming I realized I had
3 sisters, all younger than I was.
Now I had a big brother and I would have been the 2nd
born in the family. In a strange variation in one episode of the dream I have
another, younger brother. I'm not sure how to interpret that.
Here's what's rocksolid, this family comprised 2 males,
possibly a 3rd and 3 females with possibly a 4th. This is excluding mom and
dad. Now, I never saw my mom and dad in this dream, I know that in the dream
they are not my real-life parents. I know this because the family, that I was
visiting in New York, had some very odd dynamics.
How am I supposed to explain this? I better produces very
carefully, you would think that since it's a dream I would have license to just
tell you what it is. But this dream is very different.
So sometime between 1 AM and 2 AM in what would have been
the early morning of either the 17th or 18th, I had a dream, I was a
little brother, visiting my family in New York, we were all adults, and well if
I tell you more I'm going to be out on a limb.
I'm pretty sure I need to tell you people this dream. At
least some of the dynamics of it. Yesterday morning I was processing how I was
going to approach the telling of this dream and I was using circles. If you had
last night's movie or should I say set of movies, the carpet movies, you would
see me talking about circles and rings.
In fact I gathered some rings and put them on the porch
when I was photographing pens and appear amid and a piece of paper with a bunch
of Dean Koontz books on it.
You know now the time to load some images.
Image set number 1, this isn't really for the people around here, it's for the people who may pass through here. I call this the play no (Yes IC) nightmare image it was made from a screenshot on my computer. The dynamics associated with the problems here persist throughout this state. That's not to say you can't find some righteous connectivity and other parts of the state but for some reason the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex doesn't want freedom to be issued to people.
As I've told you, they want you to communicate using a stone slab, a chisel and a hammer.
Okay, that's what my big brothers doing in New York, he has a piece of marble, very unusual, it's gray marble would like markings through it. What would you call that, stride Asians, striations, all that you correct the other dynamics. Anyway it's a big thick slab of green marble. He's going to chisel some words in the marble and he's asked me to help them. Now, you people might not consider this to be our class but that form of sculpture is called reduction. You have something and with precision you reduce the amount of something and tell something artistic is pulled from the reduction. What my brothers doing isn't exactly what I would call shallow relief. But it would be a good thing to know what shallow relief is.
This is what is unusual about what my brothers doing, instead of reducing the marble and exposing the letters he's created a channel in the slab, a type of rectangular recess. He's taken another piece of green marble and had letters cut from this marble using a laser. He wants me to figure out the best adhesive to glue the green marble letters to the large green marble slab. I'm kind of upset with him because I don't think this is a good approach, he should have just worked this lab and figured the lettering out as he was creating this little recessed channel.
This is another odd thing, within this very long dream, the episodes lasted from say 1:30 AM all the way until I awoke which I guess was probably around 8:30 AM. The dreams stitched itself together. Very unusually, I figured out that I was dreaming and I figured out ways to manipulate certain aspects of the dream. Of course there were some things I wanted to do but I couldn't get the other dynamics or should I say people in the dream to go along with it.
So let's talk about the people. I do not know anyone in the dream although I have seen people that are very close to what the people in the dream looks like. All but one! My big brother is a real person, not one that I've ever met but one that I'm familiar with and one picture from you with as well. He plays Kramer on Seinfeld Show.
You know, the guy with big goofy hair.
This is odd, I started this document in a word processor and pasted it here and now the supplemental stuff is going directly into it. Once again I'm being distracted.
Anyway, my dream and all of the strange processing becomes even more twisted when you look at my artwork. My artwork kind of integrates itself in and out of my dream. Especially when it comes to circles rings.
