“Contraption”

“Contraption”

“So I made this new collage while we were interpreting “2989”, Hucka D. And it contains the lone lego creation left *out* of the latter, substituted by the green man removing his head in front of the second easel.”

Hucka D.:

It’s the first, but go ahead.

bb:

The Green Man mirrors The Emerald (green grass top of land between Little Whitehead and Whitehead Streams)…

Hucka D.:

Go ahead and show the base photograph [for “2989”].

—–

bb:

Well, I can’t find it Hucka D. A mystery in itself?

Hucka D.:

The Green Man represents The Emerald, the grassy patch atop the plateau between Whitehead and Little Whitehead. How about Rock?

bb:

Oh… yeah. Here’s The Emerald. Full bloom.

Hucka D.:

That’s looking from the opposite direction as [the base photo for] “2989”. Now this gap in the collage where you can see The Emerald is interesting, because you first had The Contraption there, per the overall paste, then you removed The Contraption so you could see The Emerald better in this gap, and then you put a miniature version of your Falmouth Gallery structure there, removed that, and then put the Maine painter, removed her, then inserted the Green Man, who had already appeared in several Stonethwaite collages, the last one — “Cover Up” I believe — related directly to the green algae of an English Lake District tarn.

bb:

Tarn of Leaves, yes.

Hucka D.:

So it was logical to include the man here as well to represent The Emerald. This is his ultimate destination, actually. He *is* The Emerald now.

bb:

Is it Edwardston?

Hucka D.:

Could be. Anyway, that’s the story of the gap[ in “2989”] and why The Contraption isn’t there. That’s the history.

“Green Man is again accompanied by Gray Man, Hucka D. Just like in “Forgotten Green” and “Cover Up”, the 2 other places he appears in the Falmouth collage series so far. Gray is lack of color. But of course there’s also Gray Rock nearby with its topping Seal Stone.

Hucka D.:

Two things placed one on top of the other, like the Green Man’s head and body or torso.

bb:

Back to “2989”… The picture represents the crossroads, and Whitehead Crossing. But through another recent collage, we understand that The Crossroads is at Big Log, perhaps marked by nearby Orange Hill. In the collage I speak of — “Jasper 04 Revisited” — a rock shaped like a tombstone with an etched in cross is placed atop this hill. It appears just below the middle of Big Log, where Pooh left his honey for 4 Sticks guy in another, smaller collage.

Hucka D.:

That collage [will be discussed next], so go ahead and put up a pic.

bb:

That’s part 2 of the 2 part animation.

Hucka D.:

Why does Pooh leave this gift for 4 Sticks? He knocks but no one is home in the village. The Pooh gift sits atop a prominent hump of the log. (pause) The number 2989 appears below Pooh’s wagon with the honey. As this animation collage comes directly after the collage called “2989” with this same wagon appearing, among many other lego built objects, we know this is a continuation of some sort. But also keep in mind if you will that the Big Log collage here was created *last* year — it’s really the first Whitehead Crossing collage, then. Big Log is the entrance to 4 Sticks. 4 Sticks does not rule Edward’s Stone or The Emerald or Little Whitehead. That’s off limits.

bb:

How come?

Hucka D.:

We, the bees, had something to do with it. Originally, we were set up in a hole nearby — where the spout is now. The rocks of the spring there now cover the hole for protection. We suspect Uncle Zoe and Aunt Joe were involved[ again].

bb:

So your people were originally set up right next to Little Whitehead. Quite fascinating.

Hucka D.:

Indeed. The Emerald was off limits for building, but a special kind of structure — atomic building block — was created to safely build there. Kind of like Karoz[ for Gene Fade].

bb:

It was a kind of virtual reality.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Now look at “2989” in this new light, with this new knowledge.

bb:

Pooh, rejected by 4 Sticks, must have come to The Emerald to make his new home.

Hucka D.:

He provided the honey to our bees.
