Action in Chesterton for a change (!) Experiments with setting up a marble race track occurred two days ago (below)…
Only to be quickly taken up and replaced by pipe that I had already moved into the area. Hmmm…
Centipede trying to move away from all the excitement.
The pipe runs along the western edge of Chesterton, just up the bank of the road. It’s not finished by any means. The railroad track may even come back. I’m just unfurling the whole new happening at a very gradual and hopefully natural pace. Each piece moved in, each position changed, leads to new consequences and strategies.
And even the toy avatars made an appearance on this day, posing below beside 5 straight pieces of the otherwise unused 027 gauge train track. A green golf ball appears in their midst on the track, harking back to the winning Greenilocks marble from last fall’s Bigfoot happening. There are other, familiar faces from that woodsy event, including the double to actor (and Warren Wilson alum) James Franco (red suited dude to right) and his biggest admirer, Ms. Orange Mmmmmm (to his right). Arms-in-air woman, another Bigfoot acting vet, now seems up in arms about the manifestation of a working bathtub and shower. “What the f?” she might utter here. The fronting cars are just happy to be pulled out of mothballs.
The anthropomorphic, purple ant being named Stonie — another participant in the fall happening — is looking around for those of her kind on her mother’s side. None spotted. Her father could have been human. How did that work? A newcomer to toy avatar acting is the wrestler simply known as The Mexican to her right below, who holds some kind of bendy, multi-colored pipe in his arms. Is he attempting to create a model of Chesterton’s road system? More on this soon.
