Category Archives: collages 2d

The finished, second part of the tetraptych, which I’ve named “Darth Redder”. Originally a 4 part animation, as of 5/26/15 it’s down to 2 parts now, on *par*, ahem, with the 3 other collages of the overall work.

(continued from)

“Just that close, Hucka D. The Ringling Bros. mansion and Newfoundland are only a couple of miles apart. Green Pond unites. Wee person Fin McBride was just a small 500 meter hike perhaps from the Midgetville we’ve been discussing when sitting with his friends at the house on this pond.”

And our friends are all on board
Many more of them live next door

But we must return to Collage 07. (pause) Hucka must have gone back to bed. So let me put up the first and last animation in the 4 part collage and I’ll just go from there.

Sam Parr Model makes a return visit to the Red Umbrella collages, here in her lean-y version as seen in Sam Parr 08. There she had the head of a fox — Redd Foxx to be more precise.

Her dark “gun”, which I assume is some sort of scarf, is there [intwined in] an outline of Sam Parr Lake in Sam Parr State Park of Jasper County, Illinois. But in the new collage she is unmasked for who she is. I am not frightened.

[10 minute pause to collect wits]

In the new collage, her head lies between 2 eyes from the same person, but from different time periods. This would be Winona Ryder. The right eye is from a 1991 Rolling Stone magazine cover with red headlines. The left eye is from a 1994 Rolling Stone cover with blue headlines. We do not yet know what is behind the head of Sam Parr here. But it has already been pictured on “Fathers” from the Embarras series: it’s a joined or third eye, created by overlapping the left eye of the 1991 cover with the right eye of the 1994 cover. This is synchronicity in itself. In “Fathers,” strolling Sherwood Anderson to the left, one of the “fathers” of the collage, wears this 3rd eye as a mask or a cover. Now we can say that this foreshadows the current collage, which is just as or probably more important in ways. And the same Midgetville house appears in the new collage, transferred from “Fathers” as well. And the 7 stone rock stacking also is transferred, along with the blue and red surrounding robots… and also Baker Bloch who stands apart, taking it all in. And Peter Gabriel appearing in the left window of the animation also has a source of sorts in “Fathers” through the row of presidents extending from Lincoln’s head down to the Midgetville house there. They all wear similar suits to Gabriel’s. He is All Presidents, Hucka D. might say here.

Now part of her is still covered up in the new collage. But it’s her legs and feet instead of her head. They are obscured by a crowd of hooded people who represent Little Whitehead — the negative aspect. They seem to be staring…

Baker B. appears in front of the group, waving. This is also a transposition from “Fathers”, where we still have the body of Baker B. but the head of Abraham Lincoln. Another Father in the picture like Sherwood Anderson. Like Homer Simpson in the background leaning against a house.

Kink Ray Davies appears to the left, opposite Baker B. and the Little Whitehead hooded group. Above him, in the window, appears Peter Gabriel, head down.

In the second part of the animation…

… Baker B. has move to the left side as he apparently continues to stroll across the front of the picture. He obscures Ray Davies now. Peter Gabriel, head down still, appears above. In the midst of the Little Whitehead group now extends that 7 stone stacking we mentioned before, with red and blue accompanying robots. Baker Bloch stands at the black shoed heel of Sam Parr Model. This is the Achilles heel reference again LINK. Heal and Heel should be associated.

In the 3rd part of Collage 07…

… we have the appearance of Winnie the Pooh holding his red umbrella to the right. I assume this is Baker B. again, having walked from the left side of the picture back to the right side. An educated guess. He stares down at a red and blue body we’ve also seen before in my collages. And the Little Whitehead group has disappeared now. We can also assume this reclining red and blue figure is the same as the group, with the link being the red and blue robots and the rock stacking between them. The red and blue figure is also created by the art group Little Whitehead. The group or gang have become one. Gang of Willard?

We can also say that the body has been “prepared”.

We have seen both Little Whitehead creations before in a Falmouth Collage called (checks) “Rescue Ship.”

“Rescue Ship”

We also have the same body in the more recent “Future Home” diptych, the collage created just prior to “Fathers”, actually. There the body seems to represent death itself, perhaps my own death in the future, when we move to Middletown and away from Blue Mountain. Or is it just the death of my existence in Blue Mountain? Anyway, that’s the past of the red-blue body. And Winnie the Pooh and his red umbrella actually lends itself to the name of the encompassing gallery, The Red Umbrella, that contains most of the collages we’ve been discussing minus one or two from the Falmouth collection. So let’s just move to the final part of Collage 07…

Here the 3rd eye of 1991/1994 Winona Ryder is exposed, as Sam Parr Model disappears from the picture. Or does she? Could she be the same as Dorothy, in her own white dress, that now hovers above and also obscured the red-blue body? And what of Winnie the Pooh, who has also disappeared along with his red umbrella? I think he has gone into the body (?).

In short, this is probably another Hierogamy moment, like with the earlier fusion of Baker Bloch and Baker Blinker in Collage 04. Peter Gabriel’s head is now up, and he’s staring directly at us. What does he know? Is his third eye opened? Ray Davies now appears on the other side of the small house’s front, looking toward Gabriel instead of being directly under him. Is this a point of objectivity now?

We perhaps have more questions than answers concerning this one. We better move to Collage 08. Stayed tuned!

So we’re just going to go ahead and move forward into an analysis of Collage 07, completed just yesterday and then polished up this morning. I’m trying to keep up with analysis this time, unlike with the last series from the first of this year (Embarras). And I’m doing it a bit different from the completed analysis of the Sam Parr series from last Fall, Hucka D., in that I seem to be interpreting as I go along this time, instead of waiting until the series is over.

Hucka D.:

Good to switch up. So here we’re in Midgetville. The collage, a 4 part animation it appears, is called “Midgetville” [itself]. And the base photo comes from a location called just that in New Jersey. Here’s a link LINK.

http://weirdnj.com/tag/midgetville/

bb:

And that’s the source of the photo I used in my “Midgetville”. And I’ve used another of those photos in an Embarras series collage, to go back to that [soon enough]. That one was called “Fathers”, I believe. (checks) Yes.

Back to the Midgetville article:

In 1913 circus mogul Alfred T. Ringling purchased nearly 1000 acres of land in this section of Jefferson Township (then known as Petersburg) on which to build an estate and winter home for his performers (many of whom were little people) and his animals. Nestled between the Green Pond and Bowling Green Mountains, the estate proper consisted of 100 acres, with a stately 26-room stone mansion overlooking the grounds, barns and cobblestone elephant houses.

Today Ringling Manor is the St. Stanislaus Friary, a monastery for the Capuchin Fathers. When Weird NJ went in search of the Jefferson Midgetville we stopped in to ask the fathers [my eph] if they could give us any information which might shed some light on the fabled land we sought. Though the friars were gracious enough to give us a tour or the old mansion, they said they knew nothing of any midget colonies located nearby.

Is it merely a coincidence that a cluster of extremely small cottages is located so close to the estate where a circus that employed many little people performers once wintered? Or is it possible that Alfred T. Ringling had these homes custom built to make his tinier attractions more comfortable?

But now, Hucka D., we know another little person who came to this general area, this time an actor in the movie “The Station Agent”. This is Fin McBride, who inherited a tiny train station in Newfoundland, just north of Green Pond (as the Ringling Bros. mansion is to its west).

Here are he and his *newfound* friends at the woman’s house actually on the shores of Green Pond[ while I have it located].

They are rocking to “Yellow Submarine”, which was similarly destined to reach and then exist in the mythical Sea of Green of the song. A happy ending. The flip side, Eleanor Rigby, is the negative beginning, in contrast. Like…

Hucka D.:

… Like the 2 parts of “Beware…”, negative and then positive. Good.

Hucka D.:

Aren’t we here?

“But what of the fused Baker Blinker and Baker Bloch at the bottom of the animation (Collage 04)? Baker Bloch wears Baker Blinkers old white dress, like a wedding. They are wedded here indeed. In Collage 02/03, they were separated on opposite parts of the overall diptych. Here they are united — fused. This is the hierogamy, yes. Sacred marriage of alchemy between Goddess Moon and God Sun. This is your Baker Blinker and Baker Bloch together. What do they (jointly) see? They see Blue Skies Mr., they see Red Head, guarded by Moss at the Red Door, they see Greenhead — Anne Shirley in temporary agony. They see the primary colours revealed: red, green, blue. Combined they make white. And that is the subject of the next collage (“Whiteyes”). Are we ready?”

bb:

What of the Neptune symbol projecting up from the joined bodies, Hucka D.? I’m assuming this has something to do with Frank and Herman Park’s Wild Wild West, where Gene Fade’s ancestors — his *priors* — came from. Neptune is the 1st totally unseen planet. Actually, the only totally unseeable planet to the naked eyes. Whiteyes have to be telescopic in order to view.

Hucka D.:

Neptune is the Wild West West, the thing unknown and perhaps unknowable now. You will never get down there in full. You can’t risk getting hurt, as you know better now. The Wild Wild West is for a younger you.

bb:

But I can still go down there.

Hucka D.:

Ehh,

bb:

We better move to Collage 05: “Whiteyes”.

Hucka D.:

[Actually] we’ve already covered it LINK.

bb:

Oh… alright, then let’s go to Collage 06. This one is also a 2-part animation, like “Rabbit Hole”. And it’s called “Beware (The) Heelers”. Breaking it down, the first part is called “Beware The Heelers”, and the second part is called just “Beware Heelers”. What I’m taking this as is the first part warns of the Heelers, while the second part warns the *Heelers*.

Hucka D.:

Yes, that would be correct. This is obviously about your wrist you just sprained from a Fall. Past corrects Present.

bb:

Hmm. Here are the 2 parts.

Hucka D.:

Part 1 is the Fall itself. Dorothy takes a tumble down stairs. Her hand is attached to the wheels of the Wheeler. Will her hand be sacrificed and have to be replaced? And so on. Mombi or Nurse Wilson is there. She is the one who imprisoned Ozma into the Mirror World. Ozma is then freed in part 2 of this animation. That’s the gist of it. Vice President William Wheeler under R. Booger Hayes is the top of the Oz Wheeler now. Wilson and Wheeler together here represent a mixed up time statum. The past affects the present, and the present affects the past.

bb:

I broke this same wrist when I was about 11 years old, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Loop.

bb:

It’s a pretty bad sprain, it seems, but I didn’t break it this time. Did the past block the present?

Hucka D.:

The past absorbed some of the brunt of the present. The past was worser than it should have been. The present is a bit better than it should have been. You should have broken your wrist.

bb:

But the Heelers I visited — Healers — stated that it wasn’t broken. They could be wrong.

Hucka D.:

No. You took a fall[ like Dorothy].

bb:

So my hands won’t be mismatched like the Wheeler on the far right of the collage — he’s the same in both.

Hucka D.:

No. They are black and white, true — opposites — but they are equal opposites. Good that you had to use your left hand for actions for a while.

bb:

They need to be more equal.

Hucka D.:

That could be so.

bb:

My hands won’t be a functionless as my feet.

Hucka D.:

No (laughs).

bb:

But now the deeper stuff.

Hucka D.:

Okay. Do you want to go?

bb:

I’ll give it a stab. The two hand-feet of Wheeler on the right side are the 2 sides of the audiovisual synchronicity Head Trip. The exact same type of shoe was found to be worn by Nurse Wilson in Return to Oz. I should say that the overall background is a still from this movie. It originally said “Beware The Wheelers”, which are a mythological Oz creature whose hands and feet have been replaced by wheels. Their introductory scene in the movie is brilliantly dubbed by Queen’s “I’m in Love With My Car”. Like a person gains wheels so that he or she can become more like a car.

Hucka D.:

You are doing swell. Continue…

bb:

The Wheelers are obviously aberrant creatures.

Hucka D.:

Not necessarily. You are not doing swell now. (smiles)

bb:

Okay. Well, I guess we can just generally say that part 1 of Collage 06 is the negative aspect of the fall, mirroring the immediate hours and days after my own fall which resulted in a wrist injury. Then part 2 is the positive half of the fall. Ozma redeems.

Hucka D.:

Yes she does. She *covers* the Fall with the vast reach of her pure white dress. She is the true and proper ruler of Oz, not Dorothy and not Mombi. So there is no trace of either of the latter two women-folk in part 2. Ozma rules all.

bb:

Thanks. Then we have the blue eyeballed Resident appearing again in part 2, just as he showed up in Collage 03 with his red, green and yellow eyed partners. I wonder if this is Chuck?

Hucka D.:

No. But he represents illumination. He and Ozma are fused as well.

bb:

And then the Great Black Swamp map that has appeared and covered up the word “The” of “Beware The (W)Heelers).

Hucka D.:

What about it?

bb:

Well what is it?

Hucka D.:

It’s an old swamp. Doesn’t exist any longer. TILE covered it up. Or drained it I suppose. You knew that.

bb:

Yes, I did. So the Great Black Swamp is what I call The Abyss in this new-ish post I created about rainbowology LINK. TILE emerges from the swamp. A tile industry grew around the Great Black Swamp — drainage tiles. That’s how they got rid of it. Through tiles. TILE.

Hucka D.:

That’s where Mombi and her black thoughts were put. In The Abyss. That’s the true Fall. That’s what you escaped. Now you have Rainbowology in its plcae. TILE; Rainbowology.

bb:

Cool. Are we finished with Collage 06 already?

Hucka D.:

Gump is a Mashup.

(continued in)

4 part animation.

(continued from)

Hucka D.:

Pope and Kennedy are found together in New York. That’s the last 2 names of the main protagonist and antagonist of “Love and Monsters”.

bb:

Elton and Victor being the first names, yet.

Hucka D.:

Of course Kennedy is going to bring in a lot of resonance with John F. Kennedy, your assassinated president. (pause) Then finally Victor appears in Pope County, Arkansas. (checking) Along with Gabriel and Solo pointing to Peter Gabriel’s solo career and perhaps “Solsbery Hill” in particular. Gabriel is very close to Victor. Is it still a population place? Lettuce check. (checks) It appears not, but it’s listed as a historical population center in GNIRPS.

bb:

Gabriel’s successful solo career allowed him to become a Sunklands variant, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

However fascinating this is, we must move away from it and back to Collage 04 in its two animated aspects…

We’ve dealt with Blue Skies Mr. and Elton Pope who adores his anagram of “Mr. Blue Skies”, the hit Electric Light Orchestra single. In fact, he loves the band period. ELO.

https://bakerblinker.wordpress.com/category/galleries-baker-bloch/baker-bloch-in-england/

Blue Skies Mr.: a figure Baker Bloch and The King saw at Temple Farm.

bb:

We’re not moving very far away from Blue Skies Mr. Let’s tackle Greenhead. Wait.. let’s look at the central couple of the 1st part, or Sophie and Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle. This would be from a still at the very end of the movie, where they are happily reunited, seemingly for good. Sophie has cool, white hair — a Whitehead. Howl’s is a beautiful raven black in contrast, but originally he hated this color. Anne Shirley in contrast strongly *desired* this color of hair, wanting to change from her natural “carrot coloured” red hair. Howl’s hair also changed to red, to his disgust, after Sophie rearranged the potions in his bathroom. It quickly turned black, however. *Both* were very upset at hair colours, Hucka D. And this is coded into, let’s see Carrcass+5 and Carrcass+6. I love counting those off.

Hucka D.:

Then Greenhead — Anne Shirley with temporary green hair — appears behind a Second Life green terrain just in both parts of the animation. This is Greenhead, a peak and a head at the same time. We take a peek. This would be where I’m from — my people: Greenhead (in Greater Whitehead Crossing).

bb:

Cool, Hucka D. But were you a *bee* there? Or a bird?

Hucka D.:

I ain’t telling yet (!).

bb:

Nice. Then in the middle, The IT Crowd’s Moss shows up again in Part 2, replacing Sophie and Howl. He’s defending the red door, once more, as he did in the episode “Red Door”, the 4th of Season One. Both he and Roy tell boss Jen to stay away from the Red Door. Goth Richard Avenal is behind the door. He lives there in a hidden room. This is you…

Hucka D.:

This is you in the further. Future, I meant. Mean. Kind of. It’s you and not you at once. You are Richmond, true. You will live/not live behind the Red Door. This is Red Head, of course, and the cabin. Cabin in Disguise.

bb:

You can tell me about this cabin now. I meant — mean — Can you tell me about this cabin now?

Hucka D. (flatly):

No.
