“Spine Line” 02

embarras09except01

Hucka D.:

This is something we especially wanted you to see (!).

bb:

How could this[ the 2 Swifts] possibly be connected?

Hucka D.:

Yet there they are. The alchemical marriage.

bb:

It must be the union of Silver (Creek) with Gold (River)… at Calypso or Morg Island. Morg Island is the same as the island in the collage, Hucka D. This would be in the upper left corner of collage 09 here.

Hucka D.:

Let’s take a goosie.

embarras09excerpt04

We’ve already discussed the cave and the blue stream, which counters the red rug coming from the same cave below this in the collage. This is the opposition of red and blue, kind of like Rubi oppositions Noru, as we also spoke about. But they are the same: Norubi. Back to the island, though. The cave is, moreso, Calypso, the city of, positioned on a strategic part of Morg Island that corresponds with where the Spine Line encounters the island from the north. We have two pictures of the Greek Island of Calypso this is based upon in the collage. In the smaller picture, added to the larger picture, 12 Oz Mouse character Peanut is positioned on the shoreline, about in the middle of the picture. His blue mirrors the blue of the sea and the sky. He is an inversion in fact. His hat is darker blue and his body is lighter, representing sea above sky instead of visa versa. Perhaps. To the left, in the larger picture of the Greek Island, we have the word ART, connected to the shore through 4 puzzle pieces we recognize as the colors of TILE: red, green, blue, yellow. The red piece intersects the red of the word ART, and the green intersects the green vegetation of the island, bridging word and island together.

This is also the LOST island, and the central spring and its smoke monster[ smoke coming out of hole in its center]. You’ve put a picture of this smoke monster earlier in the collage. See if you can quickly find it. Google “Achilles” to find it easily.

bb:

Okay:

smoke-monster-lost-02

Hucka D.:

Okay, find the one where he’s actually emerging from the central hole. This becomes the Smoke Monster’s birth hole[ in effect]…

bb:

Well, I can’t find that but I did find this picture of The Heart of the Island (note: this is the central hole).

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Heart_of_the_Island

6x15_TheHeartOfTheIsland

And there’s another Mother to deal with, protective and even suffocating for Jacob. The Man in Black escapes Mother, and Jacob doesn’t. Jacob is a momma’s boy.

Hucka D.:

So you know that Morg Island is Ogygia is the LOST island. The central cave of Calypso is The Heart of the Island. Two caves in one. You know that the Man in Black is reborn as the smoke monster from this heart cave[ after being cruelly thrown in by his brother Jacob, after MIB kills their mother].

—–

bb:

Jacob may even be Peanut… wishy washy like the character. Peanut, in 12 Oz Mouse, wears a policeman’s hat and becomes a policeman. Later on he trades this hat for a fireman’s helmet and seems to instantly transform into a fireman as a result. This is opposition of blue (policeman) and red (fireman) again. Perhaps.

Hucka D.:

Perhaps.

bb:

Peanut is perched on the shore of one side of the island, and the word Art and the 4 propping colors of TILE on the other side of the island. They mirror each other.

Hucka D.:

What is the meaning of the word ART, then?

bb:

I have declared myself as a[ bonafide] artist, and have established virtual Collagesity next to the Great Rubi Forest to verify this, a permanent virtual location perhaps.

Hucka D.:

Perhaps. Maybe.

bb:

TILE props up art. TILE is the religion of Collagesity, with its TILE Chapel as the center of worship. It remains incomplete.

Hucka D.:

Complete this and complete the island. Originally your Embarras 09 collage had more of the interior of the Town Diner in it, complete with the Head of Perch. Early on, you attempted to combine the Head of Perch, in the collage, with Carrcassonne in the TILE Chapel, after wondering if Carrcassonnee remained an oracle if she had no eye. Her eye[ in Collagesity, Noru] comes from Perch. 3 in 1 and 1 in 3. So you are attempting, in the collage again, to merge or reunite Carrcassonnee with her All Seeing Eye.

This will make TILE functional in Collagesity, Rubi, as it potentially was or maybe actually was in Collagesity, Noru. You complete the TILE Chapel[and ]you complete the sity. city.

—–

bb:

The placement of the Tile bit is one of the most synchronistic in the collage, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

That is because it is the most important. [Peanut] is the entrapped Odysseus/Ullyses, reversed from the picture of the island (dark blue on top instead of bottom). He stares morosely out toward the sea, unable to escape. He is the opposite of TILE[ on the other side of the island]. TILE sees the island as the 4-n-1 or the 4orrin1, complete unto itself. The Island becomes the symbol of The All. This is Jacob’s viewpoint. The other side is the Man in Black. Dark Man.

“Spine Line”

“I seem to be established pretty firmly in Collagesity, Minoa style Hucka D. It feels like a permanent virtual home.”

Hucka D.:

Characters will emerge soon. Are you ready to begin an interpretation of the Embarras collage series? It may be done already… we don’t know.

bb:

Um, sure I suppose.

Hucka D.:

You are shifting emphasis to Mythos. As [fore]told of course. You escaped this time. You will always escape. Until you don’t.

bb:

Meaning that I’ll always get to leave mom’s house because I live in another town and have to work there. Blue Mountain.

Hucka D.:

This is mirroring the older, childhood escape. That’s why it has resonance. Ullyses was entrapped on Calypso for 7 years. Not 7 nights, but it is similar in that it is a sealing. Where’s Edward?

bb:

I don’t think he’s really that happy.

Hucka D.:

No.

—–

bb:

What is the meaning of the Spine Line, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Escape. Eoc. [ Pearl Gray].

bb:

I must return to the flea market. Get more toys for another happening. Surprisingly, very surprisingly, Mythos still has energy, purpose. Pattonsburg is still an active center. Edwardston. Just as much as they always were, in ways.

Hucka D.:

The Spine Line gives energy to these places.

bb:

I may go to Mythopolis Saturday, Hucka D. Check out more of this Bridge02. Explore Carr Creek. Don’t think that’s the name for it, though.

Hucka D.:

Think of escape. Think of what will happen even when you live in Middletown. Mythos is just as close to Future Home in Middletown as it is to Blue Mountain… closer, in fact. Mythos can still be a laboratory. That is the wish of the parents as well. (pause) Spine Line has protected many of the areas from your childhood — Edwardston, Pattonsburg, Calypso, Eoc. There is another line, however.

—–

bb:

After March I will not be able to explore the Spine Line locations, most likely. I’ll have to shift back to Blue Mountain.

Hucka D.:

You can still visit your Bridge02.

Embarras 09: “Spine Line”

bb:

What of Embarras 09? You said you wanted to begin an analysis.

Hucka D.:

Spine Line is within. We’ll start a bit tonight then follow through tomorrow. Get nods out tomorrow. Begin to nail down time of DOD.

bb:

Yes I will. I’m solidly in Collagesity now. Really have been since June, although I shifted from Noru to Rubi in November.

Hucka D.:

It was all Norubi[ anyway].

—–

“I’m opening Embarras 09 in a new window. We’ll begin tonight. We have an actual spine, or a metallic representation thereof within, alongside the spine of a book. And not any old book, but Winesap. A metallic boy seems to look through the book at a woman with a man sitting in her lap in front of a cave. This is Odysseus. This is the cave of Calypso. On Calypso’s lap is Edward. E. Swift…

Hucka D.:

Not your Edward but still your Edward. He represents the Great Rubi Forest through the Big Thicket of Camp Ruby. Lucky you. He is you established in Collagesity, Rubi style or Minoa style. He is *protection*. The boy attempts to look at the lady. Yet Edward is in the way. The lady is on a red rug. On the top part of the metal spine is the same cave, smaller in perspective, with a *blue* stream coming out of it. This is the opposition of red and blue, Russellian style. The blue and red face opposite ways in front of the cave. The blue stream from the cave seems to “pour” into the spine from the top. The spine is the same as the[ spine of the] book.

bb:

Yes.

Hucka D.:

The blue is Noru and the red is Rubi. Both the red rug and the blue stream pour, as it were, out of the cave. This is good collage… peak of the Embarras series so far.

bb:

Thank you.

Hucka D.:

You worked harder on this that some of the others. It shows. Refinement.

bb:

It had surprises.

Hucka D.:

You move away from the tetraptych, true, but images collide more in meaningful ways here, although you’ll return to the multi-panel works soon enough. Now you noticed the *Achilles Heel*.

bb:

Yes. The achilles heel of the boy. And this relates to Achilles, Virginia and Lady and Glass there and a particular story from Winesap, also highlighted by Faherty’s The Ordained. The blue-green horse emerges from the hole, like a cave on its side. The cyan or blue-green horse is Eoc, Hucka D.

embarras09excerpt02

Hucka D.:

12 Ounce Mouse or Fitz (green being behind cyan horse) sees the hole; seems somewhat alarmed. Fitz is Britonia, Fitz is entrapment in Britonia, in the house. Can’t escape. Yet the person in the house which is the same as Fitz here sees the escape through the hole. Eoc is escape through the Spine Line. The hole in the leg of the cyan horse mirrors the hole on the ground. This is also the concept of Greenup as opposed to Yellow Down.

bb:

Fitz is Britonia and Skillet is Spring Squirrel or Swamp Squirrel. This is the 2 to Britonia’s 1. Skillet seals the entrapment inside the Confederation, which is the same as Zircon. Omega.

Hucka D.:

Yes. It has been a slow process but the sealing is almost complete. Nowhere to go. Mobility lost.

—–

bb:

Then we have a woman reading a book to the left, just like Embarras 08 has Scully reading the Jose Chung book. And like Embarras 08, horses emerge from the left of the reading girl or woman. The same 2 horses.

embarras09excerpt03

embarras08test02p

The 6 legged, cyan colored horse has reappeared from that collage as well. The spine of the book becomes like the [eastern] border of our Middletown property. We are afraid that people will be able to look in on us there, Hucka D., so we must create a protecting border.

Hucka D.:

You must extend the border down, yes. Else people will be able to peer in.

bb:

But the middle row of green shrubs may have to be erased… cut down.

Hucka D.:

Perhaps.

bb:

If we could build a house as small as the one in Embarrass 07…

embarras06test15

… then the line of shrubs (appearing behind it in that collage) there would be okay.

—–

“This is about not just one mother but two.”

bb:

OMG, Hucka: Edward Swift and Kate Swift as one!

Larger reduced 47% (48 nor 46 doesn’t work), combined with smaller. Two alignments still seem necessary…

Bottom…

Combined:

scully02

Added to map:

embarras08test02

Probability: This has something to do with the fine alignment of the placing of a house on the map “behind” Scully reading a book. One[ pixel] off and it’s thrown. Meshing gears. Where’s Mulder?

There’s an implied relationship with the one eyed father of the collage before (Embarras 07), appearing to its left. This is correct alignment. The father has the answers.

Double the fame.

I appear on Bing Streetside (equivalent to GoogleEarth Streetview) in not one but two locations on a cold December morning in Middletown NC. And no I wasn’t following the Bing car around — just lucky.

But don’t you know this simply has to be in a collage now.

More Crossroads

http://www.mrjumbo.com/contents/delta99/3delta/clarksdale.html

61cross49

In the Falmouth collage “2989”, set in Whitehead Crossing, the conjoined green man and the gray man face in different directions very similar to the 49/61 signs to their right. Green=61, then, and Gray=49. Together in this way, they represent the sign itself, and thus 2989 itself.

2989excerpt

I just found a red umbrella in one of my freebie Second Life purchases last night, and copied it to my inventory. Interesting to see if anything develops from that resonance.

Gray and Green Man, Pooh and his umbrella and honey pot, have reappeared in Embarras 04/05, the newest tetraptych and equaling my largest work. Examples of another tetraptych are found in both the Gilatona-Lis (last work) and Falmouth (middle work) series. Here it comes very early in a series, if this progresses onward as those other two from previous winters did.

Page about “lego philosohpy”, a concept I’d like to explore more. Legos are relatable to the Second Life prims that are used to construct objects in that particular world. Prim creation has been partially usurped by sculpties. Witness this picture and info that use to hang in Noru’s Collagesity Town Diner…

Jeogeot: West End, 03

Jeogeot West, etc., 02

… well, that’s not the actual picture by Melodie Darwin that was there but it’s a photo of the same Linden build, still found at the terminus of the West End Road. The town of WES is no longer around, however.

Toy King Pics?

Is this the actual Toy King of WW?

http://inside.warren-wilson.edu/blogs/echo/2010/10/the-mystery-bus-explained/

I think so, but not 100 percent sure. At any rate, he’s bussed off now to unknown dimensions and I am the new Toy King, or Baker( Block or Beach) is (Martel very close to Mattel). I have chosen to assume that Mantel; take up the charge. To expose the sole Loch Ness islands for what they are: man and dog united forever and ever. Caledonia be dammed.

baker02

Gene Fade The Mossman will probably push Baker (me) to become the new Toy King. Gene Fade is part of the Masters of the Universe, as he is conscious of at least now. He wishes to join his colleagues’ fight against Lego. He might even wish to help with the projected MotU film. Why wouldn’t he?

http://www.thekarachiite.com/2014/09/lego-crowned-the-undisputed-king-of-toys/

Hucka D.:

The Mmmmmm’s go where Gene Fade and The Mossmen go. The latter may have even created the former — we’re not sure[ yet]. And then the marbles roll along as well.

bb:

Thanks, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I’ll claim this[ one]. Lula Barbee is Rich. She even owns The Moon.

bb:

The marbles are from 3rd life. Ensouled avatars, once more. But 3d and real, unlike Second Life avatars. Strange that First Life, obviously, is real, and 3rd Life seems to be real but Second Life is not. Baker Block, I suppose.

Hucka D.:

Marbles got sick of Second Life avatar do-ups and went to 3rd which turned out to be first. Through the back door.

bb:

Rolled out again, eh.

greenup17collage600x430

Hucka D.:

Uncyclopedic. Awesome.

bb:

Hucka D., the spheres of the Russell related animation I reproduce here…

… remind me of the marbles Little Bill holds on a fork in Greenup 11, revolved around by 8 tulips.

greenup11collage1

‘Cept here they are red, green, blue instead of red, yellow, blue. Same idea, though.

Hucka D.;

You will hold the same in Dumpport, out above The River. Orange you glad you asked.

bb:

It’s apparently the same 3 marbles as in Greenup17, also pictured above. Those are the only 2 collages of the Greenup series featuring marbles, and both of the red, green, and blue variety. These are perhaps the 3 original or Ur marbles.

marbles01

Hucka D.:

Correct.

bb:

Later they join forces with yellow, actually, to form the true TILE waterfall pictured in Newton09.

newton09collage552x820

And just to be complete about this, they only clearly appear together in one other Art 10×10 collage: Newton07.

newton07collage600x800

And the most recent TILE Waterfall and perhaps the truest has been discussed in this October post, Hucka D. And on Bill Creek. Queer[ once more].
