Cover Up

Hucka D., the Falmouth series has climbed even with the Gilatona-Lis event from last year, and maybe surpassed it. Gilatona-Lis collages were almost exclusively Wiltshire backdrops. None of those has appeared in Falmouth (yet!), but ’bout everything else has. Seathwaite may be next.

Hucka D.:

Falmouth is not more important than Gilatona-Lis but it is different and unique and evenly valued, as you’ve determined. Surprise (!) Now you have to figure out what it means. As you’ve also guessed, the parts of the series are linked more through the *floors* of the Falmouth Gallery, instead of the traditional [Art 10×10] tiers of 10 collages apiece. Gilatona-Lis was a step removed from this tier process but still dependent on it as a framework. Falmouth is further away. Falmouth is sort of a catch-all.

bb:

I don’t even know where to begin to analyze Falmouth.

Hucka D.:

You have an animation based on Steptoe at the beginning. That’s new in itself. No true animation has been made of your collages before. Then toward the end you have another 4-part Avebury style collage, except set in Stonethwaite. And incorporating basically all the elements of the 2 Stonethwaite collages that come before this, both from the 10×10. Amazing, again. And in the collage above, which is an animation, you have the presence of TILE. You have red glow atop the 8 ball to the right, an [early 2010 crop circle in yellow rapeseed], a green being — the 4th member of Story Room actually — removing his head [standing on green algae of the lake/pond]. You’ve seen this entity before in Stonethwaite. Let’s return to him. Then the blue of both the “E” and mirrored Square Peanut complete the 4 TILE colors. Fantastic. You had to go out of Stonethwaite to see this.

bb:

But you can still see Stonethwaite in the distance. The “E” is centered within[ it].

Hucka D.:

Kubrick flies up the mountain, up Big Stanger Gill or maybe Little Stanger Gill — hard to tell without a map. “Where are they, where are they?” he thinks. He’s worried about the entities formerly in the backyard of one of Stonethwaite’s b&b’s, where the green and gray beings of the collage were kept. Are kept. But Kubrick also wants to keep *filming*, that is, from your perspective, [keep making] collages. So he brings along the camera. He and the cameraman’s hand he holds in the 1st Stonethwaite collage of Falmouth become one and the same. So we see Kubrick there, we see him in the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant with Day Ravies and Dorothy and the “E”s. And also Jack there — another hand issue. Then we see him and Jack again playing handsies outside perhaps the same b&b the green and gray dudes are found behind in the big Falmouth collage. Also the crashed Mr. Beam is there who reappears here, head dipping in the Tarn of Leaves, seemingly. Is he dead?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka D. (pause) Grapeshot is indicated by the tip of his foot. Let’s take a look at a larger version of the same crop circle, a crop circle that also plays an important role in “Baker Bloch in England”.

Hucka D.:

Indeed.

bb:

Well, we can just pull up Falmouth 24 for a look-see.

collage24new04

It’s the out-of-place grape shot at the top of the formation his foot points to, or the tip of his foot overlaps. Out-of-place.

Hucka D.:

We could go deep into that aspect alone. This is TILE. This is Tyle.

bb:

The crop circle is from Yarnbury, a Y town. It appears near the bottom of a master list of crop circles by location down through the years.

Hucka D.:

As you’ve further guessed, the 8 ball is Ringo again, as determined by his placement in the Pepper Pyramid. Ringo assumes the 8 ball position there, as John is the 7th, McCartney the 9th, and Harrison 10.

“E” Exhibit, 02

Big E as seen from the north, with the sims from the lower part of the Korean Channel adorning the individual square surfaces on this side, 1 per square again. These would be the sims Karoz is most familiar with, starting with Xilted at the right hand bottom, closest to his Noru home. A broad strip of land extends from Xilted northward through Glasso, which Karoz has run a number of times now in its entirety.

On the south side of the Big E, then, are Channel sims from its upper part, which include another long strip of land but on the west side of the Channel this time, and considerably more narrow than the one on the lower, east side of the Channel from the snapshot above.

Let’s start with the latest and work backwards. This is the interior of the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant. Ray Davies, perhaps the same as Dr. Blood, and Edward Swift wait within, along with Judy Garland as Dorothy. We haven’t seen Ray and Edward before in Falmouth’s Stonethwaite collages, but Dorothy appears in the first, in the process of toppling off the roof of this same building. An “E” is next to her on the roof, perhaps the object directly responsible for the spill. Falls (Estatoah Falls, Georgia) are on the hillside in the background, mirroring Dorothy’s fall. Dorothy is culled from an image of her losing her balance while walking the pigpen fences in The Wizard of Oz film, and falling in among the pigs. This comes precisely at 4 minutes into Dark Side of the Rainbow. Amazingly she doesn’t get the least bit dirty; when we see her being carried by farmhand Zeke out of the pen (later: Cowardly Lion), she’s still clean as a whistle. What does this rooftop “E” have to do with the fall? It’s obviously a symbol of TILE and Second Lyfe’s Korean Channel. Now we find a set of mapped “E”s inside as well, along with a Dorothy (has she recovered from her fall, or is that still in her future?). There are 2 “E”s now, one forwards (1st animation) and one reversed (2nd animation). Although on opposite sides of the room, both “E”s are next to lamps, and the second is additionally propped up beside a lit fireplace. As the prominent color blue of the “E”s represents water (aforementioned Korean Channel), then we seem to have a water-fire polarity implied, or hot vs. cold.

Hucka D.:

I was woke up to help. Good day baker b.

Hi Hucka D. As I was telling the reader or readers, what could be the last Stonethwaite collage of the Falmouth series — and the last of the series as a whole — seems to acts as a frame for the first. Both focus in on the Stonethwaite End and Restaurant, the finest such establishment in Stonethwaite village, probably, and certainly the largest. It’s not called that in reality, however.

Hucka D.:

Collage reality is fine for here. Best to give it a false real name, then.

bb:

What are the “E”s?

Hucka D.:

Two ends of the restaurant, and also 2 ends of the village. You are not finished with Stonethwaite yet, however. You better check.

Stonethwaite bcda 02

Hucka D. is out sick today, so I’m on my own. One of the really interesting things about this double collage is how the other recent Stonethwaite collages of mine plug in around it. There’s really little redundancy here, like you need all of them together to cobble together a correct story. It’s like cubism, then.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubism

Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.

And I don’t think we’re quite finished.

So here it is: the overall Stonethwaite base photo for the projected in-the-round collage to probably finish off the Falmouth I series.

Perhaps every series from now on will be called Falmouth. The next will be Falmouth II, for example. Possibility.
