Bigfoot Notes

Components of toy happenings so far…

1) Found regional objects (“junk”).

For Billfork (Spring 2012) and Lion’s Roar (Fall 2012) this came from sites of torn down houses and structures in Herman Park each. For Bigfoot, outside the protection of Frank and Herman Parks, the objects were found at the Plateau of Raw Art (site of old high school). Ruins are a key link. The smaller art event called Falmouth (Spring 2013) also contained some junk objects, most of which were old bottles. Same story there: came from nearby site of old house. Billfork and Lion’s Roar had a lot of bottles as well. Then there’s the basically unpotentialized Whitehead Crossing with its 55 or so bottles laying around in a pile.

And *then* there’s Rust Spot with its cache of metal stuff. 😮

2) Marble Race Track

The first marble race tracks of happenings set up in Billfork and Lion’s Roar were linear, with the end separate and unrelated, let’s say, from the beginning. For Bigfoot, end loops back into beginning potentially, or they are directly up and down from each other at least. This mimics the idea of Opus 19, where the bottom of the track is directly below the top. If you had some kind of pulley system, the race could potentially be made perpetual.

The marble race in Bigfoot was somewhat bigger than in Billfork and Lion’s Roar as well. All use 0-27 gauge model railroad track, of which I have probably 70-80 pieces by now.

3) Toy avatars

Billfork had no toy avatars except for the marbles (which count, despite the opinions of the Mmmmmmm’s). Lion’s Roar contained a couple, or at least I especially remember order barking Sue. The Sharieland art event (Fall 2013) excels here, with a good number of toy avatars involved in building and maintaining a central road through the rocks and sand of Erath on Earth Creek at Heart Lake. Sharieland is also where Billy J. Thornberry made his first appearance in a toy happening in the role of Lazy Sideburns Man, famously destroyed by Hater the Cow there. Of course he later reappears in Bigfoot as iron smelter Taum Sauk and also, briefly, as LSB’s twin brother Daisy at Whitehead Crossing, deemed The Leader (Spring 2014: 1 2).

Toy avatars appear quite early in my blogging experiences, way back in 2008 at TILE Creek, which can count as the first toy avatar happening. But there it was pure toys, with no junk and marble track (except for a couple of rustmobiles, i.e. old tin cans). I suppose we can call it the Jonesborough Happening. Nothing really has gone on there since then.

I keep stockpiling toys, which can be found very cheaply at flea markets and such.

You have to have a right combination of the above 3 to make a true art happening in my opinion. And that’s what occurred at Bigfoot.

“But of course this is the one I’m most interesting in,” I said. I pointed again. “Foote”, I said, drawing the magnification out. “Grace, Glen Allan, Panther Burn.” “Foote,” I reinforced, “Then Heads on the other side.”

He looked with me. I also thought of the lyrics, “from my head down to my toes,” as 2 of the 4 Beatles — John and Paul perhaps meaningfully — fall flat, head and feet on same level, as in a corpse.

“Helm may also refer to the helm of a ship,” I said, still looking at the northern part of the same county. “This is the body of Addie.”

“Or someone at the helm,” Hucka Doobie chipped in. “A boss, a captain.”

“Helm could also refer to helmet.”

“Or helmets. Helmets cover heads, like in a fireman’s helmet. Like in a football helmet.”

“Here?” he asked. It was a sly observation by him concerning me.

https://bakerbloch.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/collage61part02c.jpg

Hucka D.:

Mississippi is a heavily coded state. You will not be able to find it all in the present. It is for the future. “As I Lay Dying”.

bb:

Yes. The present is Winesap.

Hucka D.:

Yes. Cash… money. Bono can’t control. Fully. You’ll win. You’ll see.

bb:

Frank Park’s Korean Channel: coded in Mississippi.

Hucka D.:

*Visa versa* (!)

bb:

But the combo of Foote and Helm+Heads on opposite sides of Washington County points to a specific body (Addie), but also a *foot*ball *helm*et worn on the *head* for protection. And perhaps a specific football player in part: Ray” Nitschke, former all star linebacker for the Green Bay Packers during the famed Lombardi era. But his success on the field led to a small role in The Monkees’ *Head* movie from 1968, where he was running around banging his helmeted head against the walls of a war trench. Football is War. And that’s where it all goes wonky.

Here’s a related post I found:

https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/04/16/korean-channel/

The Korean Channel represents one specific tile in the 47 tile “Head Trip”, which I can now say the actual name of thanks to Karl’s interview of me, baker b. In the synch (and attached “Dwarf” album) it’s a channel George Tirebiter is watching that shows a movie about war. Pork Chop Hill is mentioned therein so it’s apparently the Korean War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pork_Chop_Hill

Later a Monkee replaces his lost army helmet with Nitschke’s football helmet. War is football.

Hucka D.:

That is an important tile.

Back to marbles and toy avatars, I believe the marbles, through Key Rock or the rock with the key in it at Bridee, were able to turn themselves into *humans*, or at least toy avatar versions. The first of their kind might have actually been named *Rock*. Yes, I’m thinking it may have been Rock Meadows of Whitehead Crossing. He has a strong Elton John vibe going on through Mississippi and Crocodile Rock — one Rock might have named the other Rock. And eventually this leads to Gray Seal (Gray Rock + Seal Stone) on the other side of Fantasia Brick Road going through the center of Whitehead Crossing, a Wilson-Wheeler forwards-backwards phenomenon. Across Big Log from it.

Weekend’s Here!

Will probably head back to Rediscovery and Bigfeet, weather permitting, for more picture taking and perhaps map creating. All of this *means* something.

I’ve been thinking about toy avatars and the progression of their story in the blogs, starting in 2008. The avatars seem exclusive to Frank and Herman Parks — what is their role in the Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape and attached extensions, then? I haven’t yet linked up the 2 hiking mythologies.

Toy avatars manifested in conjoined Frank and Herman Parks because they felt protected there, like the parks are protected. 3 major species: mossmen, mmmmmm’s, and marbles. 3ms. The mossmen story seems to have been worked out more than the other two, centered on the Gene Fade character who was born in Frank Park’s Jupiter Rock and also lived in nearby Notherton and perhaps Mocksity. Supersity? Mossmen (and Gene Fade) were also involved in Whitehead Crossing for certain. They might have invented the Spoon River portal system, or at least they used the system for instant teleport to various spots.

Mossmen, mmmmm’s and marbles alike appear in my collages, still displayed currently in the various Collagesity galleries next to the Rubi Forest. I tried to get rid of my land there this month but couldn’t shake it. Now I may keep the place for the whole winter again.

Mmmmmm’s seem exclusive to Herman Park. Hermania on TILE Creek, just west of Drink Lake, seems a focus for them, replacing an original living area in Good and Great Meadows to the north of this lake. Story is that the first mmmmmm’s arrived in Great Meadow in a large goodmobile from “Pluto”, which may be the same as Mythos’ Edwardston but we’re not quite sure yet.

Salad Bar Jack is, by far, the best known of the mmmmmm’s, and acts as a balance to Gene Fade. They both appear in Salad Bar Jack action adventure movies. They’re both actors. And actually, as I’m remembering it, Salad Bar Jack’s real name is Grassy Noll. He’s so identified with his famous role that people always confuse the two (even me!). Gene Fade, in the same films, is usually called simply “The Mossman” or “Mossman”, perhaps a slightly or even not-so-slightly demeaning name. Then there’s Dirk Stew, a humanoid toy who plays Rock Meadows in a projected series of movies directed by Gene Fade himself. He plans to move beyond the action-adventure genre in these. Can he pull it off? Will the mmmmmm’s pay their hard earned hard green money to see non-Salad Bar Jack vehicles? That’s the uphill battle he is facing in moving from actor to director, for that was always his destiny.

Going back to Gene Fade’s origins in Jupiter Rock and Frank Park, we also know something about a “Prior” (from “Pryor”), which may be a father or grandfather who came from the park’s Wild Wild West, or what we call the Trident Creek area in the blogs. This figure is attached to Neptune and also the Aquaman “Anti-Superman” superhero. Compared to this, Fade is Uranus, visible to the naked eye in the night sky if you know where to look. This is Superman (Supersity?) revealed?

Heading even further west than Frank Park’s Wild Wild West, we know that Mossmen consider Granddaddy Mtn. verboten to walk upon, and the source of their all powerful Rock Gods. A mystical place named Rubi Doo (Ragi Too?) is associate with the summit.

We also theorize that the Second Life avatar Karoz Blogger is the creation of Gene Fade, and that he considers him his “son” of sorts. Karoz was partly designed to walk the slopes of Grandaddy Mtn. in a safe manner, since, being virtual, he can’t harm the indigenous plant (and animal) life. But the experiment failed. Karoz could not escape his limiting Jeogeot continent circle centered by Mother Noru. Karoz’s mother Sapphire (she adopted him?) called him her precious Aquamarine, but he grew beyond this to become rebellious Aqua Teen. Rebeling caused the circle?

I have all these bits and pieces concerning toy avatardom but I haven’t put all of them together into a larger jigsaw puzzle. It remains unfinished.

And then the marbles — I have them coming from the Key Rock area southwest of Blue Mtn. They originally come from Mythos as well, like the mmmmmm’s apparently. In their case: Bridee, which psychically overlaps my mother’s house in Mythopolis. As a child I played a lot with marbles in this house. Later on I theorized that wilder counterparts to my “tame” toys might have been living inside the walls of the house when I was growing up. They found a forgotten house key in a fake rock lodged in these walls and thought the rock to be a super-marble, which was partly correct according to Hucka D., I believe. This rock in Bridee corresponds exactly to the position of Key Rock and the surrounding Castle Rock area in Blue Mtn’s county of Haze. These wilder marbles also had contact with a house rat named Augustus. Was this the Map Rat? The wild marbles looked down upon their tamed counterparts that I played with. Deemed them washed up. The wild marbles sent a new delegation to replace the older marbles afte they had been beaten up by their constant gaming, like a beat up old football players dented by their many collisons down through the years. This is actually a real story.

The location of Key Rock in Bridee (mother’s house) was between the den and living room wall. The rock totally fascinated the marbles. I believe it represents the main link between microcosm (Bridee) and macrocosm (Haze County), and a way to move between the two. Like the Dr. Who tardis, inside was much larger than outside. The specific ratios involved in the two dimensions are 12 or 13 to 1, or a dozen or Baker’s dozen to one. This relationship is coded into Maebaleia continent’s 12 or 13 to 1 ratio between large Blue Feather Sea and small Blue Drake lake or pool.

I would compare the relationship between wild and tame marbles to that between the wild and tame humans in the movie “Fantastic Planet”, use in a carrcass or a/v synch called “Fantastic Aspic” now. Like these humans, marbles are “pets” — *of* humans in this case, or, specifically, me.

The gargantuan blue Dragg child Tiva compares to me in this way. Her human “pet” Terr compares to my named marbles such as Bob Underston and Big Blue Eye. She has one but I have/had several to many.

Gun with a gun

I keep walking the Urban Landscape each weekend day, weather permitting, including yesterday. No pictures, however. Hopefully today.

With the completion of Karl and I’s dual interviews, I feel like a public part of a/v synching has been wrapped up again. I don’t want to say it’s the end of my facebook and email interactions with synchers, but it could be. We need something shocking to come along and wake us all up again, perhaps involving Dark Side of the Rainbow. Randy Teaford’s yearly exhibits sound cool but something else is needed. There’s a chance some of us could do a joint interview about that most hallowed of synchs, as I put it in my own interview.

But I must face the fact that I’m working alone now on the Sunklands site, most likely. Few will read the newest interviews. Everyone’s lives are busy.

So I must move forward. We’re getting the house ready for a sale. We are preparing to buy a new one. What of the art? The Pierre era synchs (Piera synchs) are now protected digitally in several ways. The carrcasses are a more delicate matter. Carrcassonnee remains slightly concerned.

Where is it heading? Once more, I think we’re going to Middletown still, and basically do a 1:1 trade out between The House on The Hill and a brand new modular home on our primary lot there. That’s the master plan. Carrcasses will continue for the rest of my life but in a calmer rhythm. I don’t plan to listen to as much rock music as I did before — more soft classical. Inspirations for new a/v synchs may be harder to come by. But right now I feel another one is brewing. Once more, however, it must remain a secret development for the most part. This will be Carrcass-12.

Bits and pieces of reality are falling into it. The definition of a tile must be better understood.

I’m unsure still about a tie between the large mythology surrounding Frank and Herman Parks I’ve developed now and the new idea of a Blue Mountain Urban Landscape. Are toy avatars in this landscape? It seems much more tightly controlled by humans — obviously. Leola Creek, however, has energy.

Let’s look at it this way. Leola Creek has its origins in *Herman Park*. Although its name changes over its main course, the stream can be said to have its source on Wealthy Mountain. There the flow is the same as what we’ve been calling Green Oz Creek, which is directly attached to the concept of WIS. Tinsity is on Green Oz Creek, about 1/2way between the tip top of Wealthy Mtn. and the large Herman Park pool known as Health Lake. Then the output of Health Lake, which is the same stream technically, directly becomes Leola Creek when it joins with another smaller creek at the head of Rocky Branch Road.

So in these 2 posts here and here with Rocky Branch Rd. photos that I never generated text for, we are looking at Leola Creek. Leola Creek is the rocky branch named.

I tried last year to develop a, er, branch mythology surrounding the approx. 2/3rds mile long Rocky Branch Road, a fascinating byway that has enchanted both Edna and I for a considerable time now. But because it is private and parking is lacking, we found we could not regularly hike it. So the mythology aspect was cut short. But the main point I wanted to make is that *this is the same Leola Creek*. The passage of this creek along the entire length of the road is not dissimilar to the passage of same through the official Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape, or between Point+1 and Point-1 on our “official” map here. A distance of about 1 mile as the crow flies. And the distance between the head of Rocky Branch Road and Point+1 is about 1/2 of this, or only about a 1/2 mile.

The Frank and Herman Einstein Blog started at the start of Leola Creek then, since its focus was Tinsity and Lion’s Roar at the beginning, the latter situated on a stream feeding into Leola Creek a little below Health Lake. The beginning of the current blog is the same as the beginning of this creek. Where are we now? At its *mouth* in the Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape. There must be something to this. Frank and Herman Einstein Blog has also deadened at this Landscape, since it has been essentially absorbed into the Sunklands site as of the end of May. It is now the Sunklands blog. The Frank and Herman (Einstein!) experiment is over. Second Life mythology was *not* expelled within as anticipated. Collage generating grew exponentially. It turns out that the peak of Frank and Herman mythology came just before and after the creation of the namesake blog — with Billfork, Whitehead X-ing and Con Creek on the farside and with Tinsity and Lion’s Roar on the near side from us timewise. True, Whitehead X-ing keeps developing as a woodsy center, and the discovery of a conjoined Red Head this past summer certainly opened up an important new chapter. Just to note, Whitehead Crossing and its Green Stream is not in the Leola Creek system. But it still seems resonant through WIS. Tinsity is not that far from central Red Head.

Where are we going?

I guess…

… I’ll always have Whitehead Crossing now, Hucka D. The tiny cemetery there is Wilcoxson. Sorry: Dogpatch. There’s only one Wilcoxon and that’s Dogpatch[ in GNIRPS]. I’ll always have a portal to WH X-ing.

Interpretation:

Base scene is the exact middle of The Shining movie, as defined by The Shining Forwards and Backwards audiovisual experiment talked more about here LINK. We have Rainbow Man Scatman Cruthers (chef Dick Hallorann in the movie) laying in his bed, encompassed by the colours of TILE: red, green, blue, yellow. I display the picture first here in this blog, which is now part of the “6 Weeks of Shining” hybrid document. Week 2 to be specific. The presence of TILE here inspired me to put a blend of primary hued lights behind his bed, highlighting a red painting above his bed in particular. This picture originally depicted a nude African-American woman, but now contains the nerdy Moss from the Brit hit TV show “The IT Crowd.” He warns new-ish boss Jen about passing through the red door into a secret room not known about before by her. “What’s Behind the Red Door?” is also the largest Kollage Kid collage currently exhibited in Collagesity (World of Collage gallery), formerly seen in the X-Spot Gallery. Hallorann, also an African-American, has intense white eyes. This is actually representative of the blend of primary light colours into white, the source of all.

This also stands for Whitehead Crossing as a blend of red (Red Head), green (Greenhead), and blue (Blue Skies Mr.). It is also a center… of my woodsy experiences in these here parts. It is the center of Frank and Herman Parks (most likely).

Whiteyes also stands for “Whitey” (1st 6 letters), which *Redd* Foxx occasionally called caucasians on his influential 70s hit comedy show “Sanford and Son”, always getting a laugh in the process. We’ve already seen several images of Mr. Foxx in the Sam Parr collage series from the past fall, namely collages 06/07 and collage 08. The characters of Whiteyes are also all African-Americans, including The IT Crowd character Moss.

“So what does it mean Hucka D.?”

Hucka D.:

This is center with a capital “C”.

bb:

A miniature Bugs Bunny lays on the bed beside Hallorann, his famous byline not traveling with him from earlier collages in the series. This would of course be “What’s Up Doc?”, now the name of an important album by the variant band Story Room, who are kind of The Residents. Don’t you think?

Hucka D.:

Obviously!

bb:

“What’s Up Doc?” is the primary source album of the audiovisual synch Carrcass-10, the next to last I’ve created. Going on 2 years back now, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Better put up the link.

bb:

This is also found in Week 2 of “6 Weeks of Shining”.

Hucka D.:

Good to know.

bb:

So obviously Bugs Bunny here represents that variant album, Hucka D., just like he did in the earlier collage 02/03 of the new series. What’s the name of this series, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

We do not have a name. We’ll have to call it Bob in the meantime.

bb:

This is the a/v synch I was talking to Chuck about while we walked the loop now called the Bunny Trail, in its honor. We merged through this loop, and then separated, I with my own past/present/future compositions and he with his own set. We were united through the synchronicity, that and others. But, at the end, Carrcass-10. He knows now.

Hucka D.:

Nose.

bb:

Yeah.

Hucka D.:

Well… what’s behind the red door anyways?

bb:

Red Head of course.

Hucka D.:

But what exactly is Red Head? We know that it is Anne Shirley with an “e”, before and after she briefly turned Greenhead in the Green Gables story. Right before she was accepted into that house by Marilla The Elder. Greenhead transferred to Green House. She had a roof over her head for the first time. Poor little orphan Anne.

bb:

Yes, it is Anne Shirley, as especially depicted in the postive carrcass: Carrcass+6 I believe I number it.

Hucka D.:

That’s all about Appalachian Spring. Green Stream( that runs through Red Head) is also an Appalachian Spring. Moreso even than TILE Creek, perhaps.

bb:

Maybe.

Hucka D.:

Even more than George Harrison Creek that runs behind your current house.

bb:

Okay.

Hucka D.:

So that’s one thing behind the Red Door. Obviously Red Head, the formerly unknown part of Whitehead Crossing until this spring, is behind this Red Door. Moss guards the door in the collage, just like Mossmen protected Red Head from incursions. How chancy is that?

bb:

Probably not very much so, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

No. This is pre-cabin. You better get to an interpretation of the animation before this tonight. Start it anyhoot.

bb:

Thanks.

Animation?

—–

“So Hucka D., here we are at Collage 04, an animation apparently. This was created just before I sprained my wrist falling off a truck tailgate at work and had to take a week break from collaging. Now I’m back.”

Hucka D.:

You’re beautiful. Beautifully healing, I mean. Don’t listen to that healer. You are doing swell. You are not swelling. You are well. Weller. Let’s get to the analysis. We’ll get back to healers soon enough.

bb:

In Collage 06, yes. Well… here we have a scene from Second Life as a backdrop. This, I believe, is the famous or infamous *Rabbit Hole* connecting the continents of Jeogeot and Maebaleia, perhaps the 2 largest of the Second Life mainland continents, which number perhaps 10 or 11 now. The Rabbit Hole is one of the oddest things I found in my Second Life explorations. I talk about it originally here on the [Baker Blinker Blog] LINK.

—–

Hucka D.:

Well, let’s get to what’s behind the hole in the collage. We have, from left to right, Blue Skies Mr., who in the second part of the animation turns into Dr. Who’s Elton, not to be confused with *that* Elton.

rectangle

bb:

Of course not (smiles).

Hucka D.:

Blue Skies Mr. rearranged spells Mr. Blue Skies, a song by Electric Light Orchestra and a song championed by The Who’s Elton. Don’t you think Pinball Wizard covered by the other Elton could represent another link? I think so.

bb:

Could be.

Hucka D.:

This is… you go…

bb:

Alright. This is from the episode Love and Monsters, the 10th episode of Season 2 of the newest Dr. Who series. This was during the David Tennant run. The character’s full name is Elton Pope.

Hucka D.:

Elton’s companion and future lover, at least as a cement *tile*, is Ursula.

after

The relationship between Ursula, Elton and *Doctor* Who is apparently coded into GNIRPS, in the source state of Arkansas…

uruslaarkansas

Actually, in checking I see I’ve already mentioned this here, but without the above, accompanying map to explain. There it is correctly connected to the character Doctor Fork of Billfork, coming from a [delete name] audio source. At the same time in Billfork that this character is mentioned (he will arrive shortly on the confusing scene with either an antidote or an anecdote (!)), James Woods of Northfork lowers the visor of the car to reveal a row of fishing lures, but which also look like *cutlery*, or at least spoons. Obvious connection to *Fork*, however.

Quote from that old blog post:

Only 1 Ursula in US, in Sebastian Co, AR (Ursula is name of waitress in tile 10). Already been connected to Ursula in Carrcass-8 through Doctor’s Creek just to its north.

But… Doctor’s Creek tributary above Ursula is called Doctor’s Fork, and a “Doctor Fork” is mentioned in Billf. (who will arrive soon with the antidote, or is it anecdote?). Doctor Fork is mentioned just as we see fishing lure behind sun visor in car (tile __). Also this looks like spoons, another utensil like forks. Fishing lure assoc. with Doctor Fork as creek or stream, perhaps. Doctor Fork may also then be assoc. with Dr. Who through Ursula. Of course Dr. Fork from audio is a link to North*fork* movie on the video side, akin to Bottom Feedlers (or Fiedlers) and Ursula’s mention of bottom feeders.

028509_28
Ursula

So this connects 2 of your synchronicities together, or Carrcass+8 and Carrcass-8. That’s “plus 8” and “minus 8” for the reading audience. Same number but positive and negative. Years and years apart.

bb:

9 years.

Hucka D.:

James Woods is looking at a picture of his deceased wife among the fishing lures. The Bill say antidote and anecdote together, fusing the 2 different but similarly pronounced words. Are they the same (as well)?

Collage 02/03 Interpretations 02

(continued from)

You have a Celina, Ohio woman, an artist prim and proper, inserting an eye into a yin/yang spherical symbol called the Taijitu. The iris of the eye is yellow. It is suppose to be a fish eye. [One of] the 4 Residents from the other side of the diptych has a yellow eye as well. He looks down [at Drink], while the other Residents look across[ or toward]. The yellow eye in the Taijitu looks up as opposed to down. This is the same eye.

The general setting for both collages is a cascade area just behind your present house in Blue Mountain. This is the first time in a collage of yours that you’ve included a location so close to your home. Yet you haven’t been down there in years, have you?

“Hucka D., this is how you started the interpretation of Collage 02/03 of the new series, in the last post on this here Baker Bloch Blog.”

collage02test02ah

Hucka D.:

Frank and Herman, Einstein! blog yes. As we spoke a bit beforehand, you want me to help you fill in the details more. The Taijitu in the collage[s] stands for the area around your house. Tomorrow, as I understand, you are going to *work* on said house. You really are this time.

bb:

Yes. Might paint the back porch a little later on this week. Fix the gutter system. Can’t keep playing in the woods every single clear day. But there are a bunch of them just ahead. Good time to get some actual work done here.

Hucka D.:

I would recommend. So back to the collage[s], we have the Taijitu symbol as a 3/d sphere. This is the area around your house, a mythology you came up with shortly after moving in. It consists of the Endosphere — black side — and Exosphere — white. As you described in a recent post LINK, this mythology has degenerated into basic nothingness. It is no more.

bb:

No unfortunately. Neighborhood degeneration as I called it in that post. A sad state. We really liked this house [and neighborhood] when we moved in — almost 20 years ago now. Now it’s just filled to the brim with students. It is a student neighborhood now, at least on this side. 20 years ago this wasn’t the case.

Hucka D.:

Well, that symbol applies to the house. Now what is the Celina woman doing with that eye? She is *fixing* Big Bob, that’s what. As you should fix your house. She’s a doer; you’re a don’ter.

bb (smiling):

That is probably true.

—–

Hucka D.:

But the house is also a shed, like you wanted to build in the Endosphere woods in back of your house. 2 fer 1. And this dichotomy is still in place. You want or need a house. You also desire a shed built from scratch, or relatively so. Like Sam Parr Artist had in her English garden.

samparr10test02a

bb:

True. It could be an artist studio.

Hucka D.:

Or perhaps like one even this Celina woman has. She is similar to Sam Parr[ after all].

—–

bb:

Hucka D., as I’m looking at Collage 02/03 as a whole now, I believe the yellow eye the Celina woman is inserting into the Taijitu represents the shed more than the house, and an artist’s studio more than actually dye in the wool living quarters. There’s a shed in Collage 03, one on George Harrison Branch but upstream from the cascade in the picture by about a mile. This is what I now desire to build in Red Head. And we have a Red Head in the collage as well — the mashup of Anne Shirley and Dorothy Gale near the top center.

Hucka D.:

That is Red Head itself [in Frank Park]. Aquaman.

bb:

I don’t know what that means.

Hucka D.:

Red Head is where it all goes down. Green Stream (stream that cascades through Red Head) is your Appalachian Spring. 4orrin1 tells a lot about Red Head. And visa versa.

For Red Head to succeed it must be both Superman and Aquaman. Original and inverted in one. Wilson-Wheeler if you will. Prior must become present and visa versa. Either or.

bb:

I still don’t understand.

Hucka D.:

The cascades in the collage[s] are as much the Red Head cascades as the ones behind your house now. After all, the Exosphere, the intra-hiking area, is a dead zone, and of no use to you any longer. Everything has shifted to Red Head now, including the dream of building a woodsy shed like you originally envisioned above the cascades of George Harrison Branch — and a shed that is still present at Harrisonia, albeit not of your own design. But you can use it as a model, certainly. And that is why it’s there. How do all these sheds or potential sheds interconnect — blend into each other? That is the question you are actually asking.

bb:

Okay.

Hucka D.:

Someone like Superman had to build the one at Harrisonia, because it was built in the *middle of rhododendron*. It was exactly like someone flew it in from above. You still don’t know how that thing got there.

bb:

No. I don’t.

Hucka D.:

*You* put it there.

bb:

You mean I communicated to someone who put it there. On a mental plane.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb (looking at collage again):

So that would explain the conjunction of that Harrisonia shed and Superman in [Collage 03]. Quilt Rock is beside it, and that was painted by the Celina artist woman once more.

Hucka D.:

All of these desires[ for a woodsy shed] must coalesce somehow. You draw strength from it. That can help with your present house situation as well.

Collagesity Update

(continued from)

Baker enjoys the view at Lake Hans Loso on the Jeogeot continent. A small town has sprung up along its southern shores, which includes a couple of art galleries. Will Baker become a new resident?

Snapshot2004_001

But he still has Minoa’s Collagesity, neglected for a number of weeks now.

Snapshot2006_002

There’s life again in the town’s growing edge gallery: Red Umbrella. A new collage series is taking root. Will the pieces within number 10 again, like with the last 2 such series?

Snapshot2006_003

“Hucka D., if you’re ready I think we should talk about collage 02/03 already, just to get a bearing on what’s to come. So Hucka D. (pause) Hucka?”

Hucka D.:

Here.

bb:

Let’s take the left side first. This would be Collage 02 I suppose.

collage02test02ah

Hucka D.:

You have a Celina, Ohio woman, an artist prim and proper, inserting an eye into a yin/yang spherical symbol called the Taijitu. The iris of the eye is yellow. It is suppose to be a fish eye. [One of] the 4 Residents from the other side of the diptych has a yellow eye as well. He looks down [at Drink], while the other Residents look across[ or toward]. The yellow eye in the Taijitu looks up as opposed to down. This is the same eye.

The general setting for both collages is a cascade area just behind your present house in Blue Mountain. This is the first time in a collage of yours that you’ve included a location so close to your home. Yet you haven’t been down there in years, have you?

bb:

2 or 3 at least.

Hucka D.:

It’s time to go back.

bb:

Okay.

Hucka D.:

Anyway, that’s the location. Baker Bloch is positioned on a rock in front of the falls, arms extended. His right hand almost touches the head of the Celina woman artist who holds the big yellow eye. Below her is another picture of the same artist, hard at working painting other stuff, namely Easter related stuff. She has just finished a purple egg and is working on a blue one. We see the same purple and blue egg popsicles to the far left of the collage, which would be the wild, wild west as well.

bb:

Alright.

Hucka D.:

Aquaman[ with his Trident Streams] *use* to be there, standing on the blue egg. Presently it’s Superman positioned there instead. A bunny stands between the 2 eggs, waving merrily at passer bys. He’s a happy Easter bunny. He (or she) and Superman stand the same way.

Another bunny is directly below. It’s a reclining Bugs Bunny from the popular Warner Brothers cartoon series, uttering his most famous line: “What’s Up Doc?”. This is the same name as an important variant album by The Residents standing on rocks in the other half of the overall work. This is *their* bunny. Questions?

bb:

“What’s Up Doc” by The Residents Variants has been used recently in Carrcass-10, Hucka D. And more recently *Chuck* has come to see me. We walked the Bunny Trail over at Frank Park while he was here, talking about audiovisual synchronicities such as Carrcass-10 in the main. I counted 19 rungs on the bridge crossing the brook emptying from Bunny Pond. This is the same as the number of tracks off “What’s Up Doc?”.

Hucka D.:

I hear he has uncovered a body.

bb:

That could be so. At any rate, he’s treating the situation like there’s a body in his back side yard. I suppose there are bodies buried all over the place, especially in ancient places like Europe.

Hucka D.:

Uerope.

bb (looking again):

Big Bob is also in Collage 02, or at least part of his head, including the mouth. The mouth just touches the Celina woman’s head. What’s her name?

Hucka D.:

Marge. Or Jeffries.

bb:

Hmmm.

Hucka D.:

Short for Margerine. Butter isn’t better in this case.

bb:

Good to know.

Hucka D.:

Big Bob is desparately trying to speak[ to Marge]. Buttering her up?

bb:

Dunno, Hucka D. (looks again) It’s his eye she’s holding, after all.

Hucka D.:

He wishes to become whole. Yin and yang together. Taijitu. I like saying that.

bb:

You’re slurring the word, however. Just an observation.

Hucka D.:

I slur a lot of words.

bb:

Anyway, on the right side of Collage 02 we have several images of Superman, with one inverted in color. This brings him quite close to the colors of his colleague in crime fighting: Aquaman. I guess one could say that Superman rules the skies and Aquaman the seas.

Hucka D.:

Correct. Emotions.

bb:

He’s helping free Richard Prior from the rocks in Collage 03. He then flies him away to safety[ in the blue skies]. In a recent blog post I compared Superman to the “I” of TILE and Prior to the “y” of complementary Tyle.

supermanpryor03

Hucka D.:

That is correct again. Emotions.

bb:

Accompanying inverted Superman at the right hand top is a mashup of Fairuza Balk and Megan Follows, who played Anne Shirley and Dorothy Gale respectively. They’re in character here. Fairuza wears Megan’s hat — borrows her carrot colored pigtails for a bit.

Hucka D.:

That’s Red Head of course. Your new space. Have you built the Cabin yet?

bb:

Not yet.

Hucka D.:

It’s already there[ anyway]. You can see it if you try.

bb:

Interesting. Inverted Superman kind of covers the awkward section of the mashup of the two girls, Hucka D. [One of] his colors matches the orange hat of Anne. The orange ray from the flag in Collage 03 emits towards this hat as well. Orange points to orange. That’s the flag of Mercer County, which has Celina as the county seat. It is the rainbow. Minus one color.

Hucka D.:

Indigo.

bb:

Could be.

Hucka D.:

The I’s have it.

bb:

I suppose they could.

Hucka D.:

Superman rescues Prior from the Past. He becomes not Prior but Present. This is rescuing a past self, locked in the rocks of time. Drink is the jailkeeper. He holds the keys. He’s a bad ass.

collage02ac01c

bb:

He looks the role.

Hucka D.:

Stay away from Drink. He’ll bad ass you.

bb (nonplussed):

I will.

—–

Hucka D.:

Drink’s straw points down and Prior’s arm points up a bit. They’re very similarly shaped — too much so. They are one in their opposite directions. Red and blue. Obvious. Good work, baker b.

bb:

Thanks. Of course I didn’t do it.

Hucka D.:

Yes you did. Well… yes and no.

bb:

Thanks once more.

Hucka D.:

Then there’s reclining Baker Blinker whose lower part is hidden by the rocks at the cascade. She *is* the cascades. She balances mate Baker Bloch in the left half of the diptych, standing on his rock. This is archetypal male and female energies as well. Taijitu. How’s that?

bb:

Still slurred.

Hucka D.:

Awww. But Baker Blinker is obviously meant to compare to Bugs Bunny on Baker Bloch’s side of the overall work. Both recline. Both are propping themselves up with their right arm and elbow. Is Baker Blinker mimicking Bugs?

bb:

Not sure.

Hucka D.:

Anyway, we know all about the curse of Baker Blinker by Drink from early in the Baker Blinker Blog — her blog. You have your own blog now. Baker Bloch Blog.

bb:

That’s Frank and Herman, Einstein!, yes. The Baker Blinker Blog is my first blog, from 2008-2012. Just adding that in for more comprehension on the part of the reader or readers.

Hucka D.:

You will have a 3rd blog. Then you will be a Whitehead in Da Woods.

bb:

Retired.

Hucka D.:

Yes. You will be surprised. I can’t say stuff.

bb:

Go on.

Hucka D.:

The small cottage to the far left of Collage 03 is currently positioned on a rock in Harrisonia, on the same creek that contains this cascade here but further upstream. About a mile upstream I’m estimating. The stream itself is named Harrison… George Harrison. George Harrison Creek in full. It’s source comes from Herman Park. The source is protected. Harrisonia is not protected. These cascades are *not* protected.

bb:

No. Not at all.

Hucka D.:

The cottage on the rocks here is also the cottage you will build in Red Head when you become a Whitehead.

bb:

I see.

Hucka D.:

And then to complete the description of the diptych we have Quilt Rock, also painted by the Celina woman artist, like she painted the similar quilt-like pants of the waving Easter bunny on the opposite side[ of the diptych]. These 2 are suppose to be associated. Tiny Superman poses in front of each. Do you know why?

bb (admitting):

I don’t know why.

Hucka D.:

He *lives* in the cottage. That’s a hint.

bb:

Still: nothing.

Hucka D.:

It’s *you*. You are Superman. And Aquaman. You are both. Skies and seas. Yin and yang. Get it?

bb:

A little.

Hucka D.:

Who is Drink?
