BM Urban Landscape 07/25/15 02

We temporarily exit the greenway system past the wetlands and bridge pictured before, heading up a side road instead leading to the main highway of the Blue Mountain commercial strip. In the below picture we look up a side road off this side road toward a community hospital. The hospital is not directly on our Urban Landscape beat, however. Not yet anyway.

IMG_0064smaller

About a 100 yards down the same road brings us to this ambulance service building with fronting, cattail dominated wetland, smaller in dimension than the one across the road just passed.

IMG_0065smaller

The main strip. We will only briefly travel beside it…

IMG_0066smaller

… quickly taking a turn into a Holiday Inn.

IMG_0067smaller

Behind this place, we can walk parallel to the side road just traveled, a marshy brook dividing us from it.

IMG_0068smaller

Soon we run across this picnic area also wedged between the two.

IMG_0071smaller

Looking from this area back up the stream. More cattails. My apologies for the overexposed background.

IMG_0074smallest

Then we use the Lowes Grocery Store backlot from here to connect with the Leola Creek paved trail again, emerging from the border bushes near the rusty bridge beside the larger wetland we saw before.

IMG_0075smaller

More interesting objects found behind Lowes. Trinkets of the urban landscape.

BM Urban Landscape 07/25/15 01

In our more detailed tour of the Blue Mountain Urban Landscape, we appropriately start at point “0” according to this map. We are going to move in a general direction from “0” east to “-1”, and then back west through “0” to “+1”, then return. In other words we are doing a type of loop sort of centered around “0”, with extremities of “-1” and “+1”. Kind of.

The photo below starts us under the bridge at “0” It is against the law to loiter here so I moved on quickly after taking a couple of snapshots.

IMG_0032smaller

These rocks across Leola Creek give off a vague Wiltshire vibe in their sarsen-like appearance. Compare to stones from the later, for example, in collage 02 of 2013’s Latona series. There is a possibility that Master Shake could reappear here at Point Zero, inspired by the resonance.

IMG_0035smaller

Another version of a drink, wedged in the branches of a rhododendron. Empty. Appears to be too expensive of a beer for possible homeless bridge people. Are there such people?

IMG_0037smaller

From Point Zero halfway to Point -1, we walk along a registered paved trail, a type of greenway. But it isn’t as busy as some parts lying just north and west of the official Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape. Lying north and west of Point -1, in other words.

The below photo finds us peering through green vegetation toward the back of a restaurant on the other side of Leola Creek. Every time I’ve walked by here music has been pouring from the place — Latin music I believe. A bag lies in the branchs of a nearby bush. I’m scared to examine it closer.

IMG_0038smaller

Trail heading west. To the right exists a Lowes Grocery Store and its vast parking lot. To the left is vegetation bordering Leola Creek.

IMG_0039smaller

A defaced birch tree. NS, HC and CS should be ashamed of themselves.

IMG_0040smaller

A break area probably used by Lowes employees. It has been designed as a memorial to a man named Steve D., perhaps a past employee of some note. I’ll have to do more research on that.

IMG_0049smaller

Continuation of the wall westward. Lots of robins in the vicinity. Suppose I could call this Robin Wall or Robins’ Wall, then.

I’ve also found who Steve D. is. Former store manager. Native of Michigan.

IMG_0051smaller

Contrasting neighboring sewer covers. One grassy, one not.

IMG_0053smaller

Interesting wetlands next to a trail bridge.

Urban Landscape 01

Map of Blue Mountain Urban Landscape, my new hiking focus.

ALO02

More interesting picnic table on the western side, near position “+1” on the map.

IMG_0019smaller

Just across the stream we have a geodesic dome church. The table seems matched to the shape of the structure. Interesting collection of rocks near the stream bank here as well. What is the stream name? I know the name in Real Life. What is it in this blog? I’m going to call it Leola Creek for now (not Bristle Creek).

IMG_0022smaller

More picnic tables, matched to themselves this time, and even closer to position “+1” on the above map. I think they might refer to conjoined positive and negative poles of a magnet. Is the Blue Mtn. Urban Landscape itself a magnet?

IMG_0026smaller

33543-bar-magnet-120x22x10mm

If the central creek’s name running between “+1” and “-1” in the landscape is Leola, then this is a pivotal point on it called ALO, a related term.

IMG_0027smaller

ALO is composed of a secret, hidden trail next to Leola Creek. Turning away from the creek while standing in place brings this additional, mysterious structure into view. Could it possibly be the skeleton of another geodesic dome? Seemingly we have reached True Center.

IMG_0028smaller

Sunday as I walked the landscape with my wife, I joked to her that I wanted to buy the property adjacent to ALO where this mysterious wooden skeleton is found. She half believed me, and actually got a little upset about it. I believe it 1/3rd myself, which is something.

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.

Collage 11 Interpretation 02 > Collage 12

(continued from)

rainbowmenexcerpt04
“Rainbow Men” excerpt: beer drinking Jackalope

This central image from Collage 11 is obviously akin to 12 Oz Mouse from the first collage of the tetraptych, or “Animation Nation”. Both are multiple beer drinking animals of “X Brand” variety…

fitz01
“Animation Nation” excerpt: beer guzzling 12 Oz Mouse

12 Oz Mouse is also found in the 3rd collage of the tetraptych (“Holey”), leaning over to stare at a hole. He leans the opposite way there from a drinking position. Is he sobering up instead? Seeing the hole that is his life as an alcoholic rodent?

Anyway, another thing to remark about is that the left part of the jackalope image above is cut off on the *center line* of Collage 11. Likewise 12 Oz Mouse’s hole is cut in 2 by the left edge of Collage 10 before this. The effect helps further unite the 2 characters.

The jackalope, or at least his head (her head?), has made one other appearance in my collages that I recall, and we’ve already reviewed it a bit in the last post here: Sam Parr 09. I’ll throw up the picture again. Or insert it in this post again, I mean.

samparr10test07h

And Karoz again appears in a collage with this animal. The jackalope wears the body in Collage 11, as it were, of Sam Parr Model (SPaM). The blue robot of the red-blue-7 Stones pairing perches on her shoulder. The antlers make a shape similar to that of Sam Parr Lake, whose outline appears in the center of Collage 10 (blue, coral like growth sprouting from wall vegetation). So the jackalope represents Sam Parr in multiple forms. The Falmouth Rabbit appears in the landscape below it, the central figure of Collage 11 and the focus. A smaller Karoz’s head indicates it by pointing and mirroring. In drafts of Collage 11, I had this little Karoz appearing on the foot of the drinking jackalope. Now the larger image of Karoz is all that’s left, but in both parts of the animation and in two different positions. He appears to fall from the wall, originally held by the cartoon homeless man from Aqua Teen, but somehow also turning around in the fall to “land” on his head, which is the same as the head of Scatman Cruthers at the foot of the wall. A surreal impossibility in other words — collage liberties. Much like a giant and small Karoz appear together in that Sam Parr collage: perspective distortion there.

The orange bottle and also the orange squares on the back of the truck behind him reinforce the association of 12 Oz Mouse in “Animation Nation” with the central orange jackalope in Collage 11. The orange is also reinforced in the multiple Meatwads in the same collage, but, moreover, the orange m&m to his above right, the one watching the Fall of Dorothy from the White House. Another resonance with the Meatwads is accidental: Part of his antler was cut off when I edited the overall animation — this would be in part 2. I left the mistake in because it seems to mirror Meatwad’s “hand” *extending* from his body in part 2 and touching Shake, simultaneously turning him into a Rainbow Man himself.

“Are we done with this one Hucka D.?”

—–

Since Hucka doesn’t seem to be around this morning let’s assume we are and move into Collage 12, which is the last one of the Stonethrow series and called “Triumph of the Toys”. The Red Fox appears again, just like she did in Sam Parr 10 (coming after Sam Parr 09 just discussed above). This is probably a Peter Gabriel image again, balancing his appearance in the first collage of the tetraptych perhaps: Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’s character Rael, as opposed to Foxtrot’s anthropomorphized fox here. This fox represents an endpoint. The music from the album Foxtrot is used in a more recent synch I’ve named Carrcass-6. This carrcass also features video excerpt from 12 Oz Mouse, some of which is dubbed by the Foxtrot music.

collage12atest08

Here we have part 1 of the two part animation that is “Triumph of the Toys”… there’s the red fox I’m speaking about against a rock wall in the mid-ground. Almost beside her is a green mossman with scepter in left hand. Above him is a giant Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame, head against the sky. He’s staring at another sky head, golden in color but about to turn red and erupt, as it were. A row of toy blocks is arranged in the foreground, spelling TOYS itself. Master Shake again looks on from the right, but he appears to be asleep in part 1.

collage12btest11

In part 2 he appears to be jolted awake by Mossman, who has continued to move forward and is now standing on the toy blocks. His *right* arm has become transparent and extending, holding a multi-chromatic ball *triumphantly*. This is the triumph of the toys (whatever that really means). Hucka D. is still not here to help me. I’m going to make some guesses.

We’ve mentioned that the red fox of the present collage is also found in the last collage of the Sam Parr series also found in The Red Umbrella gallery: Sam Parr 10. Last collage reflects last collage in this way. And I’m also thinking there’s another resonance: I believe the fact that the 4 colors of TILE are found in that pile of objects that Mossman passes to his right on his way to the toy blocks — red, green, blue, yellow — also allows us to tie this into Sam Parr 10 in the similar 4 colors of TILE making up the stage to the left.

samparr10teset02b
Sam Parr 11: “The Stage” (part 2 of 2 part animation)

In particular, I believe the wooden shelves or whatever they are, covered in plastic in “Triumph” can be paralleled with the tiny studio appearing on this TILE surrounded stage in the Sam Parr collage. Does the passing Mossman then equal The Master’s charismatic religious figure Lancaster Dobb (source image for Sam Parr 11)? And does he champion TILE instead of The Cause, if so? The ball he triumphantly holds high in the air contains all the TILE colors in one, chromatic whole. His scepter has been switched from right to left hand in the process. The eyes in the formerly golden head of the far background, high on the mountains apparently, have erupted redness like a volcano. What is the triumph? Obviously this has something to do with the story of Mossman Gene Fade of Frank and Herman Parks. I don’t think Mossman appears in any of the other collages in the Red Umbrella, although he is found in other Collagesity gallery works.

Where does this Mossman get the ball? Did the fox pass it on to him? Or does it represent the TILE colored pile of objects he also passes by in moving from mid-ground to foreground? We have more questions than answers here. Why am I not surprised. We’ll have to wait until Hucka D. wakes up much later on to further our investigation, if needed.

Whiteyes

(continued from)

collage05test07

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.

collage02ac01c

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.

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.

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?
