Plaque of the Lumeme: Faerie Traces

This one is just outside linear Paris, Illinois on the Durkee Faerie Trace (you can see it in the second shot).But this honors both a rare insight into the culture of the Tehachapi as well as a window into the life of Amory Frontage. It is a little difficult to read because of the angle, but you should be able to.faerie traces plaqueAnd here’s a view where you can see the surrounding landscape–and the old Trace as well:wide faerie trace

Plaque of the Lumeme: Land of the Warres

warres plaqueEvery lumeme (roughly every 5 days), we’ll be posting a new plaque. This time, it’s one in linear Cleveland, and it concerns creatures without metabolism, known as Warres.Their structure of their accretions still affects waterfront areas through out what we call the Great Lakes, and other areas as well. The dedication ceremony was fantastic with a wild tour through some of the still surviving cleves and other structures.Here’s a wider view:cleveland wide shot

Edge of the Hongsedaun

Soria

Another image from Soria, Spain, showing clearly the edge of the hongsdaun near linear Losana, as it gives way to the green. We’ll be doing more research here over the next couple of months and are planning for an installation there this summer. Watch this space!!!

One of the so-called red towns

soria

In Soria, Spain, I visited one of the hongsedaun–or “red towns.” These were interpreters villages that were often located at the periphery of one of the lichen gwomes. They specialized in translating the lichen poetry as well as the maps that could be seen in the lichen gwomes–beautiful work. But there was always a tension between the lichen and their interpreters and many of these towns were destroyed, some would say suspiciously, after the great battle off the coast of what we would call Namibia which sent fragments of desert shattering to earth around the Kymaaran world.
