Autumn

Okay so I've been slacking on the blog this week but I swear I will get my two entries done. Here is a post that I actually wrote about in my notebook first so that I wouldn't forget exactly how I wanted it to sound. So here it goes...

I have been watching the seasons change rapidly lately and I can't seem to get these images out of my head. When my mind begins to wonder I start picturing these images, and thinking about them. I would like to create some work about it, but I am not sure what that will be yet, (I took some photos today I will post them below). Lately I just can't stop looking st the ground and the world around me, I see it changing everyday, every minute, all of the time, I find this fascinating. There are various types of leaves, colors and textures piling up on the sidewalks recently and when the combination of the weather and the traffic of marching feet rush by over time impressions of the leaves begin to emerge. They are like drawings, or ink sanguine ink stains on the sidewalk from these deteriorating, biodegradable pieces of colored material. What I fins interesting is that many of these markings have great detail when fresh and eventually fade over a few days. There are also these smudges that seem to be pulling off of the leaf drawings that develop over time, and I can figure out exactly why this happens, but it pleases me in an aesthetic way and they seem to suggest movement, which I really like. I think of these markings that can be seen all over the city as collaborative works between nature, unconscious human activity and time which leaves an attractive residue on the pavement. So next time you are walking on the city sidewalks take a few moments and look down; just be careful of object in your path (such as lamp posts) and other pedestrians.
