DREAMING TREE
Come be with me awhile
Under the spell of my
dreaming tree,
Where in silence we can hear the whispers
Of what has gone and what
still may be.
Tangle Goblinsprite’s Gate
joy and laughter to all he sees.
Living deep inside tangled gardens of ivy,
he is only seen in the light of a shooting star.
Crann Bethadh
The
balance and harmony which is observed in nature can be best symbolized with the
Tree of Life (crann bethadh). The
Celtic people attributed the tree of life symbol to qualities such as wisdom,
strength, longevity and rebirth. The
seasonal changes that the Celts observed in trees became part of various
rituals which were performed to recognize, honor and celebrate birth, death and
rebirth.
Inunnguaq
Inunnguaq are stone
landmarks or cairns representing the human form. They were used by the Inuit, Inupiat,
Kalaallit, Yupik and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America. These objects are found from Alaska to
Greenland, a region dominated by desolate tundra with very few landmarks. The inunnguaq and inuksuk (solitary stone
blocks or cairns) may have been used for navigation, markers for hunting or
fishing camps or places of veneration.
Tolkien's Autumn
Winter sent its breath in a wind
Raking the golden leaves of Tolkien
That just the day before let go
And now he stands with naked limbs
Waiting for his cloak of snow
The Garden Keep
Guarding
the front door of our home, this foam fortification stands proudly in the
garden among the snapdragons and the lilies of the valley. Impervious to the
elements, it adds beauty and interest while welcoming humans and cat-folk
alike. Along with the piece
“Styroglyphics”, the garden keep is among a half-dozen polystyrene works that
adorn both the interior and exterior of our Lansing home.
STYROGLYPHICS
Designed as a
tribute to honor my family, this modern take on the art of ancient Egypt,
depicts some of our passions, pastimes and professions.
My husband, Jeff
(portrayed as Anubis) is depicted grilling, playing guitar and directing, while
our son, Jack, is seen playing his X-Box, studying and enjoying his favorite
passion…eating! All the while I am
tending to my flower garden, bike commuting and partaking of the fruits of the
Earth!!The cartouches
include our family name, Kennedy, along with our first names and the
hieroglyphics across the upper portion represent
Live
Long and Prosper and May the Force Be With You.
Other
hieroglyphics and symbols represent our favorite books, games, musicians and
some of the titles of the Independent movies both Jeffrey and I have worked on
through CDI:
Knight Chills, From
Venus, Heaven’s Neighbors, & Figure in the Forest
“Styroglyphics”
hangs year-round on our back patio and is one of a half-dozen foam creations
that adorn both the inside and outside of our Lansing home.
