Ibex and zion

 first there are dutch moonscapes, then there is ibex, on the shore of a desolate lakebed in western Utah, a place to hunt for trilobites.



Ibex is a climbing destination in the west desert.












 the museum in Delta offered many varieties of trilobites, and a room where the rocks glowed in the dark.





 then there is Zion, traditionally thought of as a place of refuge, that is Zion is the city of peace where the pure in heart live. new goal: work in a gas station on the freeway for a month. Or perhaps a series of gas stations. Once I decided this, I started treating the people working at the rest stops a little differently...how did you get to work here?  Where are you from? Who chooses the music?

secret alphabet of the aspen








  the snowy trail at twilight, the secret alphabet of aspens, marching through the subconsciousSalt Lake Valley on a clear day in the winter snow
 little pins, pitons, mezuzah, rusted nails


 glitter paintings, the Rees boat painting


 the wall painting's secret alphabet, the orange wall

 the George Bellows, the cold winter river and the steamy boxing ring





and the blue sky on Mt. Olympus

collections


 in the winter, this view looks a little like a Bruegel painting, now with a dinosaur, tent made out of leaves and a little black bear.
other mythical collections

 including  dioramas of Antarctica, from the London Museum of Natural History, from the penguins point of view



 and collections of fossils, rocks and leaves on a Sunday afternoon in Kensington
