Lonely by Emmanuel Malin

fixed my net/weaves to the gaps on my left wall :’)

i’m very pleased with them, especially as i very nearly almost had enough panels to cover all of the showing cotton sheets. stapled them to stretch them out again, like they were on my weaving frame. i tried to punch in as few staples as i could, and have the edges close enough to threads bits between the panels. i think the last picture illustrates how easy it will be to loop something across from one piece to another.

(this left wall has much less flour-paste on it because under the brown/burgundy sheet is the plug socket ! so i don’t want to accidentally electrocute myself or inadvertently ruin the studio, and i’m still not sure if i’m going to place some kind of light inside - but if i do then i’ll need the plug socket to be available…)

Ginnungagap

Ginnungagap (“seeming emptiness”), in the cosmology of Norse mythology, is the primordial void separating Niflheim and Muspell, the land of eternal ice and snow and the land of eternal heat and flame.

recurrent thoughts  of the all father and his ravens - huginn and muninn.

idle daydreams and speculation, but with frequency (unintentionally) viewing images seemingly everywhere of the birds at odin’s shoulders or ablaze in the sky like strange dark stars…

the birds (Huginn from Old Norse: “thought” and Muninn from Old Norse: “memory” or “mind”) fly all across the earth, observing what is passing in each realm, hearing what is said and seeing all things, and return to asgard at dinner time to report to the all father what they have seen.

    O’er Mithgarth Hugin and Munin both
    Each day set forth to fly;
    For Hugin I fear lest he come not home,
    But for Munin my care is more.

[in this carving, odin’s arms/hands are replaced with the upper bodies of the birds]

larger weave that feels more secure than the other.

most of the strands are tied on separately so, hopefully, i can reduce on endemic slackness.

it has a combination of small holes and bars all traveling in the same direction, which will give the panel (when threaded with foliage) a more self-adherent/cohesive look instead of being a formation of leafy chaos.

what i described to harry as ‘stick holders’.

the idea is to produce fishing net type weaves and then fix them to the wall, where i can thread sticks and grass etc in when at college instead of trying to transport foliage panels on the bus.

crooked still - undone in sorrow

some of the skulls i ordered (seller’s picture) were reduced to dust in transit, but what i have are really sweet.

covering the gaps between things in my space.

masking with bin-liners is a no-go zone.

hence, making natural weave panels that i can pin-up…
