This tree is near an iceage-old stone labyrinth. / A “Troyburg” has the shape of a kidney or maybe / a womb. Rites have been performed to do with / pregnancy and the fruits of love, perhaps. In Finland / these labyrinths are called “virgin dances”. It´s / fascinating that these things are there – and still in use…

drawing 1 for ‘inscriptions’ project. / A3 acrylics on collage, inscriptions in permanent marker and then drawn over with oil pastels. I started with a sketch, created the image digitally with special permission to use local photographer extraordinaries, Draqen and Draganin then used the digital image as a reference for the series. / The ball represents a language. its made up of markings that communicate that language by leaving them like a trail as it evolves. sometimes crossing over the trails of another language and picking up some of those elements. Like French words used in the English language or vise versa. The Inscriptions Series: / - The whole dyptich:

/ Daedelus Watches Oh distinct and drink I do no more / What ever cup you hold. / To watch the war. / To believe the score / I’d never be so bold / Contain my wrath / its there because / I put it where I will / As all these things / we try our wings / and Daedalus watch us still / for feelings plummet / reach now no summit / and stupid is the pill / As I contain these many maim and most the wounds are succoured. For increased lines are felt combined in luckless lackless laggered. All friendship pleasant becomes incessant and divination slopped. Into a mire of woman’s conspire and what I wish of you. You never want, you poor infant, your wishes all come true. I hope for this for all that kiss my heart suspended thither. To take this shot, you will this cost, the arrow from this quiver. Suspend this time complete the rhyme and endless themes considered. This Icarus has paid his cost and will not consider more. For all I weep my sense will creep towards that which I soared. Ken Simm

Honesty Indecent This is not, this is not / it is a world away from fair / since when have they come into their care / and can ignore a full debate / these faceless demons ignoring reason / unequivocally state / that they are the one’s to listen to / no matter you berate / for therapy the lesson be / writing reiterates / For you can’t be / alone with me unless you sign these rules / and who are they to then say nay / they are consuming fools / who take away what is the best / the radical, the sheer, / leaving behind a state of mind / that’s anything but clear / Oh, so you say it is but right / to remove one from this freedom / a calculated treatment fated / a beauty in its season / is what you have / as lesson to the artist / who laid it bare, placed it just there / wonderful protagonist / rage and soon, now at the moon / to compete using all best reason / to say what she may and then relay / with honesty indecent Ken Simm

The Runic Stone at Sparlösa in Sweden / is inscribed on four sides. This side / seems to depict a myth or legend. I have laid it down to make viewing it / a little easier. / The text is damaged but says that / the stone is put up `in memory of / Öjuls…read the runes that are from / the gods…that Alrik cut into the stone´ You may see something else, but the / explanatory text suggests that there are / two great birds, an owl and a crane. / A snake is winding its body round / the birds and may be attacking the / owl… There is also a smaller snake / involved. If you know of a celtic or other myth / about such birds involved in a fight / with a snake or dragon…let me know, / please!

Taken March 7th, 2009, St. Peter’s Basilica , The Vatican. The dome of St. Peter’s was designed by Michelangelo, who became chief architect in 1546. At the time of his death (1564), the dome was finished as far as the drum, the base on which domes sit. The dome was vaulted between 1585 and 1590 by the architect Giacomo della Porta with the assistance of Domenico Fontana, who was probably the best engineer of the day. Fontana built the lantern the following year, and the ball was placed in 1593. / The great double dome is made of brick and is 42.3 metres in interior diameter (almost as large as the Pantheon), rising to 120 metres above the floor. In the early 18th century cracks appeared in the dome, so four iron chains were installed between the two shells to bind it. The four piers of the crossing that support the dome are each 60 feet (18 meters) across. / Uniquely, Michelangelo’s dome is not a hemisphere, but a parabola: it has a vertical thrust, which is made more emphatic by the bold ribbing that springs from the paired Corinthian columns, which appear to be part of the drum, but which stand away from it like buttresses, to absorb the outward thrust of the dome’s weight. Above, the vaulted dome rises to Fontana’s two-stage lantern, capped with a spire. / Surrounding the baldacchino, the canopy over the main altar, are four great piers that support the huge dome. Each pier has a large niche at its base, which is filled with a colossal statue of a saint representing each of the basilica’s four major relics (Reliquae Maggiori): / – NW pier – St Helena, Constantine’s mother, holding a large cross (representing the relic of the True Cross found by the saint in Jerusalem) / – NE pier – St Longinus, the Roman soldier who thrust a spear in the side of Christ at the crucifixion, converted, and was later martyred (the relic is the spear) (statue by Bernini) / – SE pier – St Andrew, with his trademark diagonal cross upon which he was martyred (the relic is Andrew’s head, which was returned to the Greek Orthodox Church in 1964) / – SW pier – St Veronica, with the veil Christ used to wipe his face on the way to Calvary, leaving his image imprinted on it (representing the relic of Veronica’s veil) / The balconies above the niches are flanked by the 4th-century spiral columns of the baldacchino in the Constantinian St. Peter’s, and contain reliefs depicting the relics. Along the base of the inside of the dome is the inscription of Matthew 16:18-19, in letters 8 ft. (2.5m) high: / TV ES PETRVS ET SVPER HANC PETRAM AEDIFICABO ECCLESIAM MEAM. TIBI DABO CLAVES REGNI CAELORVM (You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church…. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.) Near the top of the dome is another, smaller, circular inscription: / S. PETRI GLORIAE SIXTVS PP. V. A. M. D. XC. PONTIF. V. (To the glory of St. Peter; Sixtus V, pope, in the year 1590 and the fifth year of his pontificate.)
