Is it emerging or submerging – and what is ‘it?’

Made from loads of photographs of bubbles! First time in a long while since I went into a shop to buy some, ‘Pooh’s Heffalump Movie Bubbles’! Built up in layers with all the planets featured, from left to right, Uranus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Venus, Earth, Neptune and Saturn. Thanks and credit have to go to N.A.S.A. as my telescopic lens wasn’t up to the job of the planets!

A Lonely Planet In the Middle of Nothingness
by onetonshadowIt was March 2005, somewhere near St Kilda....
It was March 2005, somewhere near St Kilda. I was sitting in a room, on a sofa propped on milk crates, staring at the ceiling. Around my neck was a Philadelphia collar and in my hand was a bottle of gin. The collar was the only sign that I had recently broken my C1, 2 & T1 the gin was to stop me thinking about it. I was staring at the ceiling because it was reasonably tricky to stare anywhere else. I sat quietly contemplating my future. Next to me was a chap called Christopher Lansell, Crispy to his comrades, whom I’d known about 8 minutes. He started talking about some things, wild, imaginative things, I started to reply, and back he came with more, this went on quite successfully for a while. One of these crazy things was an idea he’d been playing with to install a 1:1 billion scale model of the Solar System somewhere in Melbourne. It seemed quite a good idea to me. Almost without any warning at all it was 9am on December 10 of that year, my return ticket to the UK forgotten in the back of a drawer somewhere, and 6 months out of date, my neck visible to all who cared to glance. I’m crouched at the door to our St Kilda studio, attempting to drill a hole into Pluto, except this Pluto is only 2mm in diametre, which makes it very tricky. And in half an hour it’s meant to be on a plinth somewhere near Port Melbourne. / / / / Building the Sun Having drummed up some media interest through an interview on ABC radio and an article in The Age and spent a few months constructing the Sun and nine planets by hand we were actually within minutes of taking our disjointed conversation live. / / / / / Painting the Planets / Planet bases Pluto / Mars / Neptune / Saturn / Jupiter / Having finally secured Pluto to it’s stand, we threw all the models in the back of a trailer and hightailed it to the beach, as we roared along the approach to the marina there was a sudden, and slightly sickening crunch. Crispy braked, we looked at each other in silent fear, then out through the back window of the Toyota. Rolling down the road in the vague direction of Acland Street was a 1.39m golden ball of plywood and satin. Hmmm. We exited the car at speed and, to the amusement of the residents, sprinted off after the star. It was not entirely unscathed, but it was still presentable, and anyway, we were out of time. The weekend was long and disgustingly hot, but the model was a success, large numbers of families turned up on their bikes, with their children, The Age article folded in their pockets, planning to ride the full 6km route to Pluto. And being mid summer the beach and passing traffic was plentiful. Seeing kids stand under the 1.28cm hand painted sphere that was Earth (I even managed to dust the Himalayas with some snow) and point out Australia before running 150m to the Sun and smacking it with their ice cream stained hands was quite rewarding. / Earth, a man with a beard & the Moon, which is as far as Man has ever actually travelled, allegedly. (But not the man with the beard, he may have been no further than Geelong, I don’t know) Mars / The Sun / / / By Sunday night we were knackered but content. Then things started getting interesting. Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet rang us up, said he’d heard about the project but had been out of the country and wondered if he could come and see the models, we, unsurprisingly said yes. Then the council rang us up and said they’d had a lot of calls from the general public asking when they were going to do the project again. They said they hadn’t done it in the first place. It was about this point that words like ‘permanent’ began to appear in conversations. We found a sculptor, Cameron Robbins, an eccentric and extremely talented man based in Collingwood, and commenced talks with the council. It was estimated at costing around $70,000, and so the tedious process of money raising became the focus, Tony pledged a large sum of his personal finances, as did some universities. Things looked good. Then the university pulled out, and we experienced our first wedge of bureaucratic council red tape. Things look bad. And that high and low was a microcosm of how it progressed for the next two years. With a hefty focus on the ‘This is just never going to happen’ line of thought. But now, three years and six months after a conversation on a sofa in St Kilda, there are some people down at the foreshore tidying up the metre high bluestone plinths the planets rest on, and no doubt someone polishing the 360kg of bronze that makes up the Sun, in preparation for the opening on September 21. And I’m going to miss it, because I’m in London, so if you have nothing better to do please pop down to the reserve north of the Marina at 4.45, take some photos, get yourself an epic sense of how fragile and unique Earth really is and give Crispy some support for the endless phone calls and meetings and rolls and rolls of tape he’s deftly sliced through. Pouring the bronze Planets / Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus cooling off / Half of the Sun / All of the Sun / Polishing the Sun / The sculptor Cameron Robbins next to polished Sun / Saturn / Venus, Mars, Earth, Mercury & Pluto (yeah it’s not a planet anymore, but it was then) / Pouring concrete base for the Sun / Diamond saw cutting bluestone plinths for the planets / Plinths being lifted into place / / The Sun being moved into place / / / / Model Location / And if you ever see anyone chasing an enormous shining sphere down a road, go and give them a hand.

8 – Process Reflection The eighth house of Scorpio and Pluto, with the element of Water – Influences this month, in addition to your personal natal aspects. The 8th House re-presents our sharpening and directly sexual appetite, money we acquire by our own efforts, and more traditionally – the house of death – of old ways and the beginning of a new life. This is the house that deals with emergencies and how we handle them. The side that deals with agony and ecstasy, with sex, death, and all manner of mergers, financial or otherwise. This house also holds information about surgeries, therapy and the way we generate after loss. Examples: House of Generation (sex), degeneration or regeneration; regeneration through enlargement of viewpoint, both spiritual and mental; death and the manner of it; rules the astral (psychic) plane and people with planets here have often brought over a legacy of sensitivity to invisible currents – often afflicted, having been involved in the misuse of psychic abilities (especially Mars/Neptune); partners’ possessions and financial conditions; a celestial messenger in disguise, a challenge to penetrate this disguise and become the recipient of the blessing it bears; other peoples’ resources – stocks, inheritance, death and closure. ©TKRosevear 2007 / Excerpt from Chapter One/Earthly Cycles – Sailing through the 7C’s Full Story

12 – Thriving Survival The twelfth house of Pisces and Neptune, with the element of Water – Influences this month, in addition to your personal natal aspects. The 12th House re-presents our need for seclusion, faith and institutions. It is linked to hospitals and prisons with regards to the root of psychological and/or unconscious behaviors. This is the house that ‘hides’ your secrets, the side of you that only comes out when you are alone. It is the house where you keep all your traits and behaviors that you were taught to stifle or deny. House of Karma. Examples: House of drawn shades, that which is hidden; the subconsciousness attitudes that are a hangover from the past; house of self-undoing, frustration, limitation and confinement; initiation and ultimate understanding; service or suffering; House of charity, given or received; House of Karma – the law of cause and effect from which there is no escape, without atonement or attunement to that which is above and beyond the law; the Grace of God; the Unconscious. ©TKRosevear 2007 / Excerpt from Chapter One/Earthly Cycles – Sailing through the 7C’s Full Story

Cover Design for Calendar Astrological Houses – the houses reflect the circumstances we create and encounter as we make our way through life. The sign/planet on the cusp of each house is like the door to the “room”. From the month, day, time and place of your birth, until NOW and forever – you will cyclically return to each of these houses, and their influences on your personality. Example: If you were born on 6-9-1969, your 1st House would be June 9th, through July 8th; 2nd House-July 9th thru August 8th; 3rd House-August 9th thru September 8th; 4th House-September 9th thru October 8th; 5th House – October 9th thru November 8th; 6th House – November 9th thru December 8th; 7th House – December 9th thru January 8th; 8th House – January 9th thru February 8th; 9th House – February 9th thru March 8th; 10th House – March 9th thru April 8th; 11th House – April 9th thru May 8th; 12th House – May 9th thru June 8th. And, it begins again, with the following influences, as well as whatever ‘personal’ aspects are part of your “Natal Birth Chart”. Learning with this tool, observing our interaction with the cycles of nature, establishes our connection with the Universe and ‘feeling’ that everything flows in our lives, cyclically. It offers the opportunity to learn more about our unique rhythm and the wonder of the synchronistic alignment. The date, time and place of our birth was no accident, and our ‘destiny’ is in our personal astrological chart, making life and what it offers, a little bit easier to understand and process. It also gives a little insight to events and changes that are coming, so that we may prepare for them, in a healthy way – rather than take them as a victim or personally. ©TKRosevear 2007 / Excerpt from Chapter One/Earthly Cycles – Sailing through the 7C’s Full Story Available as Personalized Calendar and Monthly Cards ZODIAC

/ Click them / / / / Featured at the Mecha Mecca group on November 25th 2008 Featured at the Sci-fi group on November 25th 2008 Featured at the Graphic Editing 101 group on November 27th 2008 Featured at the Photographers Self-portrait group on December 14th 2008 Thank you all! Whew… it’s now 2:00 a.m. and I’m done with this. Including make-up and taking the photo of myself, photoshop, etc 4 1/2 hours of work. I felt the need to make something. I haven’t made a single new piece of art since September and I felt out of touch with myself (yeah everything so far that I’ve poster was “older” work). This is pretty much the vision I had, not quite what I wanted, but my artwork usually never ends up exactly as I had wanted it. I love it regardless. I originally wanted hot pink hair but couldn’t find the right wig that I own that would work for that. This character is kinda like the controller of time, the god Chronos or also known as “Pluto” the god of death and time. Living at the end of time, if you make it angry it’ll warp you into another dimension lol.

Pluto—this was the cat’s name—was my favorite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets.

With Earth as the leader, the planets of the Solar System have turned against poor Pluto excluding him from their group of planets. He is now demoted to a dwarf planet. This contemporary themed image is build upon events in which Pluto was degraded and reclassified to a dwarf planet. It is now no longer part of the classic line of planets in our Solar System as I’ve been used to. It’s strange when you’ve been able to memorize the planets ever since you were a kid and for the future will have to leave this little icy rock out. I liked doing a smaller and less extensive project for a change. I had this simple idea, and worked on/off for about a week before completing this. I had great fun stuffing as many little funny details into the image as I could, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it! Visit MathiasPedersen.com to see more of my artwork.

Poor old Pluto. Demoted from planet to dwarf planet, or worse … panetoid! In 2006 the International Astronomical Union ruled that Pluto was no longer a planet, leaving just eight planets proper in our Solar System. For the record, a planet is: / “A celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and© has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.” (IAU Resolution B5) Pluto satisfies (a) and (b), but not©: there are other things sharing its orbit around the Sun. Bigger planets, with stronger gravitational fields, plough everything else out of the way as they go around the Sun. Pluto is just too small to make that kind of impact. Off you go now, Pluto. It’s been fun.

featured in Live, Love, Dream straight from the box:Nikon P80;10mm;f/3.5;1/20 second;ISO 400 This is one of the large columns within the Luray Cavern complex in Virginia, named for the Roman god of the underworld. Luray Caverns are the largest caverns in the eastern USA and a National Landmark. Some of the most spectacular creations were formed just one drip at at time, such as Giant’s Hall, vast expansive chambers decorated by predominately golden columns, 10-stories tall. The gold colors come from iron and clay soils seeping from the ground along with the calcium carbonate “drips.” Just some of Luray’s other impressive formations include: Titania’s Veil — primarily all white, and formed by pure crystalline drips / Frozen Fountain — a massive, somewhat rounded white flowstone / Empress Column — a golden column is formed when a stalactite and stalagmite meet. This one is huge! See the world’s largest musical instrument at Luray Caverns, too! The Stalacpipe Organ is played from a regular-size organ, but its organ pipes are the stalactites themselves, spreading over 3.5 underground acres, and wired with little rubber mallets.
