Base

Above is the base, and immediately below a “tear” or “scar” in the same bush planted in a row about three years ago for a small Wallingford home, that is now vacant, one of the few in their neighborhood that have abandoned because of the burst in the bubble. Not the bubbles on the leaves of this plant, which was photographed in the first week of January 2010. The detail below was chosen to introduce to interrupt the coming pattern with some asymmetry. When – of if – learn Photoshop and the powers of its “layers” I’ll be able to add much else that will interfere with the regularity that inevitably followed multiplying these by four. Below the detail follows a numbered enlargements that conclude with a montage that would be suitable for a quilt or a ceiling. I do these – and by now scores of them – to relax with some of the same delight that must come with knitting and coin collecting. It is, I suspect you know, all very easy to do with the rudiments of the program.
