All the Recent Nature Mirrors

Here are all my recent Nature Mirror photo collages so far. Started them this June and have been posting them on Facebook, but wanted to have them here on the blog too.

They are in a slideshow, with thumbnails below. Click the thumbnail for a larger image.

On My Screen Today

Here’s how it looks to me – with my desktop background as an image of inside a sweat lodge, and the edge of my twitter background, thought I’d share it here. Actually, I spend more time on twitter than here at the blog, so please join me there, and say Hi! http://twitter.com/carolsill.

Collage911

Continuing my infatuation with slideshare, here’s another group of collages. This series was begun in late August of 2001, completed just before 9/11, so it has a certain metaphysical significance for me.

If you are viewing this from the feed, and can’t see the slides, please go here.

Collages on Slideshare

 

I’m really having some fun with slideshare, so have put together this little group of images.They are digital collage artwork reflecting aspects of consciousness, some of which were shown at the Digitalis 2: The Spiritual in Digital Art exhibition.

My New Special Interest Bookstore

I’ve finally put together some of my earlier writings, self-published at Lulu, which has given me a storefront, Carol’s Special Interest Bookstore. It’s all still in process, but I’m happy to say that at least it has started. Now the two books there are just the beginning, and the facsimile book is still in a draft form, no doubt it will need to be revised. But, I thought, why not just do it? Instead of only working on material for others, I should also put out some of the writing I’ve done for myself. Watch that space, there’s more to come. I’m using Lulu for work that has a very limited appeal, and am still not sure about using it for work that I know will have a wider audience. Not because their print on demand isn’t great, it’s very good. But because they are in the US. Not a problem for anyone ordering a single copy, the cost is under the customs radar. But any Canadian volume more than that could be more costly than a local printer.

Here’s a page from the facsimile book:

Collage Series Order

The collage series below is posted in reverse order from its actual creation – it should read in the order that it’s in as a flickr set, with Emergence of the Serpent of Wisdom first, and the Pavilion of Mystery last.

Pavilion of Mystery

Pavilion of Mystery, originally uploaded by Carol Sill.

Calming down and returning to peace, meditation and the mysteries of night. Red birds and green foliage give a jungle feeling to the pavilion, where a meditator in contact with the planetary forces calms the wild horse of mind, his face showing the light of wisdom.

Let’s Rock (again)

Let’s Rock, originally uploaded by Carol Sill.

The world is tilted, off kilter. Waves crash and buildings topple, while Tibetan shamanic dancers tell the tale in movement. Above, in a pavilion, a rock band pounds out the tune. It is a cosmic unbalance, and world rocks to find equllibrium. ( I had posted this before, but wanted to put it in again so it could be seen in series.)
