an acknowledgment of the bounty in the immediate landscape
Despite being urban confined there is much in the way of wilderness. Indeed I often wonder where the countryside ends and the city begins. Is there an exact point that can be seen or more likely a gradual fading of one into the other. But both are in their own way industrial and not indicative of natural or nature. In fact both are indications of mans, and I use this word in its full patriarchal meaning, desire to conquer, own and manipulate to his own end the bounty of the earth. But nature seeps through here and there in neglected corners, in the margins and in the forgotten places. Here it lingers and sometimes flourishes devoid of manners and meaning, without balance , it thrives on neglect and abandonment.
