Drizzle is coming !

Drizzle vient !

Fiction or fact?

The year is 7123.
The creature living in the cave has hair or fur covering most of its body. It stands almost upright with large flat feet on the end of legs that has knees that are jointed in a backward manner. The toes on its feet are short with webbing in between. Its short arms culminate in four fingers with claws. Its head with narrow eyes and tiny ear flaps has a long nose a round bulbous appendage with dilated nostrils which continually twitch. Its mouth almost hidden below its nose has the teeth of a carnivore, ready to tear apart anything edible - most of which it sees - is. An omnivore which is easily satisfied by almost any plant or small animal. Its size? It stands about two metres high  but is happy on four legs as two; its back legs propelling it at speed on four legs and at considerable height jumping on two.
It came out of its lair in the misty morning  sniffing the air which at this time of the season was beginning to be filled with the aromas of plants coming into flower. Its mate followed and together they looked across the flooded valley. The first grunted. Between its legs its member became erect as it turned to its mate and without any formality it thrust it into the immediately receptive aperture of its mate. The process was quick and lacking in any finesse. When finished they once more turned and looked across the landscape.
This action was almost the only similarity they had with the human race who had long before occupied the planet.
Some 5000 years before disasters had begun to change the life on planet Earth. All around the globe independent groups had threatened and violated populations of numerous countries in the name of religion, or commercial power struggles. Politicians began to lose control of their party members who split off in groups with indefinite objectives but invariably with a view to lining their own pockets. The distrust of the electors in many countries led to feuds amongst normally peace abiding folk. Anarchy became the credo of communities across the globe. Eventually most of the countries in Europe and Asia were in open hostility within their borders and across them as the groups spread, amalgamated and became more powerful and more violent. The rising temperatures of the planet tended to heat tempers as well as the air.
The breaking down of the borders between heat and cold, between temperate and tropical led to the movement of insects, viruses and parasites into areas where they had hitherto been unknown. Diseases and illness spread like wildfire the health organisations, world wide or national were unable to keep up. Immunities had no time to be accrued by animals or humans. Epidemics were uncontrollable. Death and corruption became commonplace. Certain countries had played with atomic power, exploding huge amounts of weaponry in underground silos. Inevitable leaking of radioactivity from the playthings of ambitious dictators caused genetic deviation in many of the newborn. Defects and weakened body systems rendering them ever more unable to protect themselves from the all invasive toxins that were widespread.
The planet, its peoples overcrowded and underfed lost its fragile equilibrium.
With the heat violent winds brought frequent storms. Rainfall lessened and water shortages became drastic, leaving populations as far North as Britain with an unassuaged thirst. The death toll rose dramatically, while dry winds dehydrated the corpses. The ice of the poles melting faster than normal in the summers had led to a rise in the level of the oceans leaving the atlas maps wildly inaccurate.

In 2317  small groups of survivors in the mountainous areas led their lives in caves where cool air and condensation gave them shelter and enough moisture to survive. They had long since stopped fighting and lusting after power. They had reverted to the survival methods of the prehistoric cave dwellers who had lived some seventy thousand years before them. Life again became a simple question of survival. Their sources of food were the plants and wild creatures who roamed the wilderness around them. The human population continued to decrease as illnesses were incurable; they had not yet the natural instincts for survival as those who had been the first humans who had to learn everything. These present day cave dwellers still had the innate dependence on the skills of others and a reliance on the intelligence of the disappeared scientists. Their numbers dwindled until only a few animals were left.

The following two or three thousand years saw a return of cold; a raw biting cold that brought ice and snow cover over the greater part of the planet. The animals who wore the thickest fur were the natural survivors of this ice age. They hid in the caves and fed off each other, bred between the species producing slowly new and even more hardy creatures that were able to survive until the dawn of  a new time when the climate on this new reshapened planet became more clement and a fresh start could be made.

 Permit me to offer occasional musings. You will realise no doubt that I sometimes dispair of the way society is progressing. i will leave you to judge whether to adopt an optimistic or pessimistic view of the future of the world !

There are ideas and notions appertaining to our society that are worthy of study and others that may be better to ignore. The problem with this is that we have all differing opinions based on what we hear, see and eventually believe. So who can say what is true and what is heresay?

There are those who are in an advantageous position to instill belief or conviction of their particular ideas; or to put their ideas and plans into action to what they consider either their private gain or the Public  good. History is littered with actions which have produced positive good, and sadly many that  have had the reverse effect. The present day is no exception and with the increase in knowledge the actions that may be taken are often devoid of common sense.

As we are told regularly the planet is a fragile object and we humans, as its principal actors, do not always treat it and its components with the respect it deserves to ensure its longevity as a place for animal and plant life to live in harmony and health.

Many problems that we face stem from the demands that we all make for our comfort and convenience which often lead to solutions that through the wonders of science and misplaced scientific knowledge risk in creating more problems than those that may have solved.

Sorting the good from the bad is not always easy. The famous ethereal highway – the Internet – hosts millions of words dedicated to the explanations of the ideas and an almost equal number of contrasting arguments disproving or procreating other points of view.

The apparently mundane subject of aeroplane vapour trails (like hot breath on cold glass) has produced a swarm of ideas from those who suspect these trails are laden with noxious chemicals. The ominous implications of these aeroplane ‘chem trails’, as they have been entitled,  that criss-cross our skies range from weather warfare, schemes on behalf of power seeking politicians, death and destruction, the end of the planet  etc. by authors of controversial  conspiracy theories. Some consider there is regular and intentional spraying of hazardous chemicals over our heads. Most consider the vapour trails are hot gases in very cold air with the minimal chemical fall out to be expected from exhaust fumes. For you to judge !

Like it or not we are surrounded by chemicals in what we breathe, eat or drink; some avoidable, many not. A recent Que Choisir report insinuates that we welcome into our homes many chemicals in cleaning fluids, insect repellents and sprays, plant remedies and the like. They often contain harmful molecules as evil as those used in agricultural pesticides, that have such bad press. Television programmes may tell you that we eat residues of pesticides in the majority of our foods. What they might forget to say is that this majority is well below the legal safety levels. The water we drink is strictly controlled and monitored. What is added to bottled drinks may not always for our best interests.

The entire subject of what we are told we should be afraid of in our daily lives is often subject to exaggeration and misplaced or misinterpreted reporting to make news. As the old adage says there is no smoke without fire but it is not often a raging inferno.

We should be careful to weed out the improbable from the impossible. The sensible from the absurd.

To quote Karl Lagerfeld “Absurdity and anti—absurdity are the two poles of creative energy.” 

That energy we could put to good effect !                     Que Choisir is the French equivalent to Which magazine.

Erwin Peeters (born 1964, works and lives in Belgium)
Erwin Peeters is an autodidact sculptor that fervently continues in the tradition of the Antwerp wildlife artists.
The romanticism of the 19th century has obviously been replaced by a contemporary interpretation of the animal kingdom. The artist demonstrates a powerful simplicity. His amazing power of observation are the result of seven years of working as an animal keeper at the Antwerp Zoo.
His favorite objects include, cougars, eagles, horses, leopards, apes, archetypal creatures with a mythical quality. The portrayed animal receives an added dimension and that’s what art is about.
He creates a spiritual dimension by giving expression to the instinctive character of the animal.

‘Blue Horse’ wall sculpture is the most recent work in the collection of Erwin Peeters. 

Erwin Peeters (Né 1964, travaille et vit en Belgique

Erwin Peeters est un artiste autodidacte qui poursuit la tradition des animaliers Anversois.

Bien entendu, le romantisme du 19^ême siècle est remplacé par une interprétation contemporaine de l’animal. Cet artiste fait preuve d’une simplicité solide et d’un pouvoir exceptionnel d’observation, résultat de sept ans de travail comme soigneur d’animaux au Zoo d’Anvers.

Les sujets favoris sont e.a  le singe, le cheval, l’aigle, le panthère,  tous des animaux archétipiques à valeur mythique. En représentant le caractère instinctif de l’animal, il dépasse le simple portraitage et crée une dimension spirituelle.

 ‘Cheval bleu’ sculpture mural est la dernière création de Erwin Peeters.

 L’instinct et le terrain sont les deux écoles du photographe français Laurent Baheux. Né à Poitiers en 1970, il a d’abord couvert l’actualité effrénée du sport international avant de diriger son regard et ses objectifs vers les contrées sauvages du continent noir pour un travail personnel en monochrome.
Depuis près de 15 ans, le photographe voyage en Afrique de l'Est et Australe, pour constituer une collection d’images de la faune. Avec une approche singulière qui bouscule les codes de la photographie de nature, Laurent cherche à capter la personnalité et l’humanité de chaque animal en tant qu'individu. Il adopte ainsi une démarche de portraitiste animaliste où l'esthétisme et la sensibilité prévalent sur la vision documentaire. Plans serrés ou désaxés, bruit ou grain, noirs denses et profonds, il explore les voies avec comme seule exigence de magnifier son sujet plus que de le représenter.
Le photographe milite activement auprès d’organisations de protection de l’environnement dont le WWF, la fondation GoodPlanet, les associations Cheetah for Ever et Wings4Wildlife. En 2013, il est Ambassadeur de bonne volonté du Programme des Nations Unies pour l’Environnement sur la campagne internationale de sensibilisation anti-braconnage Wild & Precious.
Ses photographies sont présentées en galeries et font l'objet de publications et d'expositions, en France et à l’étranger.


Instinct and the land are French photographer Laurent Baheux's teachers. Born in Poitiers in 1970, he first covered the frantic world of international sports before turning his eye to the wilderness of the dark continent for very personal work in black and white.
Since the age of 15, Laurent has travelled in Eastern Africa and Australia collecting wildlife images. With a singular approach that shakes up the usual rules of nature photography, Laurent attempts to capture the personality and the humanity of each animal as an individual. He has thus becomes a portraitist of the animals, preferring  esthetics and sensitivity to documentation. He uses close-ups and alternative perspectives, grainy or off-kilter framing, deep contrasts, exploring all possibilities to emphasize the singularity of his subjects rather than to merely represent them.
Laurent is very active with environmental and wildlife protection organizations such as the WWF, the GoodPlanet Foundation, Cheetah for Ever and Wings4 Wildlife. In 2013, he was Good Will Ambassador for the United Nations' international campaign called WILD AND PRECIOUS to raise awareness about poaching.
His photographs may be seen in many galleries, publications as well as in exhibits in France and around the world.

 The Secret

Ces six œuvres sont par Em Bryant:                            Six works by Em Bryant

Em Bryant has always been fascinated with animals and credits them withe her original and continuing desire to know them better through art. She is drawn to the animal kingdom for many of her subjects and feels great admiration for four-leggeds. Em has painted various portraits of dogs, cats and horses including Elizabeths Taylor's dog, Sugar.

She is an American citizen (for now) but was raised in Paris by her mother who spent long hours showing her the treasures of major Art galleries

She studied painting at the Grande Chaumière in Paris with Yves Brayer but returned to America in the seventies to pursue an acting career.

After a spell in New Mexico with her husband where she wrote painted and trained mustangs, they came to live in the Limousin when they became disallusioned with American ideals.

**

Em Bryant à été toujours fascinée par les animaux et les attribue avec son désir, au départ et continue, de les comprendre mieux par le biais de l'Art. Elle est attirée par le monde animal pour beaucoup des ses sujets et elle admire profondément les bêtes à quatre patte. Em a peint des portraits des chiens chats, et les chevaux.

Elle est citoyen Américane (pour l'instant) mais était élevée à Paris par sa mère qui a dépensé beaucoup de temps en montrant à Em les plus grandes galeries d'Art.

Em a étudié la peinture à la Grande Chaumière avec Yves Brayer mais a retourné aux Etats Unis au fin des années 70 en poursuivant une carrière comme actrice.

Après un séjour en Nouvelle Mexique avec son mari où elle écrivait, peignait et dressait les Mustangs, les deux ont fait leur demeure en Limousin après leur désillusion avec les idéals des Américans.

Sculpture by Anne-Françoise Boutte

Anne-Françoise Boutte

PLASTIC ARTIST - GRAPHIC DESIGNER

In "re" mode: as in receive, re-connect, recreate, rebirth, re-live

A mix of most everything, as I feel it in the moment, awakening to the instant,

to the whispers of the soul in used, dislocated, broken or damaged objects...that I've re-discovered, recuperated, rescued here and there, attracted by a blade of grass, a rock, a bit of wood--and reassembling, re-composing, re-structuring them to give them breath and a second life.

"I'm nothing, and I know it, but I make up my nothing with a bit of everything."

Victor Hugo

En mode ’re’ …comme recueillir, re’lier, ré’créer, re’naître, revivre 

Un mélange d'’un peu de tout, sur le ressenti du moment, à l'’éveil d'’une émotion de l'’instant, au murmure de l’'âme de toutes ces petites choses usées, disloquées, brisées, cassées, abîmées… rencontrées, repêchées, récupérées, ici et là, au détour d'’un brin d’herbe, d'’un caillou, d’un bout de bois… pour réassembler, recomposer, refaçonner et leur donner un second souffle, une nouvelle vie.

« Je ne suis rien, je le sais, mais je compose mon rien avec un morceau de tout. »

Victor Hugo
