Nature morte, Marc Froment-Meurice, Heidegger

De Blogocentrique

La Nature ne doit cependant pas s’entendre ici comme ce qui subsiste sans plus, et pas davantage comme force naturelle. La forêt est du bois, la montagne une carrière, la rivière une force hydraulique, le vent est du vent « dans les voiles ». Avec le « monde environnant » découvert, se rencontre aussi bien la « Nature » découverte. On peut faire abstraction de son mode d’être comme employable, et ne la découvrir et ne la déterminer que dans son pur subsister. Mais à ce mode de découvrir la Nature, restera aussi cachée la Nature comme ce qui « s’étend et tend », nous tombe dessus, nous captive comme paysage. Les plantes du botaniste ne sont pas les fleurs du sentier, les « sources » géographiquement fixées d’un fleuve ne sont pas « la source vive ».

Heidegger, Etre et Temps, 1927, p.70.

If I would have someone to thank, it would be all the people caring deeply for our planet and for Nature. The ongoing fight they are having which can seem at time pointless and ineffective.

But yesterday, I was reminding myself: 30 years ago, people were caring about atomic pollution, atomic weapons and so on. I am not optimistic by nature, but mind sets are changing. It will probably be "only" necessity that will make us change at a global and radical level. But at least the change will come.

Meanwhile, there is a growing interest for recycling, Eco-consciousness and all things green. So thank you to all of you! My little business means more than just selling and making a profit (insert lol). Thank you all for your wonderful comments, thank you all for putting the words out there about my work.

My store is included in their Winter shopping guide! :)

I am so honored to be featured near the most talented Fiber Jewelry Crocheters on Earth!! 

Thank you Jodi for featuring my work again! I really appreciate your support.

Back from Peru

I don't know where to start.
I am back from 5 weeks in Peru where I traveled the Nothern Coast, saw a lot of archeologic sites, amazing ones. Saw amazing empty beaches running for kms and stayed in little fishermen villages. It was winter there, no one, except pelicans, seagulls and vultures...

I was in the Andes, 4000m altitude, one day walk to go see a glacier and its lake. I have seen our beautiful planet, beautiful flora and fauna, there since millenaries, and being threatened by only 1 century of our trash.

And I have been in the Amazon Forest, which they call Selva there. This is the most beautiful, and perfect place I have seen in my whole life, almost 32 years of it next week.
There everything was making sense, it was like being at your real place, threatened by nature, having to respect it totally, and just "be".

I drink the water of the Ugna de gato tree, I collected some seeds to make jewelry like people do there. You can live there with just a little house, a machete and a hammoc.
Clouds of mosquitoes and hundred of ants attacking me...

And there, which happens to me every 10 years or so, I met a friend. He was our guide at the lodge. Almost since the beggining, Marc, him and I, we felt comfortable together. We had great conversations together.
I was speaking with him on msm 5 minutes ago.
Want to meet Arturo?

My week back there was perfect.
We want only one thing, come back. It is already planned!

Now, problem: how to go back to work!?

Pictures will follow, of course. But as I shoot films, it will probably be next week, so stay tuned!

In the meantime
