Lebanon Ct. Green

Nine crosses next to Lebanon Country Store

For the few years I have been traveling Rt. 87 on the way to Vt. and lately to Manchester Ct. to visit an old friend during the last 9 months my ride to Manchester has taken longer as I stop and ponder the Lebanon Green. It was on one of these journeys to Brattleboro that the verbal image “Between Here and There” began. Now it is a nearly complete poem reflecting a life time of changes, a tree with many branches all with tales to tell. Many past thoughts reviewed in the present from childhood on a bike to the present in an old Honda. The town Green this one in Lebanon has taken me back and forward in time. Once where the farmers grazed their cows to a walk around the green that is rarely empty. “Between Here and There” were fireworks, chicken barbecues, concerts and ice skating. “Community” so I stop and smell the roses, the seasons of life I’ll share images from Lebanon for the next week or so and Friday my show “Between Here and There” opens and perhaps I’ll read my verbal image. enjoy pjc

Antiques and Stuff for the sake of stuff.

The old, Gallery on the Green Columbia Ct. I had a show there in a past life. Neal asked me as he looked at the catalog “if every image is untitled why do they all have names?” I told him they were nicknames some images just were called things usually by friends and they stuck. Plus people really like names it helps them compartmentalize their stuff.

The new a case of irony as the image here is digital, new shot of antiques. Some collect Antiques and decorate or enhance there old colonials with them to keep the feeling of a period long past. Some just one or two pieces pasted down from family a more emotional memory of someone from their family. There are collectors who love a style or who hope to turn a profit. Then there are those who just buy for the sake of buying who make no distinction of what to buy, for the climax is the purchase followed by short period of cuddling showing off their new purchase then off to the storage unit. Me I mostly watch I have a few collections, Tin Boxes, Art Deco Glass, Art, Baseball Cards. Place holders of memory scattered about with little decorative panache. Some days I think of selling some of these collections, mostly dark cold days. I create collections, emotional moments of time, past, present and future. Sometimes the line between the past and the future is intentionally blurred to encourage contemplation to layer life in a metaphoric time machine. Today the sun shines and a warm spring day beckons me to travel an old road without destination for it is the journey one learns most from, “Somewhere between here and there.” That’s where you will find me. enjoy pjc
