Lumen Prints

piccola anteprima delle fotografie che faranno parte della mostra multimediale "Le erbe magiche di Eleonora".
Pruìnca è il nome sardo della Pervinca, che in questa lingua suona molto simile alle parole che legate alla pioggia. Questo legame probabilmente non era soltanto sonoro, chi passerà alla mostra potrà ascoltare il racconto di un vecchio rito per invocare la pioggia.

Mi piace tantissimo il termine sardo per l’ortica perché è una specie di trionfo onomatopeico, ed in entrambe le versioni che conosco: quella campidanese, che sentivo pronunciare da mio padre e quella di mia madre, dalla Marmilla

La prima è PITZIATROXU (pìtziatròxu, leggi la x come la J di Je in francese), che all’onomatopea del verbo pitziai - fare male, pizzicare, come fa l’ortica- nella seconda parte produce quasi un’immagine del prurito e dell’atto di grattarsi.

La seconda è OCCIAU (leggi occi-àu), che in pratica suona come l’unione di due esclamazioni di dolore. L’ortica punge, si sa: (òcci!, che è un po’ l’equivalente dell’italiano Ahi!/ Ahia!, e au! che è internescional, lo diceva anche Maicolgecson quando durante i balletti si strizzava le palle). Insomma dire ortica in Marmilla è un po' come esclamare Ahia-cazzo!

Basta, non è che devo stare qui a pettinare le bambole e parlare dell’ortica, oggi ho già giocato a lucidare le fotocamere e a raccogliere ortiche. Per farne un paio di lumen-prints. Che poi sono una forma di fotogramma. Basta.

we've had all kinds of weather today: rain, snow, sun.
I slipped the one on the right outside for 20 minutes+ today when the sun was shining. the one on the left was taken out yesterday on our sunny day [the entire day]. don't know for how long.

two lumen prints on ORWO BH 111 paper from Hanni. thank you, Hanni.

**we have not been slammed by the rains in California like the Central Coast of CA has. we are still a bit soggy tho. we got winds instead.
the rain is supposed to taper off by the end of this week.
then maybe I'll finally feel like doing something.

plucked from stems so I can root more in water.

lumen prints, Dupont Velour Black 3, expired 8;1955

the print on the left was done with a contact frame, so there is more detail. photo on right done under glass with clamps. the problem with the contact frame is when I have thicker plants. I broke the glass in one conact frame when I tried to squish the plant in the frame.

THERE IS STILL A WAR GOING ON AND PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING.
NO. MORE. WAR.
WAR SOLVES NOTHING.

one of my favorite little flowers.

we are still having Covid side effects. now I can't see well, so off to the eye dr.

in the meantime I try to weed and do some lumen prints.

Please forgive me....it's going to take a while to get back into the Flickr routine.
both Leon and I are doing things in fits and starts. and stops.
we tire easily.
our brains are muddled.
this is a very bad virus.


NO. MORE. WAR.
I want Ukraine to win this one, and then be left alone by Russia.

This is one of the lumen prints from my first ever art exhibit entitled Blooms held last May 18, 2022. It features lumen prints of endemic and other Philippine flora. The exhibit runs until August 5, 2022 at the UPLB Sining Makiling Gallery. This is a jade vine lumen print. This woody vine is endemic to the tropical forests of the Philippines.

From Wikipedia:
Strongylodon macrobotrys was discovered in 1841 on the jungled slopes of Mount Makiling, on the Philippines’ Luzon Island, by members of the United States Exploring Expedition led by U.S. Navy Lt. Charles Wilkes. One can only imagine how startling that apparition must have been, but we are left only with the description of the Harvard-based botanist Asa Gray, who had locked horns with Wilkes previously and elected not to join the voyage. As part of the task of describing the thousands of plants collected by the multi-ship expedition, which ranged from Honolulu to Antarctica and involved several violent skirmishes with the natives (Wilkes was court-martialed at the end of the expedition, but acquitted), Gray named the vine in 1854. Its species epithet macrobotrys means “long grape cluster”, from the Greek makros "long" and botrys "bunch of grapes",[6] referring to the fruit; the genus name derives from strongylos "round", and odous "tooth",[7] referring to the rounded teeth of the calyx. A member of the bean family, Jade vine is bat-pollinated in the wild, thus it must be hand-pollinated in greenhouses to bear its fruit, which can grow to be melon-sized. This has been done over the years at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew Gardens in England, where seed conservation is an ongoing focus, especially in the face of loss of rainforest habitat.
