Rafael Gonzalez from Tenerife with love part1

I realised I had hundreds of raw images or mail collaboration images from Jeff Crouch in Texas and Rafael González in Tenerife.  I was cleaning out my computer office after 7 years of moving from state to state and country to country. Crazy. They sent me so many images I could use them in animation videos. Some I altered for mail works. Some have never been seen.

I’m posting a lot of them here. I think I have gathered all Rafael’s. So I will start with him. Gathering Jeff’s images from all over my black hole computer will take a little longer.

Cold Mountain Moon

 


Cold Mountain video series contemplates human relationships with the natural environment. The title, Cold Mountain, is attributed to a legendary Tang era (618–907) recluse’s poetry. Two crazy hermits giggling and pointing at the moon are repeated in Asian painting, referring to the Daoist sage-hobo poet, Han Shan, and his friend, Shide, living in nature. Poet Gary Snyder’s 1950’s translations of selected Cold Mountain poems, and characterisation of the hermit, are depicted in Jack Kerouac’s 1958 novel, The Dharma Bums.
