"The Decad"


Pythagorean Chant to 10

O holy tetraktys, thou that containest the root and the source of the eternally flowing creation! For the Divine Number begins with the profound, pure Unity until it comes to the whole Four, then it begets the never tiring holy Ten, the keyholder of all!










wrinkled parchment
by slow messenger
from the cave to you






enumerated
illuminated
decade-dance
steps through
cloud chamber

  1. For those of you who found the last 10 posts a little boring.
    This ends my use of digits in torturing typical art materials for a little while. I have been enjoying the study of numbers and the development of the symbols and words. I have especially enjoyed the study of the magical and spiritual allure of numbers. I will continue to look into these things but not get so caught up in them that it becomes the total concept of my daily works.

    Next digital photography without a lens.

    As I have said over and over again and again. Time after time after time. I am not repeating myself.
