I'm seeking to be doing more video work along these lines, that allow me to travel to the stories, and find the threads that connect each concept. Perhaps the next video adventure will involve Circus- India- farms----and anything else i suppose.  Check back in!

From PUNA HAWAII

It's been well over a year since my last post in Moab Utah, living in a hogan. Well I'm still living off the grid, hoo-ray! BUT 5 miles from the lava flow on the Big Island of Hawaii... in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So i post a video recently completed, a highlight of the HICCUP children's circus at S.P.A.C.E. at Belly Acres where Stacy and I are staying these days... en artistic eco village founded by jugglers and circus performers in the 80's... cool! so these kids are the product of the vision of these original members. Enjoy!

Dear Cyberspace,

while i seek to understand your quantum quirks, i see more truth sometimes in the simplicity of our natural world. from february 2009 to April 2009, I lived in a navajo hogan, with the Colorado river as my front yard, and miles of red rock fins as my backyard. off the grid, no water or electricty... i simply loved it. i noticed that the space of the hogan, literally its dome shape contained an energy ive never felt in a living space before. something nuturing... motherly, perhaps. and not only that, but i connected to a love shared among all who are in this space. the outer parts of the hogan where domed as well... and it reminds me of my mother's sweet medicine teachings... to dome an area as a sacred space. this space most definitely was sacred. i only desire to one day be back in an alternative living space similar to this one. enjoy the tour of the hogan.

love,

mika in moab

hogan, sweet hogan

light is time

you can tell i have a bit of free time. Im still on Mika's Moab vacation...

Light is Time.

Inspired by the poetry of Martha Gilbert.

and in hopes that i can now develop some sort of desert poetry.

The Desert warms my heart

Back in Moab, staying at Ali's house. sleeping in scott's bed. and the desert has welcomed me home with an elated embrace. i love moab. she already has whispered to me whereabouts my spirit needs to be. and its here. sigh. i know moab. and i am ready to start advancing my life, and also stay in paradise as long as i can. quality of life. 

ive been reading The human condition  and In search of Schrodinger's cat... im ready to invite more science in... and i plan to finish the photography and alternative proceses packet from mr. robert schaller. and i plan to write a treatment/screenplay for Erosion.

What is Erosion? well.... the film i am developing... to potentially shoot, on 16mm the right way....

 An experimental narrative, lesbian western, in relation to human evolution, by examining the intersection between erosion and eroticism. this film will be a conceptual sculpture of earth, light, water, and celluloid, developed as a southwest love story in search of its own truth. 

and the love story takes place between a young mormon girl, displaced within her family, and an older Navajo woman, expediting to find her roots. 

i dig it. we'll see what this grows into. im into the idea of erosion as body of earth, and eroticism as human body in contact with the elements.  examining womblike canyons, water agent, wind, time, sun, and love.
