Cerealogy

I’m preparing a page of Crop Circle stereograms, titled “Cerealogy”. I may offer the images printed in 11″ square format mounted to boxes or framed in one or two profiles.

 The oldest reference to a crop circle is a medieval woodcut of a demonic figure making a circle in grain.   With the tools and sensibilities of the postmodern, playing from this tradition we can present an old mythology in a new way. It appears to me that times of stress bring out in the corn fields these reflections of inner obsessions- whether by outside agency or by nocturnal pranksters-_http://www.circlemakers.org/art_and_artifice.html _ that become a significant statement. What the exact significance may be, is open to many interpretations, and a fascinating range of ambiguities.

As Postmodern imagery seems to be an appropriation of the past, perhaps the 2007 colors will snap it into the present.
