2020-2

04/30/20 / johnlambertmarcucci / Uncategorized

January 1, 2020
My process in art is to allow the collective memory of shape to flow as uninhibited as possible–this “corona” (image above) could be an example–I was unaware of the virus on January 1, 2020. But indeed this drawing is a very striking image of the SARS-Co-V-2.

Now it is the twenty-forth of April 2020. When I drew this I had no idea of the impending pandemic of SARS-Co-V-2 which causes COVID-19.
I was noting how the seasonal cycle was shifting–an expression of global warming, and yet the most significant change, probably also a result of global warming, was happening at an accelerated pace–a pandemic of unimaginable proportions that continues at this moment. The mortality rates are climbing around the world. Quarantines and social isolation have emptied the skies of planes, stores are shuttered, restaurants are closed for eating in, all is take-out, masks are required for entry into public spaces, social distancing is the decorum of civility. And the meme–we’re all in this together–is the mantra as economic disaster looms on the horizon of our decline. Now 2.5 million cases of COVID-19 and 180,000 deaths.

Twenty-Twenty 2020

The start of blooming at the beginning of winter.

The quince, bright red
Chinese fringe bush in magenta flowers
yellow dandelions and white pom-pom seed heads.

A shrub I do not know the name of–lemon scented–
usually the first sign of Spring’s arrival in February,
now in December
The winter solstice
paper white narcissus, yellow bearded irises.

The start of blooming at the beginning of winter.

The leaves are still being raked, some are still on their
branches waiting for a storm to shake them loose.
We had a freeze! It killed the tender plants
the turk’s head cap, a hibiscus loved by butterflies
and hummingbirds–but they all left.

It is the winter solstice
The light shines in diminished time.
The angle of light beams in almost vertical waves.

The sky is a deep blue
and brings the busy Cedar Waxwings, and their migratory friends,
the Robins and this year–Red Finches.
They are not in large flocks.
Usually, they number in hundreds, like murmurations,
getting drunk of fermented berries.
But the berries are fresh, no time given to ferment.

The start of blooming at the beginning of winter.

Are the Robins staying here for the winter?
Will they leave when temperatures climb in late spring and summer,
when the earth cracks open fissures in the clay.

The start of blooming at the beginning of winter.
Rhythms and flow of life energies are in flux.

How do we see the moment at the start of blooming.
