"Allison, I said, we're sinking"

1am - This is odd. I'm getting very intrigued by bonsai trees. Thought a) The idea of wilderness that bonsai trees represent is very different from the idea in North America and Europe, don't you think? Cornice. Both ideas are psychotic, mind you. One tries to mold nature into a pure but rigid beauty that is supposed to be a reflection of its innate spiritual form, and the other tries to recreate the illusion of wilderness (dangerous, untamed land, "virginal") even when there was never such a thing to begin with...

Thought b) I suppose both are reactionary to how our cultures see ourselves in control of the land, as keepers, utilisers and protectors. Bevelled edge. The idea you have in your head of what wilderness should be is something that has been manufactured, or at least that's the way I understand it. Before the national parks and protected forests, wilderness was something else entirely. I just need to find a way to connect that to the bonsai tree in an oblique and suggestive way, rather than being too didactic coffee table.

Anyhow, just for me, I want to keep some bonsai trees with little origami animals. Shelf. They look purty in a blade runner kind of way. I wonder if it would be interesting to build a small mechanical tree?
