“TRANSITION of LIGHT”

Pre requisite: 61 D (1), nature and unified music.

What follows is an exercise which consists in facilitating the passage of one element to another inside a sphere in order to reach a high level of concentration (lowering of the brain activities). The C version is partly centered on a photographic replica of the exercise, stage by stage. The version D is a photographic counterpart of some of the elements that reflect the Golden section, a more advanced application of the transition from small to large and the Continuous Curve (circle, the analysis of the visual environment from every angle), especially with sections 2 and 3, and the overall polishing of the curve,

The chosen images are incomplete and their main purpose is to document the evolution of this connecting image which played an important role in clarifying the discovery “TRANSITION” in November 2009. Most of these images were taken in 2009, because of the lack of snow in 2010. The use of photographs instead of handmade images (drawings or paintings) is a proof beyond doubt that this connecting image exists.

The diagrams (views from above) of sections 1,2,3 and the section 1 are approximate. They are meant to compare the two versions (2007-08 & 2010) that theorize that recognizable sensory information facilitates access to improvement.

These Cottonwood trees (format from medium to large) are used to prepare, visually speaking, the Douglas trees that are further down the trail / those of section 2, the Cottonwood in section 2, the large fir in section 3, the portals (live trees) of section 2 and the portals (dead trees) of section 3.

This part of section 1 (a long and narrow clearing, highlighting the transition from small to large trees, etc) is used visually speaking, to prepare section 2 (left image) and 3 (the two images right / top, exterior views = summer, late autumn). 

These Douglas (large format) are used to prepare, visually speaking, those of section two. The left tree (above image) broke during a storm in the autumn 2010.

“TRANSITION of LIGHT”

Pre requisite: 61 D (1, 2), nature and unified music.

With the discovery of elements that reflect the Golden mean, the level of visual communication becomes very high because the viewpoints are part of the physical exercise...

The diagrams (views from above) of sections 1,2,3 and the section 2 are approximate. They are meant to compare the two versions (2007-08 & 2010).

The organization of three of the main viewpoints of the whole area was not planned.
They show the dimensions of a horizontal Gold triangle (see two close ups to the right). The diagram is approximate, the thick line yellow/green = the Golden triangle and the thinnest line = the measurements.
The angle of vision from the oval (a Golden ellipse) is similar to the south one.

Brown circles = Douglas trees 
Black (lines and viewpoints) = choice of trails depending on the light and one's state of mind.

Ideally, the circumferences of the small circle, the oval, and the large circle should be conceived according to the example which follows (each number is divided by Ø): 327 - 124 - 77 - 47.5 - 29 - 19. For more information, PLEASE refer to Transition 2.

Viewpoint  

Above: This personal analysis of the whole area is open to further research by others: 7 Douglas in the EAST, 7 in the WEST, 7 in the SOUTH, 7 In the NORTH, 3 which approaches the dimensions of a vertical Golden triangle (explanations to the right), 2 to 1 in the west/southern area (below), and a cottonwood that serves as a connection with sections 1 and 3 (above), etc.
Below: The 3, 2, 1 and the 2 to 1.

The small tree (curve) of the image on the right is attached to the large one with a small fishing thread, to help it to survive. At this area the light source is high to compare to the other parts. With regard to the curve and the almost straight line, please view Transition 2.

View of two portals
The distance of the small tree to the trail is similar to the large trees because LIFE = LIFE or SMALL = LARGE. 

The four following images are the three viewpoints that are closely related to a Golden triangle.

Approximate: A little in front of the viewpoint, there is the equivalent of an equilateral triangle that points directly towards the small tree.
small tree 
Above and center = BEFORE; it includes a tree destroyed by the beetles, photos autumn 2007 and winter 2008.
Bottom = AFTER; by removing the dead tree (summer 2008), we obtain an angle of vision that is similar to the south one, photo winter 2009.

Let us say that the length of section 3-1 and part of the beginning of 3-2 = 1, the rest of 3-2 plus 3-3 = Ø.

Section 3 is an open space that combines three ponds with some dead trees, some distaffs, smaller trees and bushes. This open space is mainly surrounded by needle trees, some leaf trees and rocks. The three ponds which progress from small to medium were formed by two beaver dams (elevation change), elevation 797-800 m. The ponds (small lakes) are numbered as follows; 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3,

The reflection of the light is very high between December and March, especially on the sunny days.
Between 0800 to 1430 hours, from December to February, a good portion of the EAST trail (ponds 2 and 3) remains in the shade. On the other hand, the WEST trail, it is the opposite. This area is well naturally designed to put into place 5 light filters (5 on the east side and one the east side). These are used to lower the cerebral activities just like section two, whose purpose is to prepare the human mind for a better adaptation to the maximum light of section 3.

below: filter 6

Above: Part of the trail system of section 2 
Right: Section 3

Possibility for 1, 2 (1 x Ø) and 2 x Ø 

The transition from small to large is an integral part of the trail system. It accentuates from the beginning to the end.

The location of the conifer can be 1 versus Ø or 1 to 2 like the smallest tree in the almost circle of section 2.

DISCOVERY: 
The most logical place for the trail was to go under the almost straight right lines (triangular form) and because of being reminded of the present manufactured world (the straight line), I decided to remove them. 

To my surprise, I discovered that behind those forms, there was a hidden dead tree, whose vertical line (upright) is similar to the trail (horizontal if turned at 90 degrees). The part of this trail is the connection between pond 1 and 2. 
Is it the trail that pushed me to remove the almost straight lines dead trees or the following explanation?
The duplication of a vertical form (in this case, the curved tree) to horizontal (the trail) reduced the cerebral activities (energy gain) because the thought process does not have to adapt to the trail and the tree once one or the other is recorded, etc.

excerpt from connecting image 61 D section 1

It does not matter whether the wind or an animal or for whatever reason this high level of visual communication fell (tree = trail and vice versa). What does, is that the following theory be eventually verified: The use of natural forms (trees, the contour of a large rock or a mountain...) redone as hiking trails (linear), can help reduce brain activities.

Arrow = the place where the photograph was taken.

The following images are part of section 3-2.

Top: Fresh trail, the sides (vertical) meet the bottom (horizontal) and the top (horizontal) at 90 degrees or a replica of the straight line. 
Center: After one week or two depending on its location, the meeting of the vertical with the horizontal is softened by the roundness of the snow caused by the rays of the sun, and wind/snow .
Result: Marriage of the almost straight line with the curve. 

The weight of snow rounds the flexible forms, facilitating the visual communication.

Right: There are four dead trees close to the small pond #4. Starting from left; 1 small, 1 medium, 1 medium/large and 1 medium/oblique that is partially curved because it rests on the other. The meeting point of these two trees forms half of a Golden triangle (yellow lines). The green lines = transition from small to large.

Left: The curve above the meeting of the two trees is a branch of the medium/large tree. For the meeting of the curve and the almost straight line, please view Transition 2.

West trail / section 3 / light filter 4, this area is in the shade during the whole winter and is the most contrasted (light) of this connecting image during the sunny days.

section 1		                              section 2		 section 3 / filter 4

Towards the light filter 5, this area is made up of small leaf trees, the shades are partial and very contrasted because of the great number of vertical lines (trunks) and oblique (branches), image to the right. This filter is used to harmonize the cerebral activities before returning to the area where light is at its maximum, and this until the end of the walk.

Small recall of section 2

View from outside, dark line = trail, approximate

The organization of the dead trees in the middle of the top/right image resembles half a Golden triangle, please view 61 D (6).

 “TRANSITION of LIGHT”

Pre requisite: 61 D (1-9), nature and unified music.

The following may appear too simplistic due to the conditioning of the man made world. 
Theory: The elements need to be connecting between themselves in order for the thought process to be able to explore freely inside the sphere. 

The images that are part of this presentation are considered incomplete.

For more information, please view ENC 61 C (6 examples), connecting image 62, the link between 61-62, the sculptural arrangements 77-78 and TRANSITION.

For a screen of 1000 pixels or more in width.

Examples and suggestions aiming at the creation of hiking trails that support the theory already mentioned in 61 D (4): The use of natural forms (trees, the contour of a large rock or a mountain...) redone as hiking trails (linear), can help reduce brain activities.

A hiking trail is a linear drawing (live 3 D) inside a sphere. The exercise is a simple introduction to the following:  
A) to familiarize oneself with natural sensory information, 
B) to experience a connecting image without the use of pencils, brushes, carving tools, or others that can eventually liberate the human mind from the confusion of the present manufactured world. In this case, a connecting image means a prepared passage between the different elements, for more information please view 61 D (1).
C) to be able to experience high contrasting elements side by side with fluidity inside a sphere. High organized oppositions (form, light. texture...) mean infinite possibilities for a voyage without obstacles towards exploration.

Ideally speaking, this linear drawing is made entirely of curves, its contained space is composed of live trees... (the dead trees and branches might be removed), it is totally natural (no manufactured object inside its perimeter), it should be surrounded by silence (far from the man made noise, if not, listening to unified audio sensory information is recommended), etc.

The dead tree (vertical line) is reproduced horizontally in the linear drawing (hiking trail). For more information, please view 61 D (4)

The curved tree (vertical line) is reproduced horizontally in the linear drawing (hiking trail). It begins at the two curved trees. Transition from reduced light (leaf trees) to more reduced (needle trees to the right), etc.

Same as the previous image.

The left image (curved tree = vertical line) and the one above (curved tree = horizontal and vertical line) can be reproduced in the linear drawing (hiking trail), before or after the tree in question. 

Suite of curved trees: White line = trees, gray line = hiking trail.

above = a horizontal curved tree, 
right = two horizontal curved trees followed by two others at 90 degrees, images further to the right.
