Crossing the States by Train, bus, bike and thumb – July & August 2015

August 17, 2015

Above: The Ottilian Sea Pound

A BIG THANK YOU to all those people, that supported and helped me when I didn't have the resources to do so myself (being sick and low in funds). It was truly amazing to find myself in people's homes, cars and campsites, as well as receiving gifts like essential oils, bracelettes, crashpads, a free pass to the Exploratorium in SF, a 12-pack of Cliff Bars directly from the Cliff Bar Warehouse in Emeryville, free rides and the best conversations and times filled with joy and laughter. As much as I could I tried to "repay" you people with my personal, hem, "currency": prints of my Sea Dragon and other Sea Creatures.

NOTE: Before looking through these travel photographs I recommend you turn on the music that accompanied me during my bikeride through these unspeakably breathtaking landscapes by clicking here (Tunng) and here (I am Kloot).

ENJOY!

2025 — on Time and Timing
2025 — on Time and Timing
about 4 months ago

If things are just unfolding in their own divine rhythm? In their unique ways – and our little structure-yearning minds are trying too hard to make sense of the larger timing we are walking in? What if we asked our bodies?

2023 A good Year for Compost
about 2 years ago

This blogpost aims to take you a bit on my journey. I am hoping that what I am sharing will be nourishment to you and may spark some curious thoughts, ideas and invitations for collaborations among ourselves and with others. […] I have found that there need to be more of us, who look at what’s below our feet and understand how the earth beneath our feet can be fed by our “waste” (manure and humanure, food scraps, garden “waste”…).and see how this is an important step towards integrating death as part of the ecology of life.

Headed Home to the West Coast – Visiting Concow Meadows Research Station
about 3 years ago

Looking at the landscape I saw a lot of heat scars, dead trees even right by the coast… the past five years certainly have come with heat and wild fires, drought and renewal. It leaves me with a mix of feelings of sadness, despair and motivation to help regenerate. Listening to the radio in the car it seemed time hadn’t moved on – same old classics, as if the world was still like 1970 – but the radio shows do talk about how to save water, how to deal with waste and what to make out of Ukraine and Russia.

The Raccoon and the Moose are my first wall painting, approx. 4m x 8m – We used a grid, two people and a rough eye to transfer the sketch onto the wall. // LOCATION: Berlin Lichtenberg
// ARTWORK: A raccoon because there is a raccoon family living in the space and a Moose, that stands for the cartype which can be found around there a lot.
