Other Day's Land Art
Kinetic Language

Language is not my strong point.
But I am curious about all means of communication.
I like to wonder about how humans make agreements on rules of signals, how long had it taken to come to an agreement between two people, in a community, in a country for an concept to take a communicative shape?
How about interspecific communications?
Has The Tower of Babel really gone to crumbs?

This was my attempt to trace the path of a word which I don't know what language it belongs yet.

Imbolc

A small art created yesterday for the Brigid's visit.
Blessings to all that have been hidden but swelling in your belly and emerging of them. Just like those seeds in the ground.

Transformation

It might not be as dramatic as expected.
Just happen to realise one day, one afternoon that I am different. And it doesn't feel like a monumental achievement.
It just is.

On Power of Ritual

The world feels a very strange place to me right now.
At the time in history when we need to be united for the survival of our planet, we are divided by absurd, shameless and inhumane actions of humans who seem to disregard the dreams our ancestors prayed and worked so hard for.

We all die one day. That fact is enough for us to be kind with each other. And yet, the news feeds are saturated by incidents seeped with greed, idiocy and fear.

When the ground underneath my feet feels collapsing, I rely on the power of ritual.
Ritual means different things to different people.
Your ritual may be lighting a candle, making a cup of tea or conducting more complex activities based on your faith and belief. But all rituals are the threshold space where you bring your attention to the present moment before moving on to another space and time.
For me, it is the time to make arts with nature. In the threshold space, I restore the feeling of connection with what is bigger than myself so that I can remind myself of the essential values. I can stand firmly, instead of spinning frantically out of fear or collapsing out of feeling helpless.

These days, I rarely lead public workshops. But it feels timely and worthwhile to hold one on the theme of creative ritual at this time. The workshop is imbued with my findings from a research project on grief and creative rituals since 2024.

Today's Land Art

I often play with polarised perspectives on an idea.
For example, 'owning' gives me restriction and freedom. It is a blessing to know that I have a choice where I look at the world from and create my map accordingly.

THANK YOU

These are some of the co-creative artworks from this year.

I am grateful to everyone who joined me in the creative process.
I do have some memorable solo works, too. But making art together with you brought so much depth and richness to my practice.

Looking at each work, The Principle of Emergence is obvious - whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Every time we cleared a large artwork after an event, we got surprised how small the pile of materials was. 1+1≠2, sometimes.
I believe the same goes for human potentials as a collective.

I appreciate all the organisers who invited me to their communities and the funders who made possible for me to share my practice with wider audience this year. Thank you for your trust and support for my work.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Frank Kane and the teachers from School of Consent for teaching me ways to hold a safe space for my workshop participants to explore their creativity. I have a long way to go as a facilitator, but I'm blessed to have shining examples I can look up to.

I wish you all a bright new year ahead and hope to create together some day.

Ritual - Land Art Making Workshop

Date: 10th February 1 - 3pm
Venue: Sunshine Room, Ecovillage Findhorn - Events, Retreats & Education
Cost: £30
Enquiry: mayumi_nakabayashi@hotmail.com........................................................

I am delighted to announce that I will be leading another land art making workshop in Findhorn, Scotland next year.
At this workshop, we will be exploring land art from a perspective of creative ritual.

For the last couple of years, much of my work has been focused around introducing my practice as a way for individuals and groups to go into a threshold space. It is a short, pocket of time in your busy day to create with nature.
No premeditated designs, no right or wrong way. It is just you and natural objects.

As well as sharing simple techniques of land art making, the workshop will be based on my interest in geometry, health, sound & vibration, senses and the recent evaluation reports on my approach at research projects.

Desiderata

Though I spend a lot of time alone in nature, I know what helps me grow as a human being is in my meetings with other humans.
Neither from a book nor at a pristine forest. I learn most in messy, inconvenient, heart wrenching and beautiful human relationships.

I believe humans are to be ‘polished’ by humans. Just like only a diamond can polish and shape another diamond’s facets to maximise its brilliance and sparkle.

Someone sent me ‘Desiderata’ earlier this year.
It is a precious gift which I have occasionally reflected on since, often at times of calibration.
The poem is by Max Ehrmann, originally distributed as Christmas card in 1933.
For the day that’s in it, I would like to share it with you.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas.

Winter Solstice Blessings to you.
It was wonderful to welcome this year's winter solstice point at The Parable Garden . The artwork was created in front of a 200 year old shell house. (more pics in the comment section)

Thanks to everyone who joined us.

Wishing you all a nourishing rest.
