The Mark Of A True Craftsman: Joe Elliott

For over 30 years, Joe Elliott has forged fine ironwork by hand from his shops in Central Oregon. A true craftsman, he is a master blacksmith—one of the few remaining who practice this ancient trade.

by VOLKAN ERGEN on Vimeo.

This piece reminds me of a poem I posted on Tawa a couple months ago by Zachary Schomburg called “I Found a Beating Heart Half-Buried in the Woods” which is a criticism of man losing his humanity, and then rediscovering it in nature. You can read it here. It’s very short, and worth the read.

The poem is from his 80-page “Scary, No Scary” which is set in a post-apocalyptic world. His poetry has been described by one reviewer as “connected by an adolescent narrator over four parts, wandering through a dark and strange stretch of woods.  What he sees leans towards the absurd.

People climb inside of wolves and they morph into beating hearts, hummingbird bones scatter across the page, and rivers fill up with lava and blood while jaguars gnaw hungrily on the horizon like it’s nothing but a bone.

The images climb in and out of the poems as the book moves on, continually circling the narrator as he presses on in search of someone or something he can’t name in boats going nowhere.” (full review here)

This video was posted with the following prose by Alizée Armet, connecting the visual elements of the film via an acid trip (incredible if you ask me) Read the rest of this entry »

across the ocean. (visual story from the tsunami ruins in Japan)

by sundry productions // filmmaker’s description:

“recorded on my 7D while on a goodwill program in Japan in February of 2012.

We were able to walk around what remains of the Tsunami devastated township of Minamisanriku in the Tohoku region. I recorded audio from two ladies who shared with us firsthand their story of struggle and survival.

The Kanji at the start of the film reads “ichi-go ichi-e”, which can be translated to “once in a lifetime”. I learnt this phrase near the end of my trip by another member of the program. I think it captures the experience.”

I am really obsessed with Scott and Laura, and when I found out they both graduated Boston University (WHAT UP BU), I obviously loved them even more. I think I’ve posted Scott’s work on my blog like 3 or 4 times now. I can’t stop. Seriously. It’s all GOLD.
