Gripenhem forestry update pt 2.

Added some more trees, I figure only 3 or 4 more to go.

I also did some work on the traders rest. The camp overlooks the main gates to the city, but is actually a few miles my trail to the actual entrance. The bridge over the river is on the east side of the island. The other crossing is about a mile and a half up-river. The trail winds back into the forest and through the foothills of the Osteralps before emerging again at the city. Isolation is one of Gripenhems prime defenses.

Moominland Tales: The Life of Tove Jansson

This documentary reveals the strong autobiographical slant in the Moomins series as it traces the author’s own extraordinary story from living the bohemian life of an artist in war-torn Helsinki to becoming a recluse on a remote island in the Gulf of Finland. Enjoying unprecedented access to Jansson’s personal archive, the film reveals an unconventional, brave and compelling woman whose creative genius extended beyond Moominland to satire, fine art and masterful adult fiction - not least her highly regarded The Summer Book. With home movie footage shot by her long-term female lover and companion, it offers a unique glimpse of an uncompromising fun-loving woman who developed love as the central theme of her work.

Wonderful, one-hour documentary about Jansson’s work. I’m obsessed with her Moomin comics.

Here’s her drawing a couple Moomins:

FYI: nyrbclassics‘s “Tove Jansson” tag is a treasure trove.

Trippy kaleidoscopic paper creations from artist Jen Stark. “With a nod to the Op Art movement pioneered by artists Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely in the 1960s, Stark’s mesmerising sculptures are predominantly crafted from paper – a fact that makes her ability to conjure intricate spirals and cavernous whirlpools in vibrant colours all the more beguiling.” See more at Another magazine.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
