All animals grow timid in the winter night..

 

FOX / one of my artworks from a few years ago
 
The sleeping, shining-white fox fits in wonderfullywith the stillness of the night, which still remainsmagically bright. Mikkl is like a fragment of themysterious Ice Age, lying hidden in the frozen, quietbrightness. In the transparent heavens the large moonlooks quite near, not as it does in Europe where itslight is cold and distant. Here it seems to belong toour world, the luminous picture of a sharply outlinedice landscape.Mikkl’s behaviour takes on a touch of timidity. Allanimals grow timid in the winter night, the hunters say.[…]
“Poor Mikkl, you’re traipsing to your doom. In a fewdays the fox-trapping will begin; they’re after your life.They will pull your beautiful fur over your head andsend you far away to a place where a lot of people liveclose to each other. There they will give you glitteringeyes made of glass, and then you will hang in one ofthe thousand glittering shops in one of the thousandglittering streets, together with thousand of otherglittering dead things. Do you know, Mikkl, there’sso much artificial glitter there that the people nolonger know anything about light, about its comingand going, and about the magic of twilight.”
I fetch water from the lagoon; it is so clear that I cansee the rust-brown weeds at the bottom. Mikkl alsolaps up some of the clear water but without letting meout of his sight. Suddenly he raises his head and staresat me as though it were the first time in his life he hadseen me. Horror glares out of his wide, glowing greeneyes; then he leaps aside and runs off without onceturning around. He runs across the black field of stoneand at last disappears, a tiny spot in my sight, at thefoot of the great black mountains. Perhaps they become clairvoyant, the animals, as thedarkness grows, and then see the true face of men?

ROUGH MATERIAL
SHAPES, TEXTURE
 

"That additive and subtractive topography-formingprocesses are so commensurate is one of Earth’sextraordinary attributes. The landscape of other rockyplanets and moons look alien precisely because theseworlds lack such a balance in the rates of creative anddestructive topographic agents.[…]
However, life itself can alter the processes that shapetopography: there is strong evidence that colonisation of land by plants in early Silurian time slowed global erosion rates and led to the emergence of rivers with well-definedchannels. (It has taken humans only a few centuries toreverse that trend; by some estimates, modern erosionrates—accelerated by deforestation, agriculture, desertification,and urbanisation—are orders of magnitude higher thangeologic averages.)" —MARCIA BJORNERUD / TIMEFULLNESS
