Blue Green Red
Ellsworth Kelly
Since the invention of color television, we have been inundated with red, green, and blue. Every image we see, every film or tv show, photo taken on a phone, memory relayed back to us on a digital display, is made of these three hues, organised in pixels to trick the eye into believing that our lives are made up of more than simple colours. Yet when Ellsworth Kelly painted this image, the color TV was hardly a decade old, and only just beginning to permeate into the American household. His painting is perhaps not the abstraction it seems, but rather a diagram that free us from the abstractions of television. Kelly is presenting the building blocks of our visual world, not allowing them to hide in the falsity of organisation but presenting them bare, telling us that this is what our world is made of. This simple canvas contains within it infinities.
Friday 16th October
The planets and the Moon move through intricate, interweaving rhythms, each moment bringing a fresh constellation of relationships. Sometimes, several of these rhythms meet on the same day. Today, the Moon reaches the turning point of its descending cycle, after which its daily path through the sky will gradually climb higher for around two weeks. It also reaches apogee, its greatest distance from Earth. Alongside these lunar turning points, Mars in Cancer forms a trine with Saturn in Pisces, placing them 120 degrees apart in the zodiac. Within biodynamic tradition, these water signs share an affinity with Scorpio and the leafy growth of plants, creating an especially good time to tend to leafy greens. Symbolically, Mars brings action and initiative, while Saturn invites patience, structure and restraint. These are qualities we continually balance in the garden. Both planets can also be seen in the night sky, offering an opportunity to connect these reflections with quiet observation.
