Trélex Residency Day 8. 5 November 2019.

I install the rope as a Shimenawa across the garden from two trees. Then I add the paper prints.

The various lengths of hemp rope I bought with me from Spain were knotted together and stretched between two trees to make a Shimenawa; one of which marks the Energy Line on the eastern boundary. I use the dowsing rods to position the eco-prints, which are suspended from the rope with hemp twine and clips; the wind enjoys them.

The Walnut leaves were gathered on a walk near Chelva but there are several small Walnut trees in the garden at Trélex.

In the afternoon I returned to the Lac Leman Museum in Nyon. The second floor is dedicated to the inventor Auguste Picard; a physicist who is known for his record breaking helium balloon flights and exploration of the ocean depths.
