Durrell – 49.66° N, 54.74° W

Close enough to Twillingate to be part of Twillingate, but it is it’s own place. Like most other places agglomerated to form larger entities to support services to the population, they maintain a sense of pride in their own community as its own entity.

I had an illuminating experience at the Durrell museum learning of the Arm Lads Brigade, my upbringing in New Brunswick did not expose me to these stories and I find them to be completely engaging. The idea of creating cultures of discipline and service have always been fascinating because of the way they articulate the social contract. I speak neither for or against, it is simply an observation.

The Wind in my Veins

Leave a Comment

My post is a little late, not the usual 23:23 time slot, lots of rendering and tweaking last night so I am getting at this first thing. Not much to say with words today, but the work is quite well suited to replace my words. Besides, words are for categorizing and controlling according to Burroughs.

Work in Progress

Yesterday was a very busy day of capturing sounds and images. It was quite windy and many interesting ideas came from that.

Ideally, you listen to this while watching that…

Crow Head

A bit further on the road is a community called Crow Head, like many communities is is quite striking to see how people live in this landscape. I am really quite mazed at the locations for many of the houses, they must have been very laborious to build, to just get the materials on site.

I will return to do some work on some of the hiking trails, specifically the one around Long Point Lighthouse. It somewhat reminds me of the hike around Signal Hill, but with a less urban surrounding. I also imagine an awesome view of the cliff faces, I’ll have to be sure to go in the morning the the light is full on this side of the cliff face.

In 1888, Geogina Stirling took to the stages of Europe as Marie Tourlinguet, a stage name taken from the French spelling of Twillingate.

From the paths of Twillingate to the streets of Paris, from church basements to the opera houses of Europe, Marie Tourlinguet sang to the world in a career which spanned two continents and reached into the next century. (courtesy the Twillingate Museum)

The original post included text from the Canadian Encyclopedia that is not entirely accurate. I was corrected by the author of the book you can find at the following link, “The Heart’s Obsession” by Tonia Evans Cianciulli.

This is a recent and complete reflection on Georgina Sterling’s life.

As a side note… this is how I recorded this for the purposes of letting you hear my work in progress.

Zoom listening to headphones.

I have also started piecing together some moving images for projection.
