In Everytime
I look at the Moon I think of Crop Circles Bruce Conkle has
created a monument to lost intelligence, lost technology, and lost
society. The piece that Conkle has installed at the Ministry of Casual
Living is a tiny version of Stonehenge scooped up by a shovel. In
addition, adding a tangible element from deep dark space, the artist
has included a small meteorite amongst the ruins. Within a few miles
of Stonehenge the vast majority of crop circles appear - often times
sharing similar geometries. Some theorize this druid temple may in
fact have been built on a crop circle site, using its imprint as a
template. According to the12th century work Historia Regum Britanniae,
Geoffrey of Monmouth claims that Stonehenge was originally assembled
in Ireland made from miraculous healing stones that giants had obtained
in Africa. Monmouths research also maintains that the wizard
Merlin later dismantled the stones, moved them from their original
site, and erected them in their current location. |
