The Ram King

The Ram King comes out of documenting on the various realms and projects we put on this site.

The animals and plants our land supports have been our actors.  The ever changing of the seasons and weather are the verbs in the stories telling.

Our studies of the land's history; our uncovering new maps and stories about the Upper Delaware River Valley; our activism in issues about the natural gas drilling that's currently threatening our watershed : all these factor into the metaphors through which our creative expressions, desires and associations take form.

The majority of the documentation used in the video was captured during the fall 2009/winter 2010, a time of seasonal transition and the passing away of several animals.  The exploration of death, decay and the fragility of life led to the creation of a myth regarding the valley, a Ram King and the jealousy he feels toward his son, the Prince.
