" Voodling, said Andre Bazin, substitutes for our view of the world a world that accords with our desires. Cold-attic is the sort of story of this world...in which the real exists only as perceived, in that situations can be said to exist only when a consciousness is engaged with something other than itself. In this Voodled view, reality is not a completed sphere the mind encounters, but an “emerging- something” which the mind essentially participates in..."

A day after JLG's 80th birthday, Sam Renseiw follows professor Ezik inviting him to climb an internal Jacob's Ladder to experience [new] elevated art-den revelations, to assert a reality according to our desires.

"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self."

On a short Pentecostal leave to a renown country institute, Sam Renseiw pondered on the inter-connective wilderness of matter while driving along fields of oilseed rape.

" Sam R. (perhaps without wishing to) has enriched, by means of a new technique, the hesitant and rudimentary art of voodling: the technique is one of deliberate anachronism and erroneous attributions. This technique, with its infinite applications, urges us to run through a voodle as if it were filmed after the events experienced; This would fill even the dullest videos with adventure and cheerful party mood."

Battling with mild dyslexia, Sam Renseiw joined Zoe T. and guests at the Common Room's festive opening to tag a few supplementary doodles on the blackboard surface, all the while new and old ready-mades lurched artfully in all corners.

"If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."

In the midst of the cold bowl and chamberlain craze at Vaterpas, Sam Renseiw paraphrases Dom Cheverti's credo "I am trying to throw something and to hit something, to see what throwing and hitting consist of" and resumes voodling with another boring, pataphysical voodle.

On level pagan dub

"In Denmark, Midsummer's Eve is a popular day, celebrated with large bonfires. Among Danes, this event is known as Sankt Hans aften, or St. John's Eve, and is celebrated on the eve of June 23 rd. Danes sing on this day the traditional Vi elsker vort land, "We Love Our Land", and burn a witch made of straw on the bonfire as a remembrance of the Church's witchburnings of the 16th and 17th centuries. The Scandinavian customs date back to pagan times when tribute was paid to the powers of the sun god with bonfires signifying the defeat of darkness."

Enjoying a cosily absurd moment of quiet pagan relaxation, Sam Renseiw joined the exclusive crowd at The Vaterpas Research Institute's Villa in Ll. Elmue, to celebrate this year's midsummer.
