Art Drop #8
Burnt Matchstick Figure
Conceived and Carved by Artist Ane Sommerstad
Vevring, Sogn og Fjordane
Wood - Clay - Horsetail
Standing its ground
The Elder knows
Earthquakes endured
Predators engaged
Species generated
Ancestral bones whispering
If time is an illusion
Then Mastery is its greatest fool

On the wind of the smallest wing”

Art Drop #7
"Nature's Watching"
Yarn Art by Artist @AmiStreetArt
I heard a voice coming from a small nest
Seated upon a long low branch of a tree
Just above my head
The voice sounded like the roar of the wilderness
And my soul was devastated
So I climbed the tree carefully
To see how this could be
And when I found the tiny nest
It was empty
Save for a cipher's clue
Written in broken egg shells
And once decoded
The message read
"The king of the beasts survives
On the wind of the smallest wing”
-Lazerus Winter
Art Drop #6
The Way Home
Painting Conceived and Rendered by Artist Bjørn Kolbjørnsen
Watercolor - India Ink - Red Chalk
There's a light in the heart of darkness
There's a path in the forest primeval
Tattered maps and old equations
Could never be so true
- Lazerus Winter
Art Drop #5
Holocene Fractures
Conceived and Created by Glass Artist - Æsa Björk
Multi-Disciplinary Work Utilizing 3D Mapping Techniques
High Resolution GIF Rendered By Artist
You wore a mystic's mask
Playing a secret game
Making light shine from your womb
To envelop us
Arc of tension
Between
Hue and abyss
X Ray images
Of Aurora Borealis
Who in the hell made heaven?
With it's daunting allure
Daring ball and chain
To fly like a kite?
Remove the mask
For lost or found
You're home
- Lazerus Winter
Art Drop #4
Ausevika Helleristningsfelt, Western Norway
Norwegian Stone Age Art (circa 3000 BCE)
Neolithic Artists - Unknown
Photo in contrast - Torsvik / Winter
Skin I'm in
Of ancient origin
Camouflaged vehicle
Of my inner life force
In a mysterious world
Survival
Predator
Instinct
I stand
If I move towards you
Or run from you
I must choose
Between the lines
Of fear and love
- Lazerus Winter
Art Drop # 3
Planisphere
Conceived by Artist and Animator - Simone Hooymans
I drank the drunken dream
Lost found awakened drown
Hypnotic tunnel
Magnetic light
Watery world broke
Oxygen spoke
And I cried
For I knew I had not reached heaven
I was now a dreaming seed
Cocoon adrift
Castaway wandering
Paths of jagged blue Earth
In search of a loving Master
From whom I would break free
- Lazerus Winter
Art Drop # 2
Sofia and the Mountain
Conceived and Painted by Artist Naeem Searle
On the edge of a thorn
I found love’s face
So to all souls unborn
Or who remain in this place
Let it always be sworn
Carved on entropy’s trace
I lived in Wild Grace
I lived in Wild Grace
I lived in Wild Grace
- Lazerus Winter
Art Drop # 1
Hornelen - The tallest sea cliff in Europe
Skatesundet Fjord

“Dragon’s glacial heart thaws
Revealing
A snowflake
Is the fine art
Of a blizzard”
- Lazerus Winter
