Collaged postcard spree from this morning:

Twin Pond

I am currently Interning at  Twin Pond Retreat. Twin Pond is a homesteading and retreat site in Brookfield, Vermont, run by Jennifer Steckler and featuring two 50-foot-deep glacial ponds. With Sierra Reading, I will be keeping and harvesting Twin Pond's dye garden as well as foraging in Vermont's abundant terrain for natural dye materials.

ENTROPIC MENDING

Entopic Mending is a deconstructive incantation and a 

systematic reverse of productive process(es) as a method of repair.

 

Items that require Entropic Mending cannot be repaired by replacement in part or by the addition of an able component. In some instances, when we mend by addition, we are only placing a veil over the unfortunate part of the object, in which case the affected area may fester and continue to fall into malaise.

Entropic mending repairs the essential part of an object. It may be helpful to think of entropic mending as reparation to the “soul” of an object. If you think about it, it is easy to recall heavy objects that could easily be liberated through the entropic process.

Entropy is the quantifiable amount of energy disseminated thermodynamically. Entropy measures the amount of energy change within an object upon unforeseen motion. Entropic mending aims to disperse the greatest possible amount of energy from a specific location. In general, entropy is only used to describe spontaneous chemical and physical motion. However, it is entirely possible to apply the principles of Entropy (and the laws of thermodynamics) to the craft of mending.

In order to entropically mend an afflicted object, one must consider the individual characteristics of the object at hand and the circumstances behind its failure. Here are some factors to take into consideration as you begin to mend entropically:

• How was the object originally assembled? Can this process be reversed?
• What are the ingredients of the object? Are there counter-solutions that might aid you in its dissolution? (ex: the counter-solution to zinc is hydrochloric acid; the counter-solution to paper is water, but sandpaper can be used as a substitute.)
• From whom did the object originate? (And what is their location?)
• What is the fastest way to disperse the essence of the object across the widest possible area? (This will allow for the most thorough liberation of the energy)
