Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real Bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

Well in the bog there was a hole,
A rare hole and a rattlin’ hole,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real Bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

Well in that hole there was a tree,
A rare tree and a rattlin’ tree,
And the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real Bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

on that tree there was a branch,
A rare branch and a rattlin’ branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

on that branch there was a limb,
A rare limb and a rattlin’ limb,
And the limb on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

Well on that limb there was a nest,
A rare nest and a rattlin’ nest,
And the nest on the limb,
And the limb on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

Now in that nest there was a bird,
A rare bird and a rattlin’ bird,
And the bird in the nest,
And the nest on the limb,
And the limb on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the hole,
And the hole in the bog,
down in the valley-o.

Ho, ho, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

In that bird there was an egg,
A rare egg and a rattlin’ egg,
And the egg on the bird,
And the bird in the nest,
And the nest on the limb,
And the limb on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

In that egg there was a bird,
A rare bird and a rattlin’ bird,
And the bird on the egg,
And the egg on the bird,
And the bird in the nest,
And the nest on the limb,
And the limb on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree in the bog,
And the hole in the bog,
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Ho, ro, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.
Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

…
…
…
…
…
…

Real bog, the rattlin’ bog,
The bog down in the valley-o.

England’s STRANGEST Historic County Border

On the 1st of April 1974, England underwent several major county border changes. Perhaps the most dramatic was that of the county of Lancashire, which once featured its very own exclave in what is now Cumbria. In this video, we explore the four main towns of this fascinating area that was once cut off from the county to which it belonged, and discover the story behind these bizarre borders.

Lush Growths and Classical Architecture Converge in Eva Jospin’s Meticulous Sculptures | Colossal

Rather than position herself as an observer of landscapes, Eva Jospinimagines humans and their environments as one. The Parisian artist carves intricate forests and stately architecture subsumed by vines and craggy cliffs all from humble cardboard, accentuating the corrugated textures to add depth and intrigue.

In her Chicago debut at Mariane Ibrahim, Jospin presents a series of freestanding sculptures and wall works that invite the viewer to venture into her large-scale, yet incredibly intricate worlds. Titled Vanishing Points, the exhibition gestures toward perspective and the ways subtle details and contemplation can shift how we see.

“Jardin Constantine” (2024), silk thread, silk canvas, wood and cardboard frame,
46 x 96 7/8 x 4 inches

As with earlier bodies of work, Jospin’s paper sculptures and vivid, silk tapestries draw on classical styles and the 18th-century tradition of follies, architectural structures designed for decoration. These often ornate buildings could be found in many Baroque gardens, which took human mastery over nature as an imperative.

The artist’s works instead depict a convergence between the manufactured and the organic. […]
