This post is to acknowledge and discuss the presentation by Cary and Koen regarding the ‘Tent motif’ as the only representative of the ‘visual arts’ at the recent VMs conference. The ‘tent as sky’ motif, which the Biblical quotations indicate is as old as the hills, was still valid and continued to provide something of an artistic, celestial connection contemporary with the VMs C-14. This is a valid comparison.
A difficulty comes up in part 4 with the introduction of a second motif.
“Lastly, we investigated the motif of wavy undulating lines” The introduction of a second motif provides a historical example, but it also presents a problem and a distraction, and it is also insufficient. The second motif is never named with the *correct* cloud-based terminology. Investigation of this line motif in medieval heraldry reveals that the terminology is always cloud-based, either nebuly in Latin, gewolkt in German and so on. Furthermore, the gewolkt line leads to the Wolkenband, the cloud band of medieval artistry. A nebuly line is one version of a cloud band, and a cloud band is one version of a cosmic boundary. A nebuly line is a cosmic boundary and it provides the “indicator of clouds” by its proper etymological origin. A nebuly line is a ‘cloudy’ line, while “wavy” and “undulating” are redundant, water-based terms that have no celestial connections.
Investigation of this ‘cloudy’ line motif in other parts of the VMs is also necessary. Highly significant is the use of a nebuly line as part of the VMs cosmos. This demonstrates that the VMs artist recognized the use of a nebuly line as a cosmic boundary in this illustration and that the same celestial interpretation in other places has a high potential validity.
The investigation of the second motif provides proof by definition and by demonstration (internal VMs example) of the celestial connection found in the external examples shown. The clarification and strengthening of the second motif offer greater support to the interpretation of the first motif.
