Following Ophelia
Ophelia. Is it true. Like dust, droplets of water moved, almost silently like flying autumn leaves, up from your bed in the river. Ground from pepper, your bitter tears dried into frost by morning. Your eyes struck nut-brown roots through the bitter herb of faded flowers in the foliage on the swollen bark. I cannot find your body. I follow the clammy wisps of fog over freezing lichens and crunching verdigris, the delicately meandering moist trails in the dew on the earthy floors, the pearlescent branches that stir in the distance, at the bottom of a lake. The rest is silence.

Folie À Plusieurs is understood as an olfactory recording device that stores and reflects the thoughts, work, and experiences of artists. "Lake Bottom" is Mark Buxton's olfactory reflection of the namesake photo series by artists Prue Stent and Honey Long from the Olfactive Journal of 2020 from the same house. It depicts, among other things, a naked body in green mud, pearls on skin, structures of water, earth, plants, and wood at the bottom of an empty lake.
Buxton approaches the theme in his typical manner, transparently, almost mistily suggesting the scene, initially bright green, bitter, fresh, moist-rooty-herbaceous (Cypriol, Artemisia, Arnica) with slightly peppery (violet leaf) and spicy-leaf-like notes (Galbanum), before the vetiver becomes more pronounced, nutty, earthy, and wood-mulchy. The oak is rather light and freshly cut, in small twig-like shavings it rarely protrudes from the earthy-moist mosses and the almost minty-bright patchouli of the base. Frankincense and musk act like dew-like veils, in which the molecules quietly float with due distance for mental voids and increasingly fall silent after a good six hours.
