a slight setback
Last Saturday I fell off a ladder...or more precisely, the ladder fell out from under me. Stupid mistake middle age guys make all the time. Cleaning gutters. Ladder was set on a slippery deck, no one spotting me at the bottom.
I get near the roof and notice the ladder slipping out from under me. Wiley Coyote moment mid-air, thinking 'this can't be happening', then nothing.
Awaken minutes later with my son standing over me saying 'Dad, don't move...'
Couldn't if I wanted...so much pain. Sirens wailing in the distance, getting closer.
Medics check me out, strap me to the gurney. Then off to Harborview where I'll be slid from one CAT scan and x-ray machine to the next over the next several hours.
Finally, after 14 hours in the ER, they release me with a fractured clavicle, 5 broken ribs and a load of oxycodone.

fossils: telling an evolutionary story in stone
Through careful selection of 4 iconic moments of the
evolution of life on earth, I want to create story with fossils and spatial
relationships. Placement of each fossil
within the series and location within the park provides the viewer some sense
of scale of geologic time.
Starting with the Cenozoic and working back to the
Precambrian, these calcified records provide clues about adaptation and climate
change that place our extremely brief Anthropocenic period in stark
contrast.

eco-art resource
The Curating Cities Database maps the increasingly important and emerging field of eco-sustainable public art. It is developed as a resource for researchers, academics, artists, curators, educators, commissioning agencies and sponsors working in the field as well as those interested in promoting sustainability via public art. In addition to descriptive information, the database evaluates the aims and outcomes of each project as well as the external constraints (and subsequent negotiations) that influence the production of public artworks.
