It is OK to have an art hangover, right? #latergram post. Finally sharing images of #GeneralShermansFootprint deinstall for @fermentationdtour @farmartdtour Thank you for the help, @kickinbutler and the willingness to lay on the ground, inside the footprint, for just a bit of good breathing, surrounded by alfalfa and a few curious humans. The painted 100 yr old path is bound, stacked, and stored back in the basement studio of its provenance, where it was quietly embedded in plaster for 100 years. Oak lath, salvaged, painted, poems, then formed into the footprint of the world’s largest tree, celebrating (about) 2200 years on this earth, is beyond my comprehension. Last photo, a much better one than mine, was taken by land host Dale Jaedike. It was stunning to me the number of estimated people that went along the self guided FarmArtDTour route, estimated at 200,000 fellow humans. Much gratitude to @wormfarm_institute for including this work. Also to @philipandpetal @kickinbutler and #JenniferDotson for your poems and movement works.

Vending Nature, my third work on exhibit @NatureStories at @southshorearts through July 25. 50cwnts will get you a capsule with a #NatureScore, fun facts, found or made bit of nature, or a lovely poem about the world’s largest tree- General Sherman, written by #JenniferDotson, friend, collaborator, and founder of #HighlandParkPoetry. Fifty cents gets you a bit of the natural@world. Recycle the capsule if you like, or not. So fun to see people engage with the work. Thank you @lindianad and @tomtorluemke for the show’s curation.
