August 4, 2007: fire dancers stuck in the fire

I was on my way to a gig and we got caught in a fire — rather there was a fire and traffic was stopped and the road was closed. We had to turn around and go back. That was fun and interesting. I’ve never seen a natural fire that big before. Beautiful experience. And [...]


Decompression

I love butterflies! Here’s one that I absolutely loved making, though it took a really long time to do because of all the details. It lasted throughout the day really well though, which was fun.

The garden will include a walk of fear leading to enclosed garden of hope and a tree of emergence and will include lush plant life on the playa. In an environment filled with dust and lacking [...]
