I did It
(blog entry)
I arrived in a whiteout dust storm. When the dust settled I was at my new home. A paper tree grew in the desert lit by the sun in the daytime and an inflatable moon at night. It stood strong through the wind and dust. Monday evening the last thing...

(blog entry)
Some of you know that I am constructing a tree out of office paper and cardboard tubes. The paper would have been shreaded and then thrown out. I decided to roll it into cones and then into branches and soon I have a tree growing in my apartment.

I arrived in a whiteout dust storm. When the dust settled I was at my new home. A paper tree grew in the desert lit by the sun in the daytime and an inflatable moon at night.

I am sad to see it go but happy for the experience and renewal it has brought me.
I thank everyone who I met and admired my creation. I especially thank my new family who have taken me in and helped t...

A few days later the tree is reborn and growing bigger everyday.
When I viewed "Beyond Black Rock" I was inspired by the artists journeys of...

Early Sunday morning a spontaneuos group of individuals decided it was time. Paper is harder to burn than you think. It turns out the tree was more alive than we thought. It resisted attempts with lighters and camping fuel. Fortunately we are a creative group and a kind soul with a hand made flamethrower was nearby. After a minute of torching the tree finally gave in. It was beautiful to see it released. The time and energy to construct it was worth it.
I am sad to see it go. But happy a...

On April 18th My creative obsession will go on display. Two days later it will be gone. Destroyed by fire it will again be reborn. From seed to tree. Tree to paper. Paper to tree. Tree to energy. Energy to ?
Matter can not be destroyed. It may ...
