I was introduced to Gretchen in the year 2000. Our assignment- construct three giant golden turd costumes for Dave Normal's 'Giant Asshole' instalation & musical project at Burning Man. Well, our costumes were fabulous, and though I haven't been back to Burning Man since that year of 2000, Gretchen & I are still friends. Her high-powered brain is most stimulating. She is refreshingly healthy, reliable, courageous, conscientious and on-the-ball. Gretchen is a wonderful artist & friend who can do anything she puts her mind to, and it is really fun to make her laugh.
