About Me

I try to maintain a positive outlook on things, and it is a daily trial. I am a big fan of the little dog. I believe in the spirit of creation and my roll within that process- like a radio or an instrument. I am a teacher, a designer, a sculptor interested in examining the idea that plants are a media for expression. I have fallen. I have overcome. I move on. I believe in the poetry of the futile act. I think that the creative act is central to the human organism, but along the way we have it kicked out of us by people who think that technique=meaning and perfection is achievable. I hope for trancendance, theirs and mine.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

That select few that can listen to an idea and build on it rather than try to crush it by explaining how it can't work (about 1%)People who understand the nature of creativity, expression, and their own process. I Never Met a Sequoia I didn't Glyptostroboides.
