This is Essential Voyage in her completed state! I will post many more images soon- of the finished piece, of the process of making and of Margaret moving. And then I will be posting images of how she looks as her natural decay takes place- drying and cracking and also being washed by the rain.

Please come to the opening reception on Thursday October 1 form 5-8 pm. Margaret will be stepping back into the site for another improvisational site specific interactive dance at 6:30.

She came out great. I was always amazed at how you moved when I saw you create your temporary sculptures. I am retiring from the teaching profession in two weeks. I am planning to relocate to warmer climates possibly Ecuador or Italy but the fun will be in exploring my options. Would love to hear from you......Andy

This post touched something deep within me. I love the creative process you've described and transient nature of the essence of beauty embodied.
