Pinch me. Is it true?
Is 5 year's worth of work
really assembled in a real art gallery
for others to see?

It must be,
because people
showed up to celebrate
the launch, my
'coming'
out...

Artifacts from Waste & Our Material World Front Porch Conversation, Oct. 22.
And people
gathered again this
past Tuesday for a conversation
about Waste & Our Material World with
Marc Morgan, Director of the Lebanon, NH Solid
Waste Facility. I love how what began
as an isolated exploration of my
backyard compost has 
connected me to 
so many cool
people.

Like
​the Umpleby's,
who run Umpleby's Cafe & 
Bakery in Hanover, NH - - I get all
my coffee grinds and other
large masses of cool
vegetables from 
them.

Or all
those strangers
I meet at various events
who wonder at my composted
degrees and share their own stories about
celebrating the past while also
re-imagining the
future.

It's magical
when a vision becomes
reality - - when showing up to
something seemingly mundane, like my 
compost bin, could inspire not just
me, but also all those who
come in contact with
this work. Who
knew?

Please come
share the joy and
experience the wonder 
that is our waste at my artist's
talk next Friday, November 1. It will be
at AVA Gallery at 5pm
.
Oh, and it's also my
birthday and I was thinking how great
it would be to share it with others
who care about all this
stuff. See you then
and there!
