Peace Dove with Rose, Portland, OR.
2002
"If we can make a creative crack in the world's deadly abstractions,
the divine will rush up bringing great bounty
with it."
-Granny D, in the eye of dove, who walked
across America for peace at age 90!
The rose was made with 40 bags of clothing from the local Goodwill. We couldn't
do detail work without the loan of thrift shop clothing! !

Sky Whale, NSW Australia, 2007
A humpback whale made of bark chips and sand was built for
the finale of a remarkable event called the 5 Lands Walk.
This annual winter solstice moving festival is a 10K "walkabout" along
a coastal path that knits five communities together via art,
culture and music in celebration of nature at the height
of the humpback whale migration. This is a completely non-commercial
event which seeks to honor and reconnect with the Aboriginal
culture . . . the oldest in the world. Click the picture to see the film of this event which features dance and movement on the whale.

"I just saw
the photo and read the article about the dragonfly art in Eugene
and was blown away by your ability to
infuse art with lesson -- impermanence, teamwork, and perspective. I
hope that your art makes it way into the eyes
and hearts of everyone on earth who needs these messages. Your
amazing approach should be in every school!"
Respectfully,
Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant
