FireFly Gathering "MotherTree"

For the second year in a row I have been asked to creatively participate in the FireFly Gathering held in the vast Ponderosa pine forests near Flagstaff, Arizona.

The organizers want me to develop the cladding and components to make the DJ riser and main live music stage appear to be a psycadelic "MotherTree"

always drawing, always making...

Pretty much every day of every week I awake and need to either get to my sketchbook, my chisels, my saws or my jewelers torch. The visuals come in as I sleep and during time spent in water. My responsibility is to capture as much of this as possible. If I do, more comes in... if I slack the river dries up. So I am always in Flow, always in some form of creating something or other. No its not exhausting, its invigorating and I look forward to each new "download".

travel, I have to move and travel...

I've found that if I set still too long I get wanderlust. I've traveled so much in my life around this planet that it is an essential ingredient to my continued happy and productive existence as a human being.
