Linda<\/strong> Sharon<\/strong> Contact Ben Jones<\/a> to go to Cuba on his artist lead tours<\/p>\n Jessica<\/strong> check out the work of Gordon Matta-Clark<\/p>\n Wendell<\/strong> was also thinking about you making your own caution tape or police barricade with your own slogans related to migration. “DO NOT MIGRATE”. Put the tape up at the border of your property ( or gallery) before releasing the leaves. Check out Josh McPhee’s print: https:\/\/justseeds.org\/product\/all-borders-are-temporary\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Olga Patrick Dougherty ( twisted branch structures) Tamara<\/strong> have you played with a Refractometer? it is a Simple Way to Test the Brix levels in Produce for Nutrients. I don’t recall all the science but my friend had one and we tested all the fruit at the farmers markets and all the local neighborhood produce. Amazingly the organic and biodynamic produce really was higher. the true test was a neighbor who had done the \u201ccover and dump\u201d method of dealing with the poor soil in her yard. her produce had the lowest ratings ever. Amanda<\/strong> your plastics lined up on the table reminded me of Things organized neatly: thinking about all that plastic swimming along made me think about the contrast of things that end up in the water that ended up there by mistake and things that were placed there on purpose. The damage is the same, no matter the intention of dumping? Although letters in bottles are slighting different? I recall a story about marine biologists trying to figure out the currents and sending out the bottles that were found 100 years later. Deborah<\/strong> look at canoe shaped diatoms, ancient creatures in amazing shapes and designs<\/p>\n Northwest coast native artist Hib Sabin makes some lovely canoe shaped sculptures with animals morphing into the shape. the canoe in some native culture is a symbol for the ocean and for a journey. https:\/\/stoningtongallery.com\/artist\/hib-sabin\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The comments are not visible unless you sign-in so i decided to make a post instead. here are my notes for each of you from the first week. : Linda check of the new installation by Thais Mather at Form … Continue reading

\nAkiko Mashima is a contemporary Japanese sculptor working in wood. Thought you would enjoy her work. just saw it in Brooklyn:
\nhttp:\/\/www.roberthenrycontemporary.com\/artists\/akiko-mashima??<\/a> Hani Moustafa created series of photographs he calls a \u201cfilm\u201d in La Perla district in Puerto Rico only weeks before Hurricane Maria hit and destroyed the neighborhood. He struggled with how to display his photographs after the hurricane, since the scene in his photos were no longer the reality. http:\/\/www.hani.camera<\/a><\/p>\n
\nas we know borders are a concept and are constructed.
\nBorders are constantly changing in response to political changes and relationships and due to environmental changes. the concept of crossing borders that humans have constructed that animals and plants have no idea of is fascinating. I really feel this is a metaphor for the many issues we have about migration, immigration and political borders. MoMA has been doing a series of exhibitions on migration, mapping and borders called Citizens and Borders that you might enjoy:

\nSupposedly you can test milk and also breast milk, but i wasn’t able to get my hands on any at that time. this doesn’t help with the hyper accumulators disposal problem in your yard but i wonder what your plants levels would be? could be another level of testing?
