Laying the Foundation

Later in the day of June 16th, Margie McDonald and I arrived at Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, where Jake Seniuk helped me locate the perfect verdant spot in which to install Water Shed. We decided to nestle it under a gigantic Big Leaf Maple in a thicket of stinging nettles and invasive ivy! While Margie worked in the woods nearby, wrapping an elderberry branch with wire and colorfully painted "thorns", I laid out the the greenhouse base supports in the rough 2D shape of the Water Shed. I set to work clearing the masses of ivy vines and nettles for the foundation. Deanna Pindell was there putting the finishing touches on her Squiggle installation, Carolyn Law made and installed floral bouquets out of color-tinted convex mirrors, and Barbara De Pirro’s recently installed Fungo Plastica snaked up the grooves of the maple bark above.
