  • YURT sited & raised

    During the summer of 2017 we chose a site for our yurt on a flattish area at the top of a hill to get a good view of the land, good drainage and also get the feeling we were in the trees. To make the smallest footprint we first put in augured spikes to act as the foundation. Using wood found on site and cedar that we got from the nearby lumber mill, we constructed the platform. Our neighbors helped us erect the pre-made frame and the put on the canvas cover complete with three screened windows and a skylight. (Peter)

  • STICKS & ROCKS walk

    A map drawing using sticks and rocks as a measure for steps done at on a hike at Volcanic park soon after back surgery. Not going far, but taking in scale and elements of the landscape I created a map of the hike.

  • POSSIBLY AT GREEN POND

    An attempt at chronicling what happens in a bird’s life at Green pond.

    I bought an interesting old map. On it is Green Pond.  I imagined what birdlife could be like there. Songbirds most likely would be migrating in, singing, breeding, searching for nest sites and collecting materials. They would construct their nests, lay eggs, hatch and raise  their young  and then migrate away. (Lauri)

  • PROBLEMS WITH LANGUAGE

    When you are separated from someone by 3,000 miles and she no longer knows who you are it becomes so abstract that you must try make sense of the changes. Every now and then you get photographs and make drawings, and discover that her hair has grown long! And just like her father, and plants too, she has senesced. The cells have lost their power to divide and grow. (Peter)
