Traveling down to Manchester Tennessee early this year to work as a stone specialist on the floor of the post office there, leading a team of hippie kids in a mosaic, was one of many team building excercises i've participated in.. One thing i learned from this one was that if there are personalities i cant handle, its my issue and i need to make the effort to bridge that gap. i'm learning to take responsibility for my feelings and thoughts rather than allow them to rule me. I will probably be learnign that for a very long time.
After the post office floor was completed, my Vermont based team arrived and we went to work in two phases: the bicycle powered can house and the stone waterfall. We recycled and upcycled 40,ooo cans, did three on camera interviews, one music video and several thousand individual photographs of the can house. It was a great though rough experience involving, but not limited to threat of death in thunder storms, torrential rain, overflowing toilet detritus, mounted police, human feces, humidity at 100 degrees, gallons of water, red foot rash from pesticides, general fatigue and under nourishment, and lots and lots of music.
