"Spring clean-up" is late hereabouts, and involves not only sweeping dead beetles out of the large enclosed rear enclosed porch but also trying to organize the stacks of books and papers as well as tidying up my corner of cyberspace.
One of the books retrieved from a pile to place on a shelf of kindred nature/ecology/earth wisdom/environmental/land art books included the essay that inspired the title of this blog, which I had begun with such noble intentions three years ago and has been mostly moribund in all that time. Earlier this year my involvement in an "ecological artmaking project" at the Royal Conservatory of Music led me to set up another blog to track some of what we did over the ten-week period, culminating in performances at Earth Day and other local venues. Now that the process -- or at least my involvement with it -- has ended (it now seems), I intend to copy here, section by section, the contents of the artmaking blog, in order to refer to it and/or add comments.
