I was asked to make a proposal for a public art project in Portland, ME. It had to have a bus stop and telephone Kiosk in the design. I had read these books called The Good Life and More Of The Good Life by the early back to the land movement couple Helen and Scott Nearing and they had a big effect on me. They had lived in Maine and had built stone buildings and grew blueberries, etc. so I thought it would be nice to make a project based on them. Design assistance by Dana Dart-McLean. |
