new video from The Man Without a Shadow

Mornin glories!

Jacob Richman has posted some clips from our Dec 2008 performance of The Man Without a Shadow. Thanks, Jacob!

puppets on film!

Naima and I got done some great setting-up, painting and photo-taking this week with the help of my extremely talented neighbor Chris Wise and his fancy camera. We are indeed a lucky couple of fish. Installation work is underway for real ....

Mary and Sarah and You and Me, in NYC

Kind Friends:
Watch for upcoming reports of the installation "Mary and Sarah and You and Me" soon to be at Judson Memorial Church in New York City. It's soon! Preparations are underway in the barn!

more at: our website over here.

and thanks to Troy, a fellow artist in western Mass, and a true champ, for giving me a shout-out on his blog Artists of the Valley.

Vegetables are working their way out of the ground; kale and tomatoes and basil! What bounty.

Music happens; singing Shaker songs with women friends here in the Valley rattles old ghosts out of the eaves, and I practice on my own as much as I can, chord after chord on the guitar. Kitties prowl the perimeter and devour rodents daily. Hannah says: "If life doesn't humble you, you're not doing it right."

There ya go.
