Cyclopaedia | February 2013

Tim Hinck's newest composition places an eccentric collection of performers on stage together and then asks them all to do things they were never trained to do: dancers sing, musicians' movements are choreographed, actors become painters and percussionists. A succession of scenes and images -- some static, some frenetic -- help to stimulate thought and present questions about the way that our society stores and shares our knowledge. What knowledge is truly vital? How is this knowledge distorted when it is transmitted via technology or the media? Who benefits commercially from our compilation of knowledge? The audience is encouraged to "talk-back" during panel discussions that follow each of the 5 performances at the Center for Creative Arts in Chattanooga.

February 21st - 25th. Be sure to enjoy...

Then towards the back is an illustration of local superhero Harry Gellar, who is known for having donated over 100 gallons of his very rare blood type.

11th Street Dumpster Diver Garden | May 2011 |

Garden made of found parts. Big thanks to Ryan Fugate for digging the hell out of the hole used for the pond!  The fish pond had no pump or filtration- just pond plants that I collected in Sewanee and Tracy City TN and rain.  The feeder fish I invited to live there lived eating bugs and algae, and more than doubled in size in the couple of years until they were released into a pond in East TN. More variety of birds attracted to site, and at least one neon pink inchworm. No pics of the veg garden, but one of the first squash.
