If I get an idea repeatly, I'll share it -- even if it's far fetched when scrutinized for realism. Often ideas are corroborated by what happens in the world a few years later. Releasing ideas leaves me feeling exposed and free. If world supports me and my ideas, we thrive -- if not, on to the next.

This timeline is about ONE proposed scenario over a span of time. It shows twelve years past and projects thirteen years ahead. It's an exercise in grounding ideas into sequential steps. It demonstrates insight about change process.

Pots? Geological Journalism?

“It takes so many stories to tell the whole truth,” is a statement I wish I could credit someone for saying. Video clip here is an example, thanks to Kathy Scheetz’ videography, and the serendipitous arrival of Jim Broda and Amy Nevala during an interview with Joan at the Soft Earth studio August 2007.

Can Art & Education Fund Science?
Can Art & Education Fund Science?

Thanks to Kathy Scheetz' questions while she filmed this extemporaneous thought sequence. A playful sequence wondering what if? What seems absurd could be attainable. (Forgive the misinformation that science is funded mostly by grants -- I realize this is changing alot.)

Where might this go? Video

Achievable Values of an Art Lab/Science Studio Combination

Inspired by National Science Foundation "outreach criteria" I began to articulate what I know is possible by addressing how my work could satisfy main topics. Values

What's With Fire?
What's With Fire?

Fire is at Earth's center, spewing gases and magma in many directions in ways people barely fathom. We can't see in to Earth's core, but we experience the effects. Could ceramic change in a potter's kiln give us insight into what Earth does when marine sediments cycle, in millions of years, making magma and new crust? This video of Jason at Rota came to me when I asked Jim Broda if underwater eruptions ever flowed in ways that incandescent magma could be seen.

Working on it ... and I think I prefer making compost. After all, how much time do we all need to spend filling cyberspace?
