I built these three Igloos in my Minneapolis backyard and my friends and I played music in them. each Igloo was able to hear the musicians in the other igloos through speakers. The music on this video is one of those recordings. Musicians: Sean Connaughty, Scott Puhl, Dan Hill, Bryce Kastning, Elaine Evans, Rob May, Kristen Murray. Joe Cunningham, recorded in three Bigloos simultaneously, backyard 2217 26th ave s Mpls MN sunday 2/24/2008 7pm

The Garden Project documents my attempts to restore a lost urban eco-system. The EPA tested our soil and discovered unacceptable levels of arsenic. The soil was subsequently removed and replaced. I preserved plant samples, collected seeds and made paintings and prints. I then sowed the reclaimed space with seeds from the destroyed ecosystem. Hand made porcelain Human Head Bird Feeders and Bird Feeder Masks encourage birds to remain in the yard and the birds become a living element in the artwork. With acknowledged humor, I imprint them with intimate knowledge of the human face and call attention to human presence in the urban ecosystem. Highlighting both destructive and benign moments of interaction between humans and their environment.
Sean is brilliant. "Bigloos" (as he calls 'em) are beautiful!
