It's an evolution of sorts. And it happens in nature: lightning hits a tree, it's gone and that's the way it is. Humans manipulate, nature manipulates. And Sherrie preserves the memory, the knowledge, the testament that it did, in fact, exist once.<br />Nothing stays the same, and that's sad, but that's how it works.<br />I hope I didn't offend anyone.<br />I love Sherrie's work and she's right, and she and others like her are very important.barbara@sparrowavenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16810058119646386361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-88317145655130276522010-07-05T18:37:33.158-04:002010-07-05T18:37:33.158-04:00THAT is amazing news -- it's like cutting down...THAT is amazing news -- it's like cutting down trees to make way for sidewalks. Human beings in a modern industrialized nation can't make sidewalks and pipelines go around a tree? I'm very glad there's a careful and loving memory of it in your print. There could be another show with a gallery full of nothing but the cottonwood print. It could be titled:<br /><br />"N.E.S.T.L.E.S. <br />Nestle makes the very best ...<br />Firewood."Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417863300787897993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-10955312496845919912010-07-05T13:34:12.860-04:002010-07-05T13:34:12.860-04:00Lovely post.

Thanks for the reminder, the pics of the show (sorry we weren't there to help you hang this time!), for the sad news about the cottonwood, and for your work. Especially the latter.Susan J Tweithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672965940786234043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-89065851936374416202010-07-04T15:21:44.192-04:002010-07-04T15:21:44.192-04:00It is a sad testament to human nature that we dest...It is a sad testament to human nature that we destroy nature in the name of the !@#$%^ almighty $. It is also a sad testament to human nature that Nestle has been allowed the go ahead for this water plant. I had really hoped and "prayed - my own form" that this would not happen.<br /><br />On a lighter note - that pic. of Hummer/nest looks like a terrific linocut-to-be to me. What a really great pic - I would have to print and hang it. :-D<br /><br />LindyLindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315980350142729265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5784292642337662930.post-58388429158199811392010-07-04T06:17:27.288-04:002010-07-04T06:17:27.288-04:00good moral and one people should do more often. a ...good moral and one people should do more often. a person doesnt even have to take pictures, just keeping the image alive in ones mind works. <br /><br />really sad that that tree was cut down :( a home for many living things gone for good, but your image does keep the memory of the tree alive.Jennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.com
