Greetings Friends, Family, and Co-conspirators,
The Greenhouse Project is about to make its way halfway across the country to Burning Man. It's an exciting time, the Project is drawing attention from people nation wide and will be included in a little documentary vignette that will air on Sundance. We've got great placement, and if you're going to be in Black Rock City, be sure and stop by. We'll be 1900' from the Man, near the Temple. We're leaving Aug 21, and until then, I'm working feverishly on making this installation something we can all be proud of. And I need your help!
*******************************************************************
These are the things I need most urgently to make it happen:
*ART! of all mediums (exploring concepts of growth/decay, natural cycles & phenomena, birth/life/death, etc., recycled & found objects highly encouraged)
*Offerings and sacrifices (What would you offer your future/present/past self in order to heal/create/bless your own life? What would you give the earth to symbolize your commitment to creating a greener world? What gift would you give to show gratitude for all that you have and all that you will become?)
*Natural found objects -- shells, rocks, plants, bones, dirt, water, etc. (any loose materials should be put in jars or other sealed containers so as not to create a MOOP hazard (matter out of place) I have a few jars/containers on hand we can use for this purpose).
*Fabrics (exotic, sheer, animal skin/fur/leather (faux or recycled real))
*Lights! (of all colors and kinds -- rope light, xmas lights, LEDs, clamp lights, etc etc etc). Muy importante!
*Paint (acrylic preferred, but I'll take what I can get) brushes, and permanent markers
And these are the things I also need and am prepared to buy unless someone gifts or loans them to me:
*2 or 3 Deep cycle marine batteries 12V
*Solar panel(s) to charge batteries
*Sturdy plastic bins to pack stuff in
*********************************************************************
If you have donations to make, you can check out the Project in progress -- in person!-- and drop them off at my home in South Austin. I welcome individuals and groups of visitors who wish to see the Project before it heads to BM. Please call or email for directions and to coordinate times. If you have trouble getting to South Austin, we can try to meet somewhere more central if that works better for you.
And if you feel compelled to contribute but don't have any of the stuff on the wishlist, we'd gladly take money donations to help offset building and transportation costs. I'd love to see you in person too, but in case you can't make it to my house, you can make a donation through Paypal. My Paypal acct is under lauraleanalle@gmail.com Every dollar helps!
You can also track the progress of the Greenhouse Project from the comfort of your own home. Here: lauraleanalle.livejournal.com/ and here: people.tribe.net/earth2LL
*********************************************************************
And let me conclude by saying how thankful I am for the overwhelming amount of support and encouragement and love I have received from many of you individually and the community as a whole. This has been one of the most unbelievable experiences of my life thanks to all of you who have lent support in both big and little ways. I am filled with so much love and gratitude for everything everyone has done and said. It's really just beautiful way beyond belief or anything I could have ever imagined. So, I thank you, thank you, thank you!
With Love and Light (and paint all over me),
Laura Lea
