Mike Nord and Makoto Matsushima gave a wonderful improv performance Wednesday night in Project Space playing off of the Rachel and Adam Rothstein construction we’ve been watching go up.

Project Space…First Wednesday
AT Project Space for a meeting today I noted they are almost ready for the opening tonight: and Jennifer, I tried for a detail of the actual “join,” (they use regular cardboard tubes and a hot glue gun0 but I was too close to focus Phil Krug has made a terrific website for PS3 which […]

Gardens…plus…
We’ve been getting the garden ready to be on the Gilbert House Garden Tour next Friday and Saturday, June 4 & 5. I’ve noticed I’m a slower and creakier gardener than I was in 2002, maybe there are more weeds, but it looks okay. Better come and see all the gardens, many of them in […]

Clifford Gleason
Here are some images assembled. Sally Judd (Lawrence) did a lot to keep Clifford working and alive at the end of his life, and it was at her gallery in Portland we first met him n the 1970’s. Too bad we didn’t ask him the “big” questions: Clifford in about 1977 the young Clifford with […]
