Burning Man, part 2

I register with the media center and ask them whether it’s okay to put up my art pro­ject, some­thing I’ve been talk­ing about doing for a while: a cloth poetry game like fridge magnet poetry but with clothes pins.

They say that’s fine but don’t like the way Doug and I have designed it to stand alone. Instead, one of the media guys sug­gests screw­ing it to the wall of the media zone. Fine by me! So, we attach it to the walls and I bring out my bas­kets of care­fully writ­ten words on muslin, lov­ingly hemmed by Doug on his mother’s friends 1928 Singer.

I announce to the assembled journ­al­ists that the poetry is avail­able for them to play with as they will and start it off. I come back and take photos occa­sion­ally. For some reason, I dont seem to have the one I liked the most, that ended “Enjoy grot­esque light.”

All the words come from the Wiki­pe­dia entries on the Green Man and the Wheel of the Year, as this year’s Burn­ing Man theme was The Green Man.
