In the 80's my friends would take me to their family's beach house in Bahia Kino, we would come in via Nogales and always eat at McDonalds upon our return to the US.
It's sobering to think about all those who only made it to Nogales but no further.
The tags list cause of death and where the body was found. Hyperthermia a big winner. Indeterminate skeletal remains #2.

Museum of Us "Hostile Terrain" is worth seeing (again).

The thing I love most about this photo is that every single object looks like it's been altered or placed, but it's 100% natural photograph.

Woke up feeling a little discombobulated. Went to my happy place, Mt Rubidoux. Did a short meditation reminding me I'm always supported by the Earth. I have my people my places and my things. I have everything.
Don't you think this looks like a face in the ground? This is what happens when you spend a year peering into trash to find art. And hope. I found both.
In these fabulous images and a idea of what's ahead for us all, together. 🙊🙃

This week I finished a book...it was supposed to be done in 2022 but so it goes. It's done and I'm proud, the delay improved me and therefore the book.

Tonight I take down the last of the interactive sites for my assemblage of found objects called Making Refuge. It's at

6-9 tonight after it goes back under come take or trade anything you want from my fading space.

Garcia Center is also hosting a grand reopening to celebrate all of the new construction and space, including an awesome expanded and beautiful community garden and outdoor glass blowing lab. Both

Lots to see tomorrow. New times due to excessive heat and a desire to keep all of us alive and healthy even as we open and close doors to areas of opportunities in the Arts.
Come help me deinstall reuse and recycle my interactive art installation called "Making Refuge" which was funded in part with a grant from the California Arts Council and the support of Creative Inland SoCal
And celebrate the grand reopening of The Garcia Center for the Arts my San Bernardino "Making Refuge" site. The community garden is insanely full of fruits and vegetables and easy to access.
It's been thrilling to watch its transformation and I've been lucky to watch Hubert bring it to life. I'm grateful to him and his love of '80s hip hop, which made many of my days in the space go by with more enjoyment

Enjoy validation that my handmade artisanal sculptures made of trash, even if they are poorly constructed and misunderstood and completely missed the mark in terms of whether they're art or not are still good for me. Which reminds me if you don't like what you see, make something else.

Creating stuff is good for your brain.

Want to feel like a tourist in your own town? Try shopping the cereal aisle at a grocery store you don't normally go into. They have the neatest stuff.

Happy with the way some of these things have turned out and looking forward to continuing to tweak a few of the others

Got into a good creative space with at least three pieces today. And helped somebody jump start their car. Got a free soda and a good chat for my troubles
