I think I am going to put aside work on the “tree of light”. I still think it would be beautiful, but my heart just isn’t in it. Wearables have my attention right now: jackets, pants, lights, lasers, waterpacks, coats, fur, lycra, webbing, silk. I’m feeling pretty low-key about Burning Man this summer, actually, and the idea of showing up with no major art project in tow sounds more like a relief than a disappointment. Instead I think I’ll continue to put my energy into these workshops, in hopes of getting all my friends decked out in lasers and lights like a tribe of expat Martian ravers.
