The Moai The Merrier

It should come as no surprise that my latest art kick is revolving around the little moai heads that I have been casting by the dozen.  In case you didn’t know, I have a hell of a time staying focused on any particular project and my typical behavior leads me to begin working on something for a while and then I get distracted and put that project on hold to begin work on my new interest and then something else comes along and then you can see where this goes.  Ultimately I do get back to the original projects and this creative process has the added benefit of keeping plenty of work ongoing in my studio.  But for now, enjoy the moai.

Change Is Not Human Nature

For example, they are doing construction on the roads in and around the campus of the University of Minnesota and as a result there are several detours you are forced to take in order to avoid the work being done.  For the past several weeks there was a section that forced all traffic to share the right hand lane in order to cross through an intersection that is undergoing a lot of work.  Today they changed the flow of traffic over to the left hand lane and as a result almost ever driver coming from either direction was momentarily stymied by this change, myself included.  It didn’t matter that they had put up new signage to indicate the direction of traffic, we had all become accustomed to the previous method.  We were comfortable and familiar with it even though we didn’t necessarily like it.  But things changed and so we followed our instinct to fight that change.  Just like now.  The Occupy Wall Street and other Occupy movements represent change.
