Enviro Collapse Wayfinding".... as inspired by ongoing PNW adventure. - - Building off traditional “hobo” pictographs, reimagined folk communication system serves as survival code for an environmental collapse. Some symbols communicate opportunities for potable water, free fuel, camping, and welcoming “safe” communities. Conversely, others warn of environmental threats and misfortunes including barren farm land, superfund sites, chemical plumes, and monoculture landscapes.

Glacier National Park, day two. We hiked the St. Mary area of the park through a 15 y/o wildfire ghost forest to a series of waterfalls. The hike was great, but the drive to the trail head was just as wonderful. Makes the Tetons seem small in comparison. Last Is of the Jackson Glacier, which is just a fraction of what it was 50 years ago. #campcoviddbbcc #glaciernp #wildfire #ghostforests #fireweedfordays.

Ghost Forests, Continental Divide Edition. Rapid ecological change (collapse) due to complex assault by whitebark pine beetle and white pine blister rust. All brown texture in last image are dead whitebark pine. The green band on top indicates healthy stands due to colder temperatures keeping beetles at bay, I’d guess. @1yellowbuckeye might know for certain. #whitebarkpine #rockymountains #Pinusalbicaulis #ghostforests (at Jackson, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDy2eS5JmJA/?igshid=1s4q7pleyv3b2

One for the road! “Environmental Wayfinding” themed baby-quilt for Ghost Forests project. Collaboration with the stitch witch @fourdollarsteak and screen print wizard @hpopinchalk. Mike D swung in for the clutch delivery; quilt was the last piece of art to be stowed in the pod. So, who in Oregon wants to host a playful exhibition about environmental collapse? Suggestions are welcome, please and thank you. #quilting #environmentalwayfinding #ghostforests #landarch #wayfinding (at Manchester, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWkCBwJzXM/?igshid=tyfodmsuuo6s

Popping Now. Phase one of the 55 Gallon Drummers Project begins with a series of wooden models/sculptures measuring 4” in diameter and 7 inches tall. From these scaled-down “oil drums,” collaborators create a series of simple sculptural forms, such as @cyrilleconan’s three Co2 detonators seen here. Phase two of the 55 Gallon Drummers Project is to develop the series of small sculptural works into a full-scale sculpture installation using actual 55 gallon drums. The collaboration is organized around the idea of “accessible” environment art, and ideally communicates productive ideas related to ecology, be it environmental awareness, warning, critique, data comm, call-to-action. Whatever so inspires participatiants. . Participants currently include: @cyrilleconan (air horns) @jackkbyers @tjkelleyiii @_laura_harmon @bord1976 @velocamille @steezmagazine @pat_falco @kngee and @hpopinchalk ...and certainly more to come .
