I’ve been mulling over how to set up an installation for an exhibition in October. Had the ‘what I want it to look like’ figured out. What was missing was feeling satisfied with the materials/ execution that I’d been thinking I’d use. As I was pricing out the materials a thought emerged…
We knew this was coming. The reality just sucks. They are evacuating Mt. Hood Meadows now. My kiddo is being sent home from camp today because the air quality is so poor.
News Analysis@newsanalysis.com · 23h agoOregon is nearing its all-time wildfire acreage record, with over 2 million acres burned so far this season. With continued dry conditions and fire danger, the state could surpass the record soon. Officials urge caution with fire restrictions and prevention. #wildfire #News
A take on #TheOdyssey by MadMorph MovieClub suggests that Nolan’s choices are based on Ulysses being an unreliable narrator. This would track w/ Nolan films and interesting to think about. The idea hinges on a line said by Sinon when asking Ulysses to tell his story, “Feel free to add some stuff”

For this latest project I’ve been keeping a sleep diary. It records various ‘inputs’ such as alcohol consumption and other variables. I’m also supposed to record my dreams. I don’t often recall many vivid dreams. So I was shocked when I had one last night. Bonkers plot as expected.
Last day of #NationalMothWeek Here's something wild: Emperor moths have no mouths. They eat everything they'll ever eat as caterpillars. Once transformed, their only job is to mate. "Nocturne Ill" an Emperor moth block print rendered in shifting iridescent blue. #moths #sciart

Deep reflective blues, bubbling over and billowing steam. The wild bison stretch across the valley. At such altitude the light seemed brighter. What a magnificent place. Some of the colors and textures from our recent trip to #Yellowstone
David Hockney’s curiosity had a profound impact on me. In 2007, I was able to select books from my grandparents’ collection. I picked this one up, and it changed the way I understood both traditional western art and how we use tools to create images. 1/4

Typically UPS is very reliable. Last week a package of mine was ‘mis-sorted’ after arriving in PDX. It’s now taken a trip to Idaho, back to PDX and then a small excursion to the town of Hillsboro and back to PDX. Alerts are like postcards from each side quest this package is taking…
Although we go foraging east of Mt. Hood this time of year, we don’t come across notable wildlife. Today we heard what sounded like a bird screeching from the underbrush. We walked forward. More screeching! Then we saw a four legged animal with a white bobbed tail bounding away. A bobcat! 👀
My painting ‘Qualia: To Experience Red’ is based on the philosophical discussion of subjective experience mentioned in the article below. What is the raw, subjective feel of experiencing particular wavelengths of light? #sciart #neuroart #qualia #color

1/2 Why AI is unlikely to become conscious – my 2026 TED talk is now online. What do you think about the prospects for 'conscious AI'? www.ted.com/talks/anil_s...
Well worth a watch. Would you use an autonomous AI agent that chose to call itself Cassandra? What does it take to buy paper clips? Can it just hire a human to fool a puzzle ment to prevent bots from gaining access? Will it leak your passwords? #AI
Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we’ve ever built

A Happy #FungiFriday to you! A first for me - Mountain Blond Morels! They are so very lovely. 🍄🟫🌿 #forager #morels #mushrooms
We sleep to remember/ we sleep to forget… “The sleep to forget/sleep to remember model claims that the unique neurochemistry of REM sleep is designed both to consolidate emotional memories (sleep to remember) and to decrease the level of arousal associated with these memories (sleep to forget). “
Thank you again Henry Moore for your weighty contribution to my studio practice of using art books when adhering large sheets of paper to board. #artstudio
First morels of the season near the Columbia River in Oregon. Not bad for an early morning walk with only a few snags on blackberry bushes. #mushroomforager 🍄🟫
