I refered to your painting in my "Conversation on Art and Environmental History." This will be published in the catalog for my Drake Exhibt and is a colaboration with the History Professor, Amahia Mallea.

Last week I set 3 12-14 ft sculptures in a prairie and set the whole thing on fire. I got some excellent video.

Hope all is well,

Scott

I can write you now because I am pinned down by the weather. I was supposed to be at a prescribed prairie burn but the weather is not cooperating. There are alot of concerned farmers because we keep getting these lashing storms from you guys out west. Everything is way too wet and it is supposed to be harvest time. Soybeans are in trouble.

I am very excited about my drake conversation on Art and Environmental History. I am working with a professor named Amahia Mallea. She is polishing a manuscript on the hisoric floods of the Missouri River and the socio-ecological impacts of the Kansas City metro region. Our conversation is a back and forth of on-line installments that will be published in the catalog. The conversation is fluid and un-scripted and is about the intersection of art, ecology, history and storytelling.

My drake exhibit will have some range: Wood joinery, video, brush drawings done with a bobcat brush and even some animal skulls hanging from the ceiling.

It sounds like you have been more than a little busy. Great job. I saw the photo from the Autry and it looks wonderful. I do not have to pretend to love your painting and the gesture of the brushwork. I will stay in touch.

How are you? I am busy working towards a January exhibit at Drake University. I am working with a professor in the history department on a coresponding conversation on Art and Environmental History. I am writing as much as making art.

Autumn is passing and many trees are bare. Winter coming to Iowa. Hope all is well in LA
