One door closes, another opens.

The new project: researching funding for an interactive map of forgotten cemeteries in SF/NY, utilizing QR Code Technology.

In the meantime I am consulting on a botanical garden project using the same technology.

Hope to see you again soon in the cemetery, we will start working on the garden again post building construction, sometime in November.

Tree Compost

Trees are celebrated symbols of hope, sustenance, and life. But as they get cut down and die, trees represent the passage from life into death. This week at the cemetery a strong wind pulled down a tree, Anna painted a tree stump in memory of a tree, and her son Matthew built a teepee out of cut branches and recycled wooden poles.
