as an arborist, i can assure you that once a tree has been subjected to that level of hacking--especially a cherry tree--it is FUBAR, and cutting it down is the only sensible thing to do. i burst out laughing when i saw that picture.
#ellarosa, The condition of the tree was not the point. It was a connection to the past of that area.
The pro-nesting around that first tree set the ground work, sort a speak, for the saving of the second tree.
Google map shows the second tree is still at Post Alley and Stewart.
I hope it still gets it tree vitamins and sprouts live on some were else.
Simpson has always inspired me to plant the right thing in the wrong place. (It is really hard to get ride of potato plants once they establish;) thank you Buster Simpson!
Why do you keep mentioning his age?
Is it somehow relevant to what you are saying?
Is YOUR age relevant as well? Should you mention it in each thing you write?
Its kind of like how some journalists always mention what a woman is wearing, but not a man. Somehow its important to you to keep telling us how OLD Buster is, but not how old all the other artists you write about are?
I'm so glad Buster Simpson is finally getting the local recognition he deserves.
I would, however, like to point out a mistake from this article. Mr. Simpson is not the "lead artist" on the seawall project. The piece of public art he has been commissioned to make is being funded through the seawall project. And, it certainly won't be his biggest project to date. It won't be connected to the seawall itself, either, but rather out on a new habitat "beach" that will be visible from the waterfront. I'm pretty sure he will try to work with natural processes, too. That said, whatever he makes will most likely be amazing. Thanks.
I'm looking at some of the questions Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi asked other creative people in his book, Flow. Whether conscious of it or not, I felt I have a bit better grasp on what Creativity really means.

Art in Woodstock?
Woodstock was art.
Same with Seattle.
