First, let me unabashedly confess my hypocrisy: the pictures with the branches lying on the picnic table have a large SUV in the background. That is my vehicle and I drove it approximately less than a mile to a nearby park. I easily could have ridden my bike but I was feeling hot and exhausted. Yes, I could have strapped the collection of large sticks unto my back and made the bicycle trek...but, I was too lazy so capitulated to the comforts of modern transportation.
On a more insightful note, I have begun the process of creating my ephemeral art project. Today I went on an expedition to gather materials for my "rat cage." Decomposable materials that are supposed to "contain" an animal is somewhat counterintuitive. This art succinctly concerns animal rights and the ethical concern for both our environment and the organisms that strive to survive in it.
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."

Neat! It is getting to be the perfect time of year for such a project!
