This talk journeys into a frontier of cultural exploration, but it doesn’t arrive at this destination until we first bid farewell to the conditions that propelled our departure. These conditions appear in the title of this talk. It addresses “I”, the first person singular; and “eye” the visual sense organ.
1) Please tell the short version of the background story of why you began living the way that you do—building your own homesteads instead of living in prefabricated ones.
My creative urges have always extended beyond my art studio and office. It never occurred to me that I would not design my own living space.
1. You are an artist, art writer, art educator, homesteader, and curator. How do you allocate your time and attention among these compartments?
While your list of the pursuits that occupy me is accurate, they do not require ‘allocation’ because they do not compete. They coincide.
