Thanks for the support fellow Substacker and friend! 🥰

In homage to all the good he brought to this neighborhood, I created a collage of some of his pieces for people to visit.
I captured everything in the @Scaniverse app and combined a few of the statues into one giant piece that an audience could visit in @Arrivalspace at live.arrival.space/bingko

All the statues are the work of one gardener who worked for SF Parks and Rec from 1986 to 2009 by the name of Demitrio O. Braceros. He's very much the kind of artist whose footsteps I want to follow in my own way. You can read a delightful interview with him at www.conversations.org/story.php?si...

Combine this with a multiplayer space where other people are drawing trees, and a whole new avenue opens up in regards to whether or not you're connecting a network of trees or beautifying each other's in collaboration.

This is not my prettiest tree by far, but that's really not the point. The point is to get lost in the flow of the moment and just letting those branches take you where they take you. And before you can say 'wax on, wax off', you're already learning the basics of spatial art.

I adapted this from a 2D drawing exercise by the very wise Wendy MacNaughton that encourages you to just sit down and draw branches as a mindful, reflective, loving act: club.drawtogether.studio/p/growth-pat...
