"How come it is always is up hill to get to something." Grandpa climbing, who was far ahead a of his family up the path to the caves at the Pinnacle.
I said "it is worth it, right"
"I hope so, we will see." laughing with old man.

I have been enjoying reading your website....
...which I found through a google search on tree shrines.
And I feel very self-conscious contacting you to send you what amounts to a fan letter. But I was really fascinated with your work—not only the tree shrines but your diaries of encounters on the street and your work with people with special needs.
I think your exploration of resacralizing the landscape is very moving. I love the vibrancy of the colors you add to the bases of trees.
In any case, some of the work you do is traveling down a path similar to some of my own work, and I thought you might be interested in looking at that. I've been working on a series of pieces based on observations of nature in NY, where I live—here's the link:

...and on a series of human observations in a book format:

I offer you those links less in a spirit of shameless self promotion (!) than as an expression of the gift economy that is essential to art making.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful work online.
