Moonshine Series
In the fall of 2014, I
participated in the “Moonshine Series,” three nights of events designed to draw
attention to the historic core of downtown Redmond, Washington. These events,
held on 24 September, 1 October, and 8 October, 2014, included historical
dramas, walking tours (with characters in costume from the early 1900s), live
music (with old-time roving musicians), historical displays, and interactive crafts
and haiku poetry. I worked with Jacqueline Calladine to staff an activity station to facilitate the making of haiku
weathergrams, which were hung in O’Leary Park in downtown Redmond for several
months. This project, organized by Kim Dietz of the city of Redmond, and supported
by a grant from 4Culture, resulted in my working with Jacqueline Calladine to
produce a series of elaborate weathergrams featuring my haiku and her collage
artwork. Visit “Twelve Weathergrams” to see each piece. We also made six of
these collaborations into greeting cards. Visit “Haiku Greeting Cards” to see these
cards, adapted from the weathergrams, with graphic design by Kristen Thompson
of Minuteman Press. |
