It was a quiet day at the West Seattle Library a few weeks ago, which gave me some insight into what it means to really value process over product.

Installation Site….Camp Long in West Seattle!

 
Mater Matrix Mother and Medium  finally has a home (a temporary one) for the installation of this fiber water everyone has been helping me make.
