This began as an account of my travels through India and Bangladesh, and continues on as I contemplate the interrelationships of nature, culture and our built environment. The shifting places where land meets water are some of the most critical, precarious, fertile places on earth which fascinate me to no end. Tuvalu next!

urban waste into art
At the Nek Chand Fantasy Rock Garden in Chandigarh.
At first I thought: "How nice, recycling and art..." But if you look at the way the objects (people, animals etc)are placed, it's similar to the way gods are placed in a shrine, especially in cultures that have polytheist beliefs. (see: http://the-landscape.blogspot.com/2008/01/toyokawa-inari.html)
