"Look, it's art!" exclaims a passer-by as the plastic garbage bags tossed in a pile on a New York Subway grate come to life.
Artist Joshua Allen Harris invites the viewer into a world where life and death cycles in time with the public transport system. TreeHugger meditation for a Saturday afternoon: what do you think about when you watch waste come to life, garbage art imitating nature, the unseen being seen?

We need spirit here
Thanks Peter--random acts of kindness and humor are seriously need here.
Fear factor
I hope she will--but she is living with the fear factor, just as we are all subjected to it, by the powers that be. The false pretense of public process is especially galling. Just as our local councilman pretends to go through the process with the NRP subsidized housing proposed for Denison, while properties have already exchanged hands under suspicious means, and the PD calls it GREEN.
Another patron came in today to note that his neighbors have been offered lowball amounts for their properties on Denison abutting Denison school. The school district is trying to accumulate the adjacent properties, although no one has seen a plan or been given a chance to weigh in on how a new school in Ward 15 fits the neighborhood. Of course, we are the last to know anything that affects our lives in this neighborhood. We can't get our streets fixed or sewers fixed, but the contractors and developers get serviced.
