Day 1 of Earthcubes






I began the Earthcube installation today at Art Museum of the Americas.  It is by far the largest project I have ever worked on. But only by size, and not by time.  I realized that it has been quite some time since I did such a physical project, and its nice to be involved with a new one.  Peter, the dirt deliverer and expert, said that the dirt he has was dusty and unpackable.  I told him that I would take it anyway, and see how it worked out.  The dirt he brought is orange and there are many large chunks of clay, which when you break them open there are beautiful specks of black, blue and sometimes yellow clay.  I think it should pack, but I am hoping for some rain.  Here are some photos from day 1.
