Green Dot: For Leslie
Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History
Santa Cruz, CA
This curated show, "Closer to the Flame" is an exhibit of Buringman
related art pieces intended to show the creative culture of the playa. The
show features textiles, photos, sculpture and more.
I chose this show to focus on my sister, Leslie, who has had a rough time in the last few years. The Dot has changed from previous incarnations, soundwise this version uses primarily low gong and bell tones, with a few natural voices in the mix. The intention is to recognize the troubles that Leslie has had, but to offer a space to soothe and calm.

I wish you the best Leslie.
