While not busy with a big project or large(r) artworks, I do dabble with smaller, fun projects and creations. Here's some of them:

As part of 350.org's Climate Impacts Day, a global day of action which took place on May 5, 2012, a small group of us created dots on the beach after doing a beach cleanup. The overall aim by 350 for the day was to issue a wake-up call, and connect the dots between climate change and extreme weather. To educate, protest, create, document, and volunteer along with thousands of people around the world.

Thank you very much to Pierre Bezuidenhout, Vina MacGillivray, Liane Greeff, Lalli Coulbanis, Mackenzie and Jordan Wary, and the lady with the Great Dane!
