Fire suppression p.1 & p.2: “Flame Retardant” & “Building Potential” Inspired by the PEM's ‘Our Time on Earth’ exhibit

I was gladly surprised to see the exhibit’s various optimistic installations, especially the building materials of the future. As a forestry student I am beginning to understand our relationship to our forests differently. In the US, forest policy which aimed to suppress wildfires has contributed to a century-long build up of fuel that would otherwise have been cleared by controlled burns or small spontaneous ground fires. Indigenous peoples shaped the forests of the Americas to require these controlled burns. More and more I realize that indigenous knowledge and collaboration is a necessary part of the stewardship of future. A concept which is present at large at the museum but also specifically within Our Time on Earth. Getting a ‘sustainable’ amount of lumber from our forest still disregards the health and purpose of these trees to a diverse and complex ecosystem. It is essential that we diversify our building material, to include carbon-negative things like mycelium! Natural resources that are close by, and at hand in our local environment, which doesn’t require chopping down a tree 3000 miles away and transporting it to the US. We need local resources whose collective cultivation lead to a sense of community and collaboration. A better future!

My thanks to lane.m.artin for collaborating with me for p.2!

神様の町 -deserted town-

when i first saw this city i was both fascinated and scared, but as the story continued and all the hidden was revealed it began to seem so familiar and i didn't want to leave it at the end (´-ω-｀)))。。

who knows, maybe i really lost a little fragment of my soul there and sometimes it calls for me to return?..

je ne sais plus à qui mentir

quand je suis seul

quand je rêve seul

Parfois mon lit m'avale

m'accueille en souriant

Puis il se plie en deux

telle une pizza qu'on mange avec les mains
