Good luck with your installation! I find it particularly interesting as I have been working, for almost a year, on the preliminary designs for a similar installation. (I actually found your project in the process of researching my own) You have given me encouragement to follow through with my project by reinforcing it’s social relevance and it’s origins in the collective zeitgeist. Thank you!

I am delighted to be part of this public forum & display depicting our country’s excessive reliance on oil for energy. As a 30-year retired biology teacher who ended her career teaching environmental science, this affords me the chance to continue to promote, preserve, and protect our environmental consciousness in a visually demonstrative way. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this project.

Thank you for creating such an inspiring show. I meet once a month with an artist’s group and I proposed this show as an idea, but I think I’m the only one who created a piece. Still, everyone was very inspired in the group that people are out there with such great ideas such as yours! Thank you so much!
