"caution:
weeds!"
work completed at
habitat for artists
huguenot street, new paltz, ny
while my time at the habitat has come to an end, the project continues
as i hang my signs up around new paltz, kingston, rosendale,
hunter and wherever else i may wander...
we all have weeds in our backyards or at least the cracks in our
driveways... we walk by them without notice, regard them as a
nuisance in our gardens, and sometimes hate them so much that we go to
the extreme of dousing them with toxic chemicals... but we don't all
know that they're
edible, medicinal, valuable cohabiters of our world
