This type here always reminds me of dandelions.

Sandy checking out the camera.This is a shot of the installation in the fieldwork/fieldwalking show taken inside the hide of the 63 minute loop video projection. It was shown in the semi show in 2004 and again in 2007 at the fieldwork/fieldwalking show at the conclusion of the PhD of the same name.
