A collabortive installation about Mother Earth. One hot summer, Sue Long, Nancy McRay and Susan Hensel got together and planned this project. Hundreds of pounds of pea gravel, dark brown wool, cast paper bellies, light, scent and sound resided, protected behind a fence. We created a pristine wilderness,sadly temporary like so much of our protected wilderness.

Poems and music for random performance. Panties, music and Cagean chance combine to make this new edition. The I-Ching was cast on a daily basis as the panties were chosen and written about for the day. Musical values were assigned to each line of the I-Ching and "plunked -out" in the computer notation program for various instruments. The I-Ching casts were interpreted and combined in unexpected ways with the panty writings to create this edition that is both book and performance. The measures of music may be combined in any order to create your own unique symphony. An enclosed CD lets you listen to one possible version.
