Coming up in downtown Los Altos soon! The work of researching and collecting information and material from the local community, residents and the History Museum has started months earlier. Composing an inventory of what consists of a town’s past and present, has been a challenge and a revelation. So many layers or history, personal storytelling, images, objects, people and places. Home is the only way of connecting all this and home is the only place where all can and has to fit in; not always in harmony and order. Home in every sense, size and notion is ultimately a dynamic place where mutual or opposing emotions, connections and disconnections, conflict and reconciliation, spread through layers of history and memory. Sharing one home, one place, one town, one country, one earth could be just that. Sharing space and time.

Shelter in Place

SIP has been an intense and profound time. Full of broken realities, hopes for new ones to materialize, to merge and connect and tell stories of past and present. A time to be prepared to acknowledge uncertainty and to embrace instability. To rethink and reimagine reality.

ON HOLD

March 12th 2020 the day before the pandemic lockdown, was a productive morning at the Gamble House and gardens. The project scheduled to launch in the Fall of 2020, is now on hold due to the lockdown measures my community and the wider world had to take to fight a global pandemic. This and a couple other similar projects I had been working on until then, are not progressing for now and if or when they resume they may take a very different form and meaning. Sharing a visual of an early idea as a way to honor a piece of work that may never materialize in its original conception but took many hours of documentation, research, ideation, on-site drafts and collaborative work.
