Jerry, this afternoon in Dorothy and Sid's gallery I spent a long time playing with an interactive video. It was as if the camera was an extension of the artist's hand recording the scenery: a mountain cabin, wild flowers, people, a path up the mountain, a meadow. The narrative was layered, complex, disjointed. it changed as I explored the work.

I had an idea -- of doing something like that interactive video, only with drawing, drawing the environment so that the viewer stepped into a changeable scene where each choice brought up another detailed drawing.

I was thinking that if you clicked on a tree, it would take you deeper into the woods. There would be an inviting place to sit down. Pine needles, ferns, sunlight filtered through the branches of the trees.

I imagined creating the woods in such a way that the viewer would want to be there, not photorealistic but dense, each individual pine needle carefully drawn.

Jerry, I was in the mountains last weekend. The aspen leaves were turning yellow, and I thought: I want to come home.
