Story & Experience
We found our way to a site of 100s of disposed of metal cans from the mining era in an Aspen forest above Crested Butte, CO. We created a threshold and interacted with the site through noticing, sharing, and making temporary art. My friend moved fallen branches to create a circle of intention on the cans. I cut out paper hearts and placed them gently within the site. They were removed before we left. We sang a simple note of A, bowed to the lessons from the site and stepped back across the threshold.
