Roblito, Nayarit, Mexico
Geyardo and David loaned us horses to ride 4km north toward the tip of the peninsula to
visit Vicky's land. It was an adventure... getting the horses galloping to escape clouds of
mosquitoes, clearing a herd of grumpy long horned cattle from blocking the path with hooting and hollering, and being bucked and kicked as I mounted the saddle.
Here I'm making a collage of
photos showing Burning Man scenes to introduce Roblito to the culture and community that has
been such a huge part of my life over the past two years. I mixed-in images of people I
want to bring to Roblito to create an Action Hero Network circus summer camp, and those who
live here that will have key roles.
I'm weaving a spell-- bringing them together here in spirit through these images, so Roblito will be familiar with my friends even before they arrive.
Friends included in the collage are: Caleb and Prana(Ojai brothers),
Kate Sorensen(director of the Star School on the Navajo Res near Flagstaff), Miles
Sorensen, Beth Altshuler, Larva, Z-Dawg, Rynn fire spinner, Lynn Zanetta and partner Cathy, Cheri Rae, Casey
Fenton, and Jason swecker.
