this-is-not-native: …because all too often, I see people respond to accusations of appropriation by stating, “but culture was meant to be shared!” And while that’s all well and good, there is a huuuuuuge difference between sharing, and 99% of the crap that gets posted at this blog.

Circulator, Jim Blashfield’s multi-media artwork for Brightwater Treatment Plant will be installed in the Environmental Education Center. The plant opens this September and it’s exciting to see the work being fabricated and installed. Seeing this video about the creation of Circulator made me excited all over again about the artwork and about Brightwater.
