Art is necessary.War is not

There have been all sorts of creative ways to oppose war and establish peace through art. In order to keep that tradition alive and kicking I am putting together a site specific group installation referencing the burning monks of Vietnam - using 9 to 12 inch tall burnable, nonpolluting sculpted figures laid out in a spiral and set afire October 22,2004 in Seattle, WA. The deadline for entries is October 19, 2004. This must be done before the elections. Check out http://www.spiral2004.com for more details. The strange beauty of connecting esoteric concepts with physical form makes a difference.
