Hi Skip,

Thank you for the 333 "convergence" heads-up. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend this time and I trust it went well. Sorry I missed everyone. My time is becoming very constrained (10 to 12 hour days) and any time "off" is spent playing catch-up on my neglected, personal, day to day, must-tend, mundane things mixed with brief but blessed interludes of sleep.

The "Z" site looks very impressive and reads engagingly. Nice tug. The poetry and art are richly endowed with content and I admire the talent of all the contributors. Thank you for nurturing and guiding this idea along; It is a timely and much appreciated undertaking that has already begun to create quite a gravity well of consciousness. It has extraordinary potential for warping space/time in a palpably positive way.

I want to share some thoughts regarding a proposed project for the presentation phase that I had in mind. I believe I've already roundly discussed this with you at some time in the past. It's about using a 3D sculpture (dodecahedron) as a type of visual translator through which 2D externally visible or attached gobbledy-gook art works come into sharp focus and become understandable; in other words specific viewpoint and/or reflection/translation become the means whereby what is externally confusing becomes internally clear.

The grounding/intent of the art relates to the significance of the dodecahedron's relationship to Phi and powers thereof and how it precisely describes the geometry of DNA structure, as you might have already guessed or remembered. I've been mulling the idea for years and mentally building this installation. I sense that you have opened an opportunity for me to introduce this in a measurable way through the "Z" vehicle. I'm working on it.

Thank you for the motivation, the playing field and your dedicated energies on this project. I think it's all becoming more wonderful by the day. Let's bend some space/time with this nexus! Hope to see you at the next artstorm.

Love,
Michael Higgins

p.s. I've will send a digital of the original "face of cliff" (or, your title "whirlpool" is fine) thinking it may perhaps serve you better for posting on the site. Colors are truer to the orginal and res might be more tinkerable. I like the eliptical, viewport, masking presentation you used. Thanks for including my work in this project. My neocortex is flattered; the rest of me needs to get to work and contribute whenever possible.
