"New Again" Mural 1991, Artist: Families First Children, With Help From: Davis Artists, Davis, California

The mural was composed of ceramic art pieces attached to a blue wall behind two shade trees. It appeared to be made by children with the help of adults. A dog stared (evidently hypnotized) at the pale blue socks worn inside serious hiking boots. Below the boots was a house which had the words "I A In," that perhaps meant, "I'm An Inn." A young woman wore a yellow shirt and waved at the people looking at the mural. Her shirt contained artistic patches. Above her left shoulder was a heart and a sun. Children created ceramic pieces of art that were attached to the wall. Among those objects were, a sun, a house, a fence, an airplane, a car, a tree, a teepee, and a mulit-story building.

Birthday, In 2019, A Year In The Life Of, A Human Being Named Westley, Eugene, Oregon
|
|

Westley's dad wore a "Daddy Shark" shirt and glanced at his phone to check a photo he just took of his son. After the party, Westley was energized by cake and ice cream. He took his bike for a ride around the wide end of the cul-de-sac. Ice cream was served as an accompaniment to each slice of birthday cake. The flavor of ice cream was mint chocolate chip. As he rode his bike, he rode further with each loop around the cul-de-sac. His bike ride became the fitting end to his 2019 Birthday. All that was left, after Westley blew out his candle, was a small puff of white smoke. Surrounded by torn paper, present bags, cups, and sunflowers, Westley tore open another present.

Campfire, As Mythological Combustion, By Dorena Reservoir, Lane County, Oregon
|
|
|
|
The top layer of logs were only partly burned. Viewed end on, the flames rose through the gap between them. The campfire provided a handy place to warm one's chilled hands mid morning at camp. A pile of logs burned down in the fire pit at the campsite that night while music was played on a harmonics and ill-tuned voices sang songs of old. A tower of logs stacked in a fire pit at Caswell campsite, had been lit earlier and were now a roaring campfire. In a clearing behind all the tables, a roaring fire was present as well as sharpened sticks and a cabinet filled with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate squares.
