My friend and frequent collaborator Laurie Dietrich suggested that we create a piece for the 10th anniversary show at Bihl Haus Arts. The show was called Ten, and, as invited artists, we were given the same general guidelines as all the rest: provide an interpretation of “10,” whatever that might be. Laurie’s idea was to shoot ten images of her feet in various locations which, when presented together,  would convey the idea of a life’s journey, from birth to eventual death. We shot the opening birth scene with real blood on the bathroom floor of a colleague from the theater community. The final death scene with the foot in the sky was shot in a field adjacent to Mission San José. Other images were shot on Galveston Beach, the original Taco Cabana, the Hays Street Bridge, and various locations about town. The one other foot was provided by our friend, Michi Fink. The audio is of Laurie’s breath, mixed with a heartbeat lifted from some clip off archive.org. I most like that we took a jaunt out to Galveston for one still image. It turned out quite nice.
