"traffic cone transcending traffic"

working on a new piece.  will describe another day.  related to "cone time" (http://eswip.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/cone-time/) and "eight views of a traffic cone, eight times removed" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chashama/4132152226/in/set-72157622745970459/,

http://eriksanner.com/random/2009/how_to_enjoy_traffic_cones/proposals/090824_eight_views.pdf). as much about "place" and "context" as time - brings together many of the things important to me - what painting is, evolution of painting, painting as a time-based medium, and aesthetic appreciation of traffic cones - all in one piece.  excited to have started it.
