Suzanne Chapman appropriates copyright-free images, and uses "any material I can find" to create the pieces here. Titled "The Cleaner." Suzanne said her work is about the cycle of life and reclaiming its beauty, but this one always brought to mind the idea of "always cleaning up," perhaps from a parent's point of view. I also always saw the evolutionary ape to human icon when I focused on the arc of the three roadrunners themselves. We said goodbye to our first hosts yesterday, and went from staying in a contemporary environment near the Saguaro National Forest (stove, dishwasher, washer/dryer, and every conceivable kitchen utensil) to an apartment unit in downtown Tucson that was built in 1907.

Having grown up in Abilene, TX, I instantly recognized the horned toad yard ornament in the picture to the left. However, I didn't know what the prominent feature near it was. I learned that the long, tall cactus in the bottom picture is a Saguaro, known for its efficiency, according to the Moon Handbook on Tucson. We arrived at our first AirBNB on Dec. 22, after having stayed in Hendersonville, NV and Sedona, AZ on our way down here. The first thing we did was check out where the local farmer's markets were, and then searched for area Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
