In Memorium: Jeanne-Claude

Jeanne-Claude taught me about tenacity and courage, risk and scale. In the years that I worked with her, we often traveled to see farmers in Petaluma at 5:30 am, before they milked the cows. She  convinced them, with charm and humor, of the value of ephemeral art.

I remember a spiritual power in her generosity, humanaity,  inspiration and wit.

She passed away from a brain aneurism on Nov. 18, at the age of seventy-four.

The light in the air is a bit dimmer these days.

I will always miss her.
