(portland, oregon)
In March 2008, Adam brainstormed the project with help from acupuncturists, city planners, ecologists, artists, writers and the general public at the South Waterfront Guest Artist Residency Program. Together we envisioned Portland as a metaphorical body, considering its health through the non-western lens of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
Participants contributed ideas about the city's health...
... and layers of information accrued on the maps...
...which informed the project as a whole and suggested specific issues and locations to focus on.
