Tariki “Cairn” in Dover, Ma.
The action at Tariki these past couple of months has been fast paced, varied and quite rewarding. Ongoing large projects on Long Island, in Vermont and near Boston have the team away from the studio, as weather permits. Back in Meridan, Eric and the team are creating a large totem piece for the Cairn Croft sculptural event in Dover, Ma. This event is collaboration of fifteen artist and gardens and landscape designers Kevin Doyle, Michael Radoslovich and curator, Meredyth Hyatt Moses.. Details and open day schedule may be viewed at www.cairncroftsculpture.com.
Eric’s efforts on the global scale have continued throughout the summer, with a very successful trip to New Mexico in support Aid to Artisans. The road between artisans and healthy markets continues to get shorter. The accomplishments of the this organization are truly astounding and should serve as a model for governments, NGOs, consumers and artisans globally. He remains active with the Sierra Madre Alliance, technical advisor for the lead free alliance, Barro Sin Plomo, and Eric’s home grown organization, Kiln-fired Communications. KFC team members will be heading to Pino Gordo, Mexico this fall to start documentary filming.
