    Did they explain how they became interested in your work? How did they find it?

    Oh, and congratulations!

    thank you planters!

    my (hazy) understanding is they wanted to do a piece on prehistoric rock art in the southwest and contacted the heard museum who gave them my name. i do video and photography work on side for the museum and sell my art at the market there. they did some internet research on my name and found an interview that my tribal paper did on my artwork a few months ago. one of the bbc folks had a print out of that interview in his pocket. i was highly amused when he unfolded it and showed it to me.

    still pinching myself.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    So, the interview they did on me finally came out. I don't have a link to the full piece yet, but there is a short clip of it on the BBC News website:

    I'll post the full clip as soon as I have it.
