- Finish this quote from David Milarch: “The impossible ____ _____ ______.”
- According to Paolo Soleri, what did Frank Lloyd Wright like about Dome House?
- What company produced Why Study Home Economics?

The answers to these questions can be found in the clips of the film I’ve posted.
Be the first person to answer all four correctly in a comment ON THE BLOG (as opposed to a Facebook comment) and you win. “Win what?” you ask.
snowball
Sometime between the date of this post and March 15, I will make a snowball and bring it into my studio here at the MacDowell Colony and place it on a piece of tree-free hemp paper on which I will have written something. I will let the snowball transform into water and allow the water to transform the paper and the ink. I will let the paper dry completely without the aid of any mechanical device. I will document stages of this process and I will mail you the original piece of paper as well as the documentation (this may be a DVD video shot with my old, inexpensive, still camera or digital photos on a CD, I haven’t decided yet.)
This piece of art, which is conceptually very much in keeping with A Life’s Work’s themes, is six inches square and suitable for framing. I’ll sign it if you like.
The winner will be announced on the blog, unless she or he wishes to remain anonymous.
Good luck.
The fine print:
The decision of the judge (me, David Licata) is final.
The artist (me, David Licata) will retain the right to show the short film (snowball) at any venue and in any format now known or not yet developed, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. You, “the winner,” cannot screen the snowball publicly for profit, nor can you sell the video in any form, or in any way alter the work without written consent from the artist (me, David Licata).

Please sign the paper as well. Thanks.
David Licata
Haroon, congratulations! You win!
I’ll gladly sign it. I do need to edit the film still. When that’s done (can’t say when that will be, it may be when I get back to NYC), I’ll mail both to you.
Thanks for playing!
