Wild Mix Cultivation :: Biointensive Suburban (2006) In
the shadows of Orange County theme parks, in the backyard of a suburban
tract, as an adjunct to the studio, a holon rehabilitating the coastal
scrub wildness attempts a bio-farming experiment in W-Class IV
aesthetics. Week by week, while another war is being pumped with
nuclear options obscene beyond illegality, and the
generals singing, the evolution of wild-mix natural Buddhist
farming rules laid out by microbiologist Masanobu Fukuoka unfold.
Seed by seed fed by the rich compost of our waste, a natural
system emerges with its intentional yield the cultivation of human
beings.

stewardship of the land. Dedicated as warriors to the healing and
contemplative arts of peacework and earthwork, we are committed to
crafting a sacred space of non-aggression and compassion, to relieve
the suffering of violence, war and environmental devastation, in the
