about the project.....
About four years ago I began accumulating debris- fragments of poems- strewn about posters- flyers- emails- etc. mostly anonymous- left over from various rallies, workshops, readings, etc.- events related to resisting mountaintop removal.
Tom Phillips
Tom Phillips spent years in the Lexington theatre community before relocating to Los Angeles. He has worked many times with Actors Guild of Lexington, the Lexington Shakespeare Festival, Phoenix Group Theatre, and others, as well as Kentucky-grown film projects such as "Shadows Light". He now resides in Woodland Hills, CA, where it's much too hot, carving out an acting career. He is excited about "We Are Mountains Ourselves", and hopes this interesting project will raise awareness regarding both topsoil removal, and the extraordinary things ordinary people can do through an unfettered internet.

Why Venice Beach? ELandF primarily uses public spaces and mostly free technologies for our installations/performances. Venice Beach Boardwalk is recognized as one of the premier public spaces in the US.
Why use the Beach Cam? We just liked it

“I’ve been a writer since I was a little girl and I’m always searching out new ways to share. I’m certain this project is going to be incredibly inspiring for everyone involved and I would LOVE the chance to share my greatest passion with a part of our community (nursing homes) that we do not get to socialize with enough. Because after all, society is only as strong as all of its members cooperating together, right? “
