Hello Alyson– I enjoyed your conversation with Mr. Bayles. While listening to him express his strong connection with trees an image arose in me and I completely understood the connection. I lived in Pike Peak National Forest on a five acre ranch from 2010-2014. The Douglas firs that surrounded my home was a reminder of my childhood memory living and playing among the trees in the great Northwest of Bellingham, Washington. My home stood three stories high and I would often sit on the porch swing that faced East admiring one perfectly shaped tall Douglas that stood alone among the many. After leaving the ranch and moving back to Colorado Springs I longed to go back and visit. In that timeline while gone the occupant who remained on the property had decided to literally cut that beautiful fir tree in half. It got in the way of the view! It left me with such a profound sadness and disbelief. Thank you Mr. Bayles for your honor and respect for trees.

Hello Tara – What a story you’ve told in your exhibit. I love that you used old photos and your other gifts to bring stories from the past to the present. It seems we are re-discovering the importance of sharing stories with each other. Thanks for listening.

In reply to Janice McDonald.

Hello Janice – You might like to know that OSU will finally get a full scale dedicated Art Museum via the Schnitzer family. I’d love to see your Branching Out work when it is ready. Seems like a great subject for your fabulous sense of design. The Center for Photography in Fort Collins is on my list to approach for the traveling exhibit. They specifically say do not submit proposals, but I am trying to find a ‘connections based’ way to get in front of them.

Thank you, Alyson. What an inspiring interview. Thank you, David, for sharing your journey and wisdom. You are a great storyteller. I got goosebumps when you recounted that the Bancroft wanted your entire collection. Congratulations! It must be a wonderful feeling knowing that you have taken care of that for your family and that your work will be preserved in such a prestigious institution. Lastly, thank you for reminding us that art is a “people” business.
