We Become Space (in three parts)

I collaborated with some highly qualified school children, their teachers and parents at a local Chicago Montessori school. During their space exploration studies we discussed what the students might want to take with them if they were visiting another planet.  It all boiled down to the children wanting to bring each other.  A galaxy emerged to include Planet Naval, Saturn Sees All, Nebulas That Listen, Kicking Kaleidoscopes, Stinky Puss Pods, Big Hairy Audacious Comets, Good at Looking Stars and Stars of Praise.  This group also co-authored an accompanying story, person by person adding line by line without peeking at the one before. This process informed the narrative manifesting in the shadow boxes.
