Naomi's totem pole finds a home

posted Oct 31, 2008

Naomi's totem pole halloweenA few weeks ago we mentioned Naomi's quest to find her totem pole a new home (that's it on the right, dressed up for Halloween). Well, Naomi's had a change of heart -- and it sounds like with good reason:

I have other things that were Neil's that have been a lot more visible and that I've shown more respect. This one has grown on me since I finally brought it out of hiding. It actually feels like a symbol of this whole project. Every time I look at it, I smile. And when I'm evaluating other objects, I ask myself, "Is this worth keeping or worth letting go?"

By the way... have you been reading Naomi's blog? You should. It's good.

Bravo, Naomi, for keeping Neil's totem pole. My home here in Colorado is overflowing with his good taste in art...so glad you have grown to treasure this Pacific Northwest treasure.
