DIRECTOR & LEAD ARTIST
TIM GUTHRIE conceived and organized the project in 2011. Two main exhibitions occurred in 2013 (RNG Gallery) and 2018 (KANEKO), but portions were also shown in Seattle, Washington, and in Dundee, Scotland. Guthrie is writing a book about the project (a large coffee table-style art book). A future exhibit is currently being planned for 2026.
