Panel text reads:
These two panels represent our 46 year collaboration which began with our 1949 marriage. The photographs and the garden plan provide glimpses of that collaboration at our 1908 house.
Photo top left shows some of the hundreds of Ruth’s ceramic life masks of family and friends adjacent to the front door.
Photo above shows concrete and bronze masks of our family and three friends.
Photo top right is the living room ceiling filled with Ruth’s woven wire sculptures.
Photo at left is another view of living room.
Photo at right looks through living room to dining room. Ceramic pieces are by our son Paul Asawa Lanier. Ruth collaborated with Paul on large puppet heads of Joe Montana and Jerry Rice and the ceramic raccoon.
Small wooden sculptures are by our daughter Aiko Lanier Cuneo. All photographs are by Laurence Cuneo.
The garden wants good use made of every inch of land and after 35 years is still in progress. The drawing does not show compost piles, debris, or the multitude of good things lying about waiting for the right place of an idea for their use.
