HOLE EARTH finds the man in the suit digging holes and getting inside them. This
piece taps into themes of exploration, vulnerability and perseverance. The process is
simple; I select a spot, I dig, I get down inside. The hole is round and deep enough to
contain me in the fetal position, just beneath the surface. While inside the hole I try my
best to listen, to myself, and to the earth around me. When the time is right I rise again,
fill the hole and move on. Each hole provides an experience of labor, gestation, surrender
and rebirth. I have dug holes in the wilderness, in major cities, small towns, and in a
snowstorm by the ocean. Sometimes I have an audience of strangers, or friends, or
family. At times I am completely alone. Join me in the hole at www.holeearth.net
