"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

PC Biography

PC has lived in Madison for 37 years. He currently lives on the eastside with his wife Karla where he spends his time playing drums and listening to good music. When he is not pursuing his musical interests he is working to spread his message of acceptance and respect for people who are differently-abled. He has written three self advocacy books in which he tries to change the way people treat and look at those who are mentally challenged. PC tells some tough, painful stories of his past; and these experiences still evoke strong feelings of hurt and anger deep within. Throughout his work, though, PC returns to a message of hope, freedom and equality- standing up for the rights of those our society diagnoses and labels.
PC challenges even those of us who consider ourselves advocates. How does our language of labels, although intended to be respectful, infect the way we see the people with whom we work?
PC has a strong, unyielding message. Listen.
