Special Thanks!

A big, HUGE thank you to everyone at VCU who has helped with this project:

Jim (just) - for giving me heads up on Richard Dawkins's writing ( pp148-158) on Cairns-Smith's theory of Clay as Earth's original replicators, because that writing is why the internet portion of this project has begun to weigh so heavily in its overall implications (you'll see) :D

Michael Young - for generously giving about 20 hours of labor to my cause
(construction apprentice)

Andrea Keys-Connell - for being a very contemporary Ceramics instructor

Beth Argent - BFA 2011 Crafts - for being a patient ear and helping me EDIT myself
(article on Beth's Inlight installation)

John Dombroski - BFA 2011 Sculpture, KI - for also listening to my unedited excitement at the beginning stages

Josh Bennett - BFA 2011 Sculpture - for LIGHTS! and also a big help in the final stages, editing my words

(sister, Kelly Coffman, too, for showing up even though you couldn't hang out long!)

Gwyn Hanley -  BFA 2011 Ceramics/Crafts - for generally being there & also touching up the paint on the blue collar man

Eric Carlson - BFA 2011 Photography - for finding me cheap 20x30 prints and covering me when I didn't have my pin

Thanks to everyone who came, thanks for all of the couches and showers this semester, thanks to everyone who offered much-needed criticism!

...and advance thanks to the following folks who will help with post production work on my oodles of documentation, because I don't have the mad computer skillz that you have:

Eric Wolinski - BFA 2009 Graphic Design
(http://www.heywolinsky.com/)

Colin Shoenfelder - BA 2010 Computer Science
