Dan Torpey

SUNDAY; September 27, 2009: We traveled with Arthur and Sharon to the Louisville area to visit Arthur's good friend, Dan.

He also took us to Fox Hollow Farm to see where he used to live and see the stone sculptures he helped erect. Supposedly, these stones are located on one of the vortex lines of the earth; however, I checked out the ones on Google Earth which show these stones over thirty miles away from the closest lines.

Dan is a teacher and artist specializing in automata and quilting using special recycled materials.
Check out his webpage at Barkingdogs Automata I have also posted a few clips of his automata in action.

Then Arthur took us to see a neat historic residential area in Louisville just south of Central Park -- St. James Court. Very nice.
