This piece, Contingency Plan for Securing the Means of Gingerbread Production, evolved from an earlier idea to do an anti-war installation. The Big Barnacle was full of a mixture of molasses, honey and spices, and bubbled constantly. The interior of The Decoy Cottage was dimly lit and smelled like gingerbread, and was very cozy.

This piece was shown at The Best Coast show organized by Jeff Jahn.
