My Enduring Walk with a Heart

This video will explain everything. I walked around campus tying red yarn on lamp posts, railings, and various objects inside and out. All of this was done for my mom. I couldn't do a lot of things without her and she thankfully and luckily survived a heart attack in December of '08. It seemed right to honor her with endurance since she endured surgery and recovery. Also, I had to do this other than for myself or else I wouldn't have been able to do it.

Endurance Performance

I, Lori Crawford will walk around campus from 12-6pm on Wednesday, February 10. While walking I will tie a red string every two feet or so around objects outside. If I have to go inside I will continue to tie strings unless someone happens to tell me not to in that area. I will also be wearing red. This is dedicated to my mom who had a heart attack last year. She had two stents put in to open her blocked arteries and resulted in saving her life. So red represents heart health research and all those who have suffered heart problems, going through recovery, or did not survive heart disease. In a sense, I'll be doing America's Great Heart Run and Walk in spirit for my mom. I invite anyone to join me to support this cause. You don't have to walk the full 6 hours but it would be great to have company, especially if you know someone who suffered heart complications. I will be starting in Powell after lunch.

Please come support me, and we'll take pictures! We can take short breaks too just to sit and talk about our stories of loved ones.

Who Am I?

A Walk Down the Dorm Hall

This video/sound piece is a mixture of sounds that tells a story about walking down the hallway and investigating what was behind different doors.

Sonic Postcard

This may be quiet but the sounds remind me of this day. Between the siren and then trucks hurrying to the site. Also, maybe it's quiet because it's a memory of a tragic event.

Personal Time Record: Text Messages in One Day

It seems these days that cellphones are a way of life. So when we got the assignment of a personal record of time, I wondered to myself how many text messages I send in one day. The texts I counted were the ones I sent not the ones received. So if you double the number below it would be the conversation(s) with each person.
