IMAGINE PEACE BILLBOARD
Mikihiko Hori, Houstin Texas 2006
On 1st Sept 2006, in anticipation of the WORD exhibition opening at the Deborah Colton Gallery on Sept 16th, the provocative artwork IMAGINE PEACE was unveiled on a commercial billboard along highway I-45, and I-10 East going into downtown Houston. With a size of 14 by 48 feet, the starkly visible billboard was seen by thousands of commuters everyday, bringing an unexpected art experience to the daily commercial environment.

I also made lots of Imagine Peace Buttons which I will distribute at a party for John in Boston this coming Saturday.

Last Spring I had just finished watching The US vs John Lennon. I was moved by John & Yoko's unselfish desire to heal the planet by getting the message of peace out there. I felt compelled to do something in my community to spread peace consciousness. These signs were made by a local signmaker. They face the main road & are seen by many people every day.

I love seeing everyone making wish trees and spreading the message of peace.
Thanks Yoko for keeping the message alive!
I collected wishes from my friends, family, and other people from my school and made a wish tree.
I had a lot of fun doing it!
We miss you John <3
Peace and Love, Ashley

A LIGHT FOR LOVE
Dear Yoko,
A light for Love is so needed in these days of dim....
thank you and John for your endless inspiration.
I am Donna Christensen and I believe : Love Is The Answer.
On October 9th, I had my friend take my photo in front of

My heart and spirit were a Light for Love on that day.
God Bless Us All.

As long we give peace a chance there is a hope.
I've made an imagine peace wish tree with "my children" at school. They are 8 years old and the tree is small... But their wishes are "great". And it's possible- because "PEACE DOESN'T HURT"- they said... more here

BRATTLEBORO VERMONT IMAGINE PEACE VIGIL
During the silent vigil, during the unveiling,I had a beautiful image of soldiers around the world awakening to the possibility of peace, I had a vision of them laying down their weapons and seeing, and understanding each other.
I did reach out and touch you all, I felt your touch and it brought me to tears. The power of love and peace will overcome hatred....imagine!
