Hawley Hussey is a Brooklyn artist with California plates.  
For nostalgic reasons she just won't let these plates go 
although she insists her watch is now set those sad three 
hours ahead of the coast.  For many years Hawley has brought 
people and distances together with collaboration and her 1985 
Honda Civic DX with the dashboard alter (230,000 miles and 
counting).  

Distance Made Good will travel to the Fading Ad Gallery
in Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY in 2005 and include a a gathering 
of writers and performers and a small press publication.  
More long weekends in LA will be required to secure Prague, 
Oslo and that double wide trailer in Sky Valley.
