sometimes i sits and thinks and sometimes i just sits origin
Sometimes I Sits Sometimes I Sits is a tribute to Helbing's mother, Pat. The sculpture was inspired by a poster that she had that showed an orangutan sitting.[1] The original title of the piece was Sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits. On the piece Helbing states: "It is a place to sit and dream becoming a sculpture that is completed by the participants. It becomes more than the sum of its parts."[1]
Think globally, act locally The first use of the phrase in an environmental context is disputed. Some say it was coined by David Brower,[7] founder of Friends of the Earth, as a slogan for FOE[8] when it was founded in 1969,[citation needed] although others attribute it to René Dubos in 1977[9]. Canadian "futurist" Frank Feather also chaired a conference called "Thinking Globally, Acting Locally" in 1979 and has claimed the paternity of the expression.[10] Other possible originators include French theologian Jacques Ellul.[11]
