Self-taught artist Stuart Buehler has a bad case of artistic gridlock. After his close friend and gallery owner William Jamison (Jamison/Thomas Gallery- Portland,Oregon & New York City) dies in 1995, huge loads of Stuart's unique work is returned to him, burying him under his own obsessive talents...until he starts the purging process. Relief comes in the form of the chaotic clean-up, including art jettisoned into the Willamette River and dolls floated down historic Tanner Creek, readings from Buehler's own "Gridlocker's Manifesto" and his final wild west get-away.
