 Precious Resources Caught in a Pipeline is Dedicated to Fletcher H. Dyer
As this project was in its initial stages Fletcher planned to assist as a crew member for "Precious Resources Caught in a Pipeline". However, Fletcher Hancock Dyer, age 22, was lost too soon in a motorcycle accident in Johnson City, TN on November 5, 2009. Fletcher was a senior in the Department of Art and Design at East Tennessee State University (ETSU) concentrating in Graphic Design and would have graduated Spring/Summer 2010 with a B.F.A. in Art and Design. Shortly after his death, Fletcher won 5 ADDY awards locally and one SILVER district ADDY award. As an artist and designer, Fletcher created works that exposed social and/or political issues and injustices. Fletcher was ever aware of and inspired by current events; he also explored and viewed contemporary artists and creative events. Additionally, he experimented and investigated innovative ways of accomplishing creative works and goals. New and unexpected ideas and perspectives had a unique way of coming to the surface due to Fletcher’s way of rattlina. To find more about Fletcher, visit:

 M. Wayne Dyer, MFA
Wayne has produced and directed films since the late 1960's. As a practicing multi-media artist, Dyer's work consists of digital film and video works for industry and fine art. "The desire to express ideas in visual terms is the basis of my work. I see my film/video art as a vehicle that allows communication of ideas based on social and/or political issues. I do not want nor do I expect anyone to be comfortable with my work, I want to challenge."
