1. How does he interact with his "clients"? He makes sure that they get the delight he experiences when he makes his artworks. It is mentioned in the book that he encourages his clients to mess with stuff so that they can have the same delight (Page 38, 1st p).
2. Does he have a larger audience? Other than his client, I don’t think so. If there was a big audience he would talk to the audience one person at a time to clarify and translate what is going on in his artwork.
3. How does he survive as an artist? He gets paid by the day (the diurnal cycle of the sun) not by the hour. A day's job is determined by the client's disposition and the temperature, light, moisture and wind outside.

4.Why did she stop painting? Because she wanted to be an activist. She did not seek interest in the characteristics that make up a successful artist such as income and other material gains. She did not want to spend most of her day alone in a studio. She wanted to interact with people and make a difference in people's lives.
5.How is Damon’s work similar to Mel Chin's (art 21)? They both work at specific places that are affected by environmental or social problems.
6.Why make work in China? Because China originally depended on nature for well being. Water is also an important aspect in the Chinese culture, art, philosophy and other fields. China has a deep history concerning water. People there do not have to be convinced about how water is important for the quality of human life and that nature has a natural way of recovering itself from harmful substances. So it was easier for her to implement the project there.
7.What is the living water park? It is a place where visitors meditate, interact with the environment, and learn about the environment. It is also a refuge for wildlife and plants. However, the main star of this park is the water. The water takes a journey around the park to get cleansed and revitalized.
