Drift Would


Here's a piece based on a photo of a rock-and-stick-and-driftwood glyph from Four Mile Creek (Butler County) in August 2008. The original photo was reworked a bit with the grid lines and red rectangle box added to simulate a sense of a serious scientific approach to the subject: everything in its grid and every grid in its proper place. "Nature" can be forced into little boxes, after all. I'm certain this work was destroyed by flood, ATV, drunken teenagers, or bored river walkers soon after it was written; that is, something from nature rose up and erased it. I'd like to think someone altered it in order to make it really funny or to mock whoever it was who took the time on a hot day to arrange rocks and sticks into words . . .
