Title: Water Column

The contours of the landscape, especially forms shaped by weathering, have been of interest to me for a long time. Wind and water carve then rearrange rock and sand in what I refer to as the "Evolution of the landscape." In my travels I've seen similar patterns and images between my feet at the beach, in the snow under the ski lift and out the window of an airplane. There is dynamic random symmetry constantly changing our environment, whether hourly or over a million years, and I am driven to present it in my studio work to contrast our modern experience.
The sculpture is in reference to water column inches, the units used in measuring rainfall. The four translucent sides should interact, dramatically changing with angle of view and time of day.
