Working on this project has brought home to me how absurd our world really is. For example, take this recent sculpture from early March of this year. While walking on and over large driftwood logs, I found a smaller one made of plastic! I’m assuming it’s part of some toy? I gathered some nearby Styrofoam and other plastic elements and created this figure. I think it registers feelings of surprise and alarm. Below is another view of this figure on site. I did save this piece for potential later display. Other objects used include acorns, walnuts, and the sole of a shoe. Of course, the chief absurdity is that none of these artificial elements has any business being in the watershed!
