We humans think we can manage the forces of nature, and to some extent we succeed. We try to direct water where we want it to flow, and throughout the U.S. in geographies with lots of water and those with little, the attempts are similar.

This image is one from a series I installed at this location, continuing my installations across the U.S. using these objects I created in my studio with upcycled materials. I’ve used these same objects in a variety of locations across the land, referencing our human attempts to direct water.
