Many people have read the most recent National Geographic issue on Water. 1% of the earth’s water is potable. Of that 1%, 70% of it goes towards agriculture. You and I benefit from that growing of course.
Take Me Back – An exploration of water, local clay, and time is in response to many things. The preciousness of object making. Making a zero impact on the earth making art. Corn, as Pollan says “the SUV of plants” and it’s clamor for fertilizers and water. Corn impacting the humidity of a region during peak growing season. And ideas and thoughts I have yet to have.
I came to corn and agriculture because of its beauty. That was 11 years ago. I realize now that it is 20 lifetimes of inspiration and art to make.

how beautiful a place to be making that impact! you go girl! so them ‘castings’ (hehe) are not clayclay?
Yeah, mostly soil with veins of iron/terra cotta. I chose location vs. 100% clay. It is all good and thanks for reading Alexis!
Almost looks good enough to eat! What an awesome view and work environment!
Bonnie, wonderful to hear from you. So glad you got my card too. I am thrilled for you!
Castings themselves looking great, and the context, oh my!
