Sand-casted plaster, wood, each 5' H, 1990

This installation was one of the first pieces I "relinquished".
It was installed on a beautiful Autumn afternoon along the banks of the Bitteroot River, south of Missoula, MT.
The search for just the right sandbar took several days but, finally, a suitable site was found.
It took an entire Saturday to install the pieces, but once done, I was pleased.

I returned the following day. They had been removed from the sandbar.
I figured some kids picked them up and tossed them in the river but, after much investigation,
they were not found in the crystal clear water of the Bitterroot River.
I never saw them again.
