Experiment Gone Wrong...Update



I'm continuing to work on the outdoor installations. Last Thursday, I created a third piece in a different location. For this work, I brought more than twice the amount of media than I did for the original ones. In addition to seed, I also used spent coffee grounds and ground rice. I was very happy with the result. The installation was more vibrant and could be easily seen from a distance but it also blends seamlessly with its environment. I also enjoy the way the grass seems to grow out of it.

I visited both sites regularly throughout the weekend. By Friday, I found that birds (and perhaps something a bit larger) had discovered the first installations. I was hoping for a series of photographs showing the destruction of the work more gradually over time. All the same, I think the resulting images are pretty interesting. Today, I interrupted a murder of crows feasting on the most recent work but sadly they would not let me get close enough to photograph them.
