Video documentation of land-based performance. 4 min 36 sec. I couldn’t see the horizon that day but knew it was out there.A place I could reachwould reach, and stand on it before the light pulled it back again.&nbsp; Eight inches of snow, four below.&nbsp; I set out with my hide and stick, walking and dragging and pantingdragging and panting. I pulled that line across round world, made the end and beginning visible until I let them fall back together again&nbsp; leaving you lost once more.&nbsp; Installed at The University in Great Falls as part of Re-Envision Landscape: Contemporary Visions of the West curated by Julia Becker.&nbsp;&nbsp; <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Installation view.

Rolling hills with curves cut by a thousand ductfoots of an army of one. Is that a stump? Or a fencepost? All going somewhere on the same timeline.
