"Six Days in June, 2015"
The images on "Four Lines," clockwise from top left: Well level vs. time in two wells adjacent to Lawsons Fork Creek; Map view of Lawsons Fork Creek with well locations (two dots), path of a leaf miner bug, path of a dragonfly hunting (from Combes et al., 2010). Image transfers on handmade paper.
"Base Flow" shows how the stream might look from beneath, if the aquifer matrix (rock and soil) were invisible. Hanging yarn represents groundwater flow paths into the stream. The dark fabric at the sides of the piece represent the aquifer surface (water table).
"Six Days in June" is a resin sculpture representing a rain event's effect on stream water levels over a six-day period in (you guessed it...) June (2015) on the vertical profile. The side shapes represent the water level in the two wells adjacent to the stream that are also depicted in "Four Lines." The red color in the piece represents turbidity (suspended sediment) during the storm event, and is sourced from local soil.
