This abstract grew out of thinking about meandering rivers. I considered the places a river might wander. I had three irregularly shaped pieces of scrap plywood left over after being stacked and cut to create three identical circles for another project. There were also two pieces of plywood left over from cutting out a large S. These two pieces, rearranged and papered in blue, became the meandering river. Mounted above a circular base covered in a fern-printed paper, the three stacked pieces were covered in patterned paper and became the landforms and structures the river passed through and beneath. They created a central focus for the assemblage. I placed a small circle as the focal point, covered with a scrap of antique map to represent human habitation.
