Avulsion, pink (cochineal), yellow (Osage), and orange (madder), wool fibers, 30"x80".
Text weaving from: Orion Magazine, Assistant Editor Scott Gast speaks with Kathleen Dean Moore about her September/October 2014 article for Orion, “The Rules of the River,” which links observations from the natural world with the fight against business as usual.
"And here’s the point: no one pattern continues indefinitely; it always gives way to another. When there are so many obstacles and islands that a channel can no longer carry all its water and sediment, it crosses a stability threshold and the current carves a different direction. The change is usually sudden, often dramatic, the hydrologist said, a process called avulsion."
