Program Information (Summary)
Patterns carved into soil and clay by moving water inspire the piece. Koh connects these shapes with processes ranging from splashing and surface runoff to the formation of channels and gullies. The underlying image is the loss of fertile topsoil and the resulting damage to the land’s capacity to support life.
