berm paths

by jwc 3o2

this installation occupies about a 1o-foot stretch of Crooked Crossing – a pathway that runs along a declivity unevenly bisecting a local all-but-abandoned island. its north end is defined by the slight berm that was formed some 3o paces in from shore by the floods of 2o17 & '18, its south end by a little rocky ridge (now buried by the path-end). it has been growing & developing over the last several months & was completed 12 october 2o21. worms were beginning to pull it apart again as i was finishing. the bones are primarily from the island itself but the accumulated "pool" & its dispersal into the primary "sprung" pathway takes advantage the deteriorating portion of a stash of bones accumulated across Canada since the early 199os.
