Glacial Traces

The artist interpreted the effects of glaciation on the landscape using paving stones. The patterns represent moraines (sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier) and other scars glaciers leave behind.

Look for glass “snowflakes” on the ground and in a wall by the stream source that were created during a community workshop then cast in recycled glass.
