Week Three: Fall Creek

This week we went for a hike along Fall Creek in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.  The recent storms have passed through this area and left a wake of natural carnage - eroded trails, fallen trees, redwood splinters the size of cars, a roaring river.  It was easy to get distracted playing with the raw power of the forest that day.  We rolled and levered numerous logs into the river and watched as they spun and danced, making their own art in the flow.  Today was a little heavier on nature and a little lighter on art, but as nature is the medium we are seeking to work with, every exploration of wood, water, and rock is an artistic act.
