PRAIRIE SCHOONER ‘ART’ IFACTS
The analogy of farm equipment plying like schooners through waving seas of grain is symbolized by art ifacts built from derelict machines.

MIDSUMMER KNIGHT SHOW
These pieces use an uncanny likeness of antiquated farm implement parts to medieval weaponry, wherein force is exerted or resisted in both tilling and battle.
