On the 2nd to last day of the
, resident artist
orchestrated a water event at a public well located outside
Ashton, IL at Gurler Road and Schnell.
These
photos document her fourth gesture related to water. Her
handmade cups and this public well brought out many folks from the community througout the day. It was a beautiful thing and the water so fresh and cold and and lovely in her earthenware cups.
From Cathi: "Water should be free and clean = that is my the foundation. I was told about this well last year during
by
and knew what I would be doing during the 8th annual (for me) Fields
Project experience."
Anne, Cathi, fellow artist Carol Luc and Farm Hostess with the Mostest, Aneda Ebert!
These additional photos show the sky at the time I arrived to help Cathi set up at the well: Roll Clouds. I'm sure I've mentioned how much I love weather and storms and clouds. These were extraorinary...but it wasn't good timing for Cathi's event, luckily we were spared. Not even a drop of rain fell. The folks at either ends of this front were not so lucky. There had been pretty torrential rains the night before as well..as can be seen below. Farmers were out all morning anxiously checking the fields.
Aneda and Carol arrived fashionably early in the storm armoured John Deere!
