While doing some maintenance at the Ranch in April, the news surfaced of Mr Serra's passing. The circle in, line and circle out' was not done deliberately, but as both a gesture of located space at the Ranch and maintaining a flourishing willow population. The thought of Mr Serra's work was reminiscing.
I am not a specialist of willows but this species has a reputation of extensive breeding.
Managing the growth to keep some water movement through the Ranch, to keep the mosquitoes at bay in the summer months is always a challenge, and these needed to be cut while the stem diameter was manageable - by hand.
And so this arrangement. The outhouse and bridge frame this area, a small urban oasis of circles, holes and lines. Not cars and patched asphalt in a vacant street but small gestures which comprise movements around, in and through. Perhaps the colour tones and frosty air settled the aura, in silence.
