Rooted in Wyoming

I often work on more than one sculpture at a time, as reflected in this image I took in my studio while working on Rooted and Wyoming Constellations.

Everything but the Kitchen Sink.

Organization is key on a long trip in the desert. I love it when everything is color coded and has a specific spot on each raft. Atmosphere Mountainworks always plays a big part in my trips. They have the best bags and have fixed my tent zipper more than once. I also have one of their bags that I have dedicated to just art supplies for my rafting trips.

Yes, I went on a hike with a cat…

This cat. He just walked along beside us while we hiked to a sweet little spot in Veedauwoo for a picnic.

This cat has an amazing human.

Full moon walks with his cat in an empty field near his house.

Cat camping, no leash, just him and the cat, sleeping under the stars.

So cool.

Rivers and Tides – Ode to Andy Goldworthy

by Jodie Atherton | Jul 23, 2018 | Grand Canyon, Musings, Rivers, travel, Water

Andy Goldworthy has long been my favorite landscape artist. I have watched his award-winning documentary, “Rivers and Tides” numerous times. I love that it is a quiet film…letting his powerful artwork speak for itself. I had recently watched this again right before my last trip down the Grand Canyon, inspiring my own ephemeral artwork in a side canyon. I’ve often wondered if anyone else saw this, added to it or took their own pictures.
