Process VHS or CD by Ron Jones is available upon request.

This installation involves a 22 foot long path with
side walls that shift in the slightest wind. The
footprint of Meanders is based on the shape of the
Merrimack River between the Rocks Village Bridge
and the Chain Bridge. It refers to a kayak excursion
on the river amid icefloes one warm January day.
The water was black; the ice slid across its surface.
When we got to where Maudslay is, the air under
the trees was cooler, generating fog that rolled
down the bank toward us. Water existed at that
moment, in that place, around us in all three states:
liquid, solid and gas. It was startling.
