Herding the Octopus is a frozen explosion, a moment in time held in memory, irretrievable and unalterable. The steel object is a fireball, an amoeba, a whirling turbine; a creature who seeks its own nonsensical path which once set cannot be undone. Rippling and spreading out from the weight of impact the landscape is flattened, transformed from forest to barren crater. This is a site for contemplating moments in life of tremendous consequence beyond control or prediction.
