I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.

So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.

I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.

It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.

It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.
