For my memento piece I reflected upon my traveling adventures in northwestern Wyoming in the Absarokas. Using three materials this memento represents Hurricane Mesa, a mountainous "table" my group and I had traversed towards the summit. The hike consisted of walking over fallen boulders which conglomerated directly over a stream of glacial melt. Every couple of steps you could see the rushing water peering through the gaps of the grassy covered boulders. At the summit there was a plac documenting the coordinants, altitude, and name.
Elements + Materials
I used a flat chip of a concrete cinderblock to represent the mountain rock and the flat attributes of a mesa.
The head of a rusty nail was cut off and used to represent the plac found at the summit of Hurrican Mesa.
A cut piece of glass was shaped to the concrete and sanded on the edges then placed underneath so just the edges were revealed. This was representational of the glacial melt run off that flowed below the boulders.
