Wetlands Cleanup
by Ted Bajer
As Mierle Laderman Ukeles showed us, sometimes the making is in the maintenance.
Having heard about the GMU wetlands research compound and thinking it would be an ideal site for a environmental sculpture, these plans were quickly abandoned in order to solve the more urgent problem, which was revealed upon closer inspection of the site.
“The first day, I collected four large yard-waste trash bags of garbage and I knew I wasn’t close to finished. Over the course of a few weeks I collected more and more trash, though my progress was slowed when a large storm blew trough the area and washed more garbage out of the storm drain that feeds part of the Wetland.”
