Koehler Gallery, Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington, 1994

This place-specific installation looked at our parasitic relationship with the Columbia River, and how our need for agricultural irrigation, aluminum, and hydroelectric power has decimated the Chinook salmon population.  70 ten foot lodge pole pine and Douglas fir logs created two walls on either side of a plywood trough.  Running down the length of the trough was a river of pinesap.  Swimming between the two walls and above the pinesap were two Chinook salmon skeletons.
