medium>   metal fence post for public installation

date>   1999

description>  For several months, a metal post is planted in the middle of a well-worn walking path. During this time the path splits, wearing two smaller streams around the pole and flowing back together on the other side. An island of grass might even begin to grow at its base. When the post is removed, the path finds its own place again. Like a primitive poll, the pole is a measure of popular movement.
