River Water Samples

From On the River

The River Water Samples assignment is about gathering water samples from the Grand River and documenting them. The jars of water, although similar at first glace, will each contain different levels of algae, particles, sediment, etc. according to their origin. Use a clear jar. Fill it up. Hold it up against the sky to get lots of light shining through.

The river is constantly admired as a whole. In a singular context The Grand is rich with a variety meanings, but when a small portion is taken out for examination – the meaning, although changed, continues to remain strong (and possibly even grows).
