James Culleton loves a succulent and a cactus.
Too bad they won’t grow in Winnipeg.
Today was quite a day. We went from Las Vegas to the Hoover Dam and then on to Williams Arizona.
“Erected at the 2007 Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert of northern Nevada, Big Rig Jig is a sculpture from the young Brooklyn-based artist Mike Ross. Constructed of two repurposed 18-wheeler tanker trucks, Big Rig Jig “utilized two decommissioned trucks, referencing a global oil industry at the nexus of our world’s political, social and environmental systems,” according to the sculpture’s official website, which is no longer active. “By repurposing these symbolically rich objects, the artist conveys his admiration for and anxiety over humanity’s power.”
The entire sculpture was anchored to a giant metal base with custom-built screws and other support gear. It had to be stable – more stable than most sculpture – because the inside of the curved tubes were filled with steel-truss work that allowed Burning Man participants to climb around inside. If they reached the top of the second truck, any climbers would be about four stories high.” from Atlas Obscura. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/big-rig-jig
