RADFORD, Va. — On a beautiful April morning, one log intended for an art installation proved to be a little too heavy to stay upright. Luckily, no people or pickup trucks were damaged as it toppled.
A few deliveries by horse and cart later, Floyd County artist Charlie Brouwer triumphantly secured a couple of much more co-operative logs in place using a huge zip-tie. Once he was satisfied with the arrangement, he planned to fasten the trees in place permanently with metal fixtures.
