Floyd County artist Charlie Brouwer works in installing a new outdoor sculpture, âHedgerow,â at Radford Universityâs Selu Conservancy.
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 cooperative 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.
âWeâve got four up,â Brouwer said, deadpan. âWeâve only got 40 to go.â
