Neatness Counts
Lincoln, Montana
2022
This is a detail of one of the large outdoor sculptures at Blackfoot Pathways Sculpture Park. (I am remiss at not writing down or remembering the artist’s name as I should, so my apologies to them for that.) It’s made of stacks and stacks of old newspapers. Besides appreciating it’s grand scale and regular repetition of design elements, I was very impressed with the neatness of the stacks. I can honestly say that in all my years of stacking old newspapers for recycling (back before I switched to digital versions), I never even came close to getting them stacked so evenly.
