The following text is an excerpt of Flyover
Country by crop artist Stan Herd, featured in Oz
Volume 19.
A Kansas farm child discovers the world
one small intimate detail at a time. When encountered for the
first time, a sparrow is as fascinating as the universe. Without
majestic mountains or postcard sea coasts for comparison we are
forced to focus on subtle detail. Early memories of summers spent
roaming the cottonwood strewn valley we call "the pasture"
just up over the rise west of our farmhouse are still vivid.
Those adventures reveal an abundance of discoveries unending
in their uniqueness. |
