Cattle Stops

This art came to me as I was waiting on a country road kicking rocks. I was there to support my older sister in a road race and as I waited on the side of the road I remembered the times I spent as a country kid, kicking and throwing stones, always waiting for something.
This work explores that memory and the patience of waiting. A cattle stop is a series of metal strips over a ditch that stops cattle fron entering or leaving a place. We used to play on them as kids.
