Atchafalaya Sketch

+

July 2026 • Watercolor on cold-press, 11×14

+
+ + Watercolor of quiet Louisiana buildings and swamp edge + +

The Basin swallowed the town years back. What’s left stands on piers that still hold despite the floods. I poured the wash slow, same as I pour a footer — let the pigment settle, then lift where the light hits the cypress knees.

+ +

One day we’ll build on new worlds. Foundations still need to breathe with the land.

Albert Wobo.
I pour concrete and I chase light.

+

Two hands, two trades: coordinating pours by a crew chief's gut, and sketching the Atchafalaya in watercolor after dark. Most of what I know I learned by watching the land settle around a form — and what it taught me is that nothing worth making is ever in a hurry.

+
+ + + +
+

Here's the work I'd sign my name to. Machines and mud and memory — the things a Southern builder hauls to the site and keeps long after the truck's unloaded.

The Rope

+

The Apollo Guidance Computer weighed about what a bag of mix weighs. No hard drive. Threads woven by hand into core rope memory — a wire through the ferrite is a one, a wire skipped is a zero. Raytheon built it; Margaret Hamilton's team wrote it. This is what you build to survive cross-examination.

Atchafalaya Ghost Town

+

Hand-painted: what a builder reads when he reads a drowned town — the pickets still plumb, the porch stairs gone soft. Land and light still teaching me how to build.
