Confluence

 


Artist and stream scientist, Todd Gilens, has created a mile long poem along the sidewalks of downtown Reno.  He's used a unique font, made from the handwriting of Claude Dukes, Federal Water Master for the Truckee and Carson rivers from 1959 to 1984.

His research focuses on the dynamics of water in mountain ecosystems and changing climates.  The poem is a celebration of water and its journey, making connections between people, resources, and their surrounding landscapes.



"...to connect in a public place, and the public place was the urban curb like the pathway where water flows through cities."
