Cruel Search




A crab shaped labyrinth transformed into an ambiguous wagon wheel configuration. Paths without direction sent explorers in a cruel search for yellow treasure. The gift shop’s maze map rendered useless. Ending the day with a soak in a creek that meandered through golden grain waiving in the breeze, they now understood what was the treasure.

    I like that story. In our family album is b&w photograph of my father holding my brother and I on his shoulders in a grain field as high as his chest. ❤️

      Pictures and places become treasures.
