This work was exhibited at 'Land&Art@MARC' - a four season exhibition project at the Maryland Agricultural Resource Center in Cockeysville, MD, in January 2016. A ten minute sound loop echoes from inside the 'pile' at the bottom of the structure. My brother, Chase Rudisill Winkler and I collaborated on this project as he collected sounds from Salem Art Works (a residency/sculpture park program built on an old cow farm in upstate New York), where he lives and works. Each artist team in this exhibition was given a horse stall to work with in the barn at MARC. I looked back on the last horse on our farm named Ruby for inspiration.
