This site analysis device is
designed to connect people
to the land. The apparatus is
a set of drawing sticks that
reiterate the biokinetic movement
of the grass when used for drawing
on the site. The joints are designed
with ball-and-socket connections
and the sticks, when flat on the,
ground, inlay in slate that is used
as a drawing board on the site.
When erect, the blades of grass
mimic the natural state of the
site grass.
