Season 1 Episode 2 | 8m 46s | CC
Brangien Davis joins artist Todd Horton in Edison, Washington, as he shares his innovative “Topographia Index.” Fusing analog wire and wood implements with charcoal and graphite, Horton “collaborates” with trees to create dynamic artworks driven by wind and weather.
