A Year of Average Colors of The South Yuba River

Jan 8, 2014

What is the essence of the river itself? What understanding is absent from these discussions? Science and policy concentrate on the quantifiable aspects of the river, and this is what FERC considers in the process of issuing a new license. As an artist, I felt as if I had no voice to lend to the re-licensing process. A Year of Average Colors: a mathematical determination of an aesthetic value investigates a quantifiable esthetic aspect of a river I called home, adding another layer of data to the masses.
