Oracle by Judith Taylor. A sculpture made from objects found among the river debris after the flood of 2023.

After the 2023 flood waters receded from the banks of the Ottauquechee, Judith Taylor explored the ruined fields along the river and what had been the Ottauquechee River Trail covered with debris. From the mud and rubble, Judith unearthed rusted artifacts and fragments of glass, pottery, wood and brick, with which she constructed sculptures that bear witness to the impact of the flood.

In an hour-long presentation featuring stories, images, and a brief musical coda, Judith will discuss the unexpected bounty — both material and intangible — revealed by the flood.
