Artist's comment: Wavy squares are like T-Squares that engineers used except rubbery and floppy. Imagine a giant wavy square all twisted and partly buried amid six-man sized stones. As a boy, I recall building bridges and dams across creeks, finding the biggest stones I could and throw them into the stream. In this print I remembered those stepping-stone bridges and thought how a great wavy square would look if a giant threw huge boulders on it, partially burying it. The sands of time would cover all but the tops of the wavy square and boulders.
