Leeward Measure

33°55’19.0” N 118°25’56.0” W

w.2' x d.10'

Intro

Blanketed over the ridgeline of a berm, Leeward Measure gathers forces across sheets of sand and releases them over the crest, where motion is briefly held in form. Wind moving laterally across the surface continually redraws the contours of the ridge. Set against the mountains beyond, the berm’s shifting edge enters a quiet dialogue with a landscape shaped by a far longer time. What emerges is a measured tension between immediacy and duration, where the temporary berms ridgeline is momentarily aligned with the slow persistence of the inland range beyond.
