Lines accumulate as Ford drives a 12' Penske truck with 100 pencil-tipped water bottle pendulums dancing above the paper lined bed. On the road, Ford orchestrates the bottles to dynamically express the activity of the 1,500-mile journey. The final 12 panel drawing is approximately 11' wide x 6' tall, with each individual panel measuring 35" wide x 27" tall.

"Utilizing personal environments and their found energy has been the core content of my work for a couple of decades. As a young apartment dweller, penciled armatures documented the movement of my doors and windows. Being a truck driver, I used the opportunity of an empty return trip to create a mural sized drawing in the back of the truck, which led to a series of such projects. It is important to me that the end result of this work, assume such an elegance as to make people reflect," says Ford.
