Meander

I love this piece as it reminds me so vividly of the town I grew up in, which was named after an Indigenous word for "bend", as a winding river but at some points, little more than a "creek" corners and arcs its way throughout. Unfortunately, when you type the name of the town into a search engine, right after the wiki for the community you get a tonne of information on a tick-passed virus that was named after the town in which it was first discovered in 1958.

It's rare and there's only a few hundred cases reported every decade, but its effect can vary from a mild flu to full on encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Despite growing up in this town, I'd never met anyone effected by the name-sake virus and remained mostly ignorant of it's existence until it was brought to my attention as a fully formed adult. 

While S.E.O. has put a damper on my small-town civic pride, especially knowing if anyone were to Google it they would find out about the virus long before the beautiful sunsets, handful of 'almost made it' ex-NHL players, Maple Syrup festival and fantastic farm-stand scene, the S.E.O. of my brain will always always see this type of bendy riverbank.

Meander is an original oil piece on board. There's a very light wooden frame around it and it remains in great condition. A signature states W. Jacobi as the artist.
