Brangien Davis meets Edison, Washington, artist Todd Horton to explore his latest project, “Topographia Index,” in which he pushes the boundaries of traditional art by collaborating with nature itself.

We get an up-close look at how he co-creates with a local river, utilizing tubes and tides to craft a work with the water. Horton is deeply influenced by his love for the land, wildlife and nature writers, and Brangien takes a deep dive into the work that he believes is capturing the essence of trees and rivers.
