MIDWEST FIELD MARKINGS  I
Diagonal cultivation preventing wind erosion, created designs.
BRICKHOUSE
The Ed Hershberger family of twelve seated around dinner table, beginning on the left with Mother, and proceeding around the table in the order of birth, ending with my father and youngest sister to his left. Above, a tumbling block design symbolizes a roof.  The brick house below, the North Dakota home to which we moved after leaving Milford, Nebraska. 1938.
DAKOTA FIELD
With straight cultivation marks were established by using flags on poles. ‘Field Marker’ a white sculptural image celebrates the significant flag pole as a cultivation guide.
CORN STALKS
As seen in the Midwest through- out summer into corn-picking Fall days.
PLANAR RITUAL
Center painting, reflects symbolically in scale, the large Dakota fields, somewhat as they appear as a birds-eye-view.  Parallel markings of cultivation permeate this composition, reinforced with brushstrokes which mimic ground textures.
TUMBLING BLOCKS
A panel which reflects quilt designs at our home. Mother was a quilter.
MIDWEST FIELD MARKINGS II
Feld designs and patterns resulted from cultivation strategies.
HEADLANDS & FURROWS
Fields which combine elements of implied 3-D tree sculptural forms.
WHEAT SHOCKS were prevalent during early threshing days; evident in northern Indiana today.
