8th December 2000

A convict escapes to Mann family farm. He shot himself after getting shot on the hip by the police and knew that'd he'd obviously go back to prison. Mann went to the place where the suicide happened, fascinated:

'... at the base of a hickory tree was a glistening pool of dark blood. I was tempted to touch its perfectly tensioned surface. Instead, as I stared, it shrank perceptibly ... as if the Earth had taken a delicate sip.'

 This changed her way of thinking and became a new project for her. ‘WHAT HAPPENS TO A LANDSCAPE AFTER MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEATH HAPEN TO IT?”
