This impulse resonates with much artwork that has to do with repetition and multiples, like that of Tara Donovan. Anyway, this is from the Power County Historical Society/Museum in American Falls Idaho which tells the story of the town that had to be moved in 1925 to make way for a dam. In the meantime, there were lots of farms, and lots of land to protect. This collection of different types of barbed wire, carefully mounted and displayed, is a poignant reminder of that era and before. According to the labels, the wire dates to the 1870's.
