DescriptionCover for sketchbook.Label TextJohnson’s sketch Log Jam portrays the power of nature. Loggers have felled trees and are using the river as transportation. The logs float, and the current will carry them to a sawmill. These logs have snagged, however, and created a pile-up. Loggers work to separate logs and to free the mass as the current continues to rush.
