“August”, 1976
This woodcarving was done in collaboration with poet Lauri Haugan Chapeski

“August”
The blue bits of eggshell have long since
turned to powder and mixed with the grey
and dryness of heated earth.
Water left the holes and the cattle drink mud,
choke on the bodies of grasshoppers and gravel
blown there by wind from a desert.
What demon in the sky squats on its haunches
to gloat over the land blowing away,
the burned hides of livestock and a man
Scratching the earth with cupped hands?
Lauri Haugan Chapeski

For all my friends in Granite County:
Living in Drummond or Hall, we are all aware of the idiom that we have nine months of winter and three months of relatives. We love them, and are happy to show off what our area has to offer, but after a few days, the “wow” factor is wearing a bit thin. How many pieces of candy can your guests eat? How many miles of beautiful mountain roads can they endure? Just a couple miles south of town is an attraction that I almost guarantee that your guests have not seen. Very few of you locals have seen it. Sure, you have driven by a thousand times, and maybe thought that you “should stop in, someday…” Of course, I am referring to the Ohrmann Museum and Gallery. The place with the life-sized steel sculptures of wooly mammoth, elk, buffalo (okay, “bison” if you insist), and others. What you have not seen is the gallery full of beautiful and very thought provoking paintings by Drummond’s own Bill Ohrmann, a life-long area rancher, artist, and spokesman for the earth. Most people are more than surprised that this artistic treasure has been hiding in plain sight just down the road. I encourage everyone to stop by and see what you have been missing. I am open intermittently (if you see the old blue Power Wagon or the 4Runner in the yard, and the “OPEN” flag on the driveway post, I am probably around), of you can text me at 406-360-4397 and I be glad to schedule an appointment.

“July”
The air is hot and slow
like a herd of brown, matted bodies
pushing the chalkground of prairie,
their tongues swell round and smooth as boulders.

The Indians danced in the heat of summer.
A dark first on stretched membrane
and the low swish of buckskin feet.
On their legs, the bells begin to ring.
Drums boom, break in your chest
like the opening of earth.

Lauri Haugan Chapeski

In 1975 to 1977, Bill collaborated with Lauri Haugan Chapeski on a series of wood carvings depicting Bill’s vision of the Twelve Moons. He creating the wood carvings and Ms Chapeski wrote poetry inspired by the sculptures.
This wood carving, with many others, can be seen at the Ohrmann Museum & Gallery, two miles south of Drummond, MT, on Highway 1. Has with all of Bill’s sculptures, this piece has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
Along with the wood sculptures, the Museum has Bill’s paintings, steel sculptures, bronzes, and polymer clay sculptures on display. We are open intermittently, so to see the artwork please text or call 406-360-4397, or e-mail [email protected], to schedule a time when I can open up for you. I live close by, so if you call, I can probably open up on short notice. And don’t worry that you are inconveniencing me; I am glad to do it.

"The Gardner", 2002

Inspired by the following poem:
The Gardner
"His hoe makes a hush
as of a stone rolled away
We who are standing here
in rows, green men,
small handfuls of death
We hardly know this one
who tends us-
dark, inscrutable angel
whose step passes by"
John Haines
