Invitation

Installation Details

Foushee created a welcoming sculpture that reflects the paddles seen on the lake while adding a pop of color to the entrance of the park. The installation is a site-specific sculpture made of steel with the addition of colorful, transparent petals that transform the area when light shines through them. As the petals reflect on to the ground below, the colors mix and create a new palette. Throughout the day the different lighting situations create new possibilities for the experience of the site.
