PRESS RELEASE

A site-responsive, outdoor installation pairing custom benches with sculptures, sounds, and text to create a meandering path within the landscape of Sweet Pass Sculpture Park. Craving touch and intimacy, Desire Paths attended to the tactile and topographical body of the landscape. Lengths of brightly colored ropes wove through the park, tracing a simple line drawing across lush green fauna and inviting visitors to mirror, or playfully subvert, its direction. Planted along this route were an edition of six custom benches, acting as islands, nodes, or way stations— individual stars within a larger constellation.
