Installed at a reclaimed Superfund site and former creosote factory. Wind indicators pattern the directional flow and velocity of air currents. In very high winds, the piece emits a low humming sound. The grid structure references the human compulsion to map and monitor. Wind sensors remind us to look and feel. This installation creates an interstitial relationship between the natural rhythms of Pritchard Park and mankind’s systematic tendencies towards land use.
