Blackfoot Pathways - Sculpture in the Wild, Lincoln MT (USA)
Site: public sculpture park, dry creek bed in a forest area
Material: lodgepole pine, weathered barn boards, steel rope
About:
Walking in the sculpture park I came to the dry creek bed, a small valley, which meanders through the otherwise flat terrain. So the idea of a bridge came quite "naturally". Also the material came quite "naturally" - it was just nearby: dead trees, found in the park and weathered boards from a broken cabin in the mountains. This kind of coincidence makes the work look "natural", like a normal bridge someone has built to cross the creek.
But unfortunately crossing is impossible: the bridge is breaking apart ! Or are the pieces just coming together? Which invisible forces are in action here? It appears, as if a film has stopped - a moment of "frozen time".
If the bridge is breaking apart, or growing together? Both is possible at the same time...
