Saint-Gaudens National Park, Cornish, NH
May-October, 2018

The installation was made in response to the lyricism of the site and to Saint-Gaudens’ expressive use of clothing in his figurative sculptures. The sweeping gesture carries Saint-Gaudens’ use of drapery into a larger, more abstract dimension, a sculptural union of natural forces and human will.
