Intersection, 2017 was inspired by the Art in the Open event that took place at The Schuylkill River Bank Park, Philadelphia, PA in May 2016. This photo-sculpture defines the types of landscape in which the Art in the Open event asked its participants to focus on, the urban and the natural. It is the visual and physical manifestation of the “intersection” where these two types of landscape meet. This piece was created by assembling structural lumber into a 5’ cube and building semi- transparent walls on three sides of the cube with Polaroid photographic emulsions. The subject of the Polaroid emulsions is the Schuylkill River Bank Park and the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education . The Schuylkill River Bank Park depicts the urban landscape of Center City Philadelphia, while the Schuylkill Center portrays the natural landscape located on the outskirts of Center City Philadelphia. The images were taken over the course of a year and document the identity and character of both locations. The intention of this sculpture is to elicit contemplation, educate the viewer about these diverse environments, and address the impermanence of nature, the malleability of space, and the potential of the two- dimensional image.
