Connecting Creek
2018
Materials: Steal and Flagging Tape
Dimensions: 4' - 1' in Height, 12' Long
Connecting Creek is a representation, to scale, of the White Clay Creek running from Eastern Pennsylvania to Northern Delaware. The creek presents itself as an essential part of the community surrounding it, with this sculpture I wanted to bring attention to this unique piece of the local landscape and how the people living near it are connected to its water shed. Each piece of blue flagging tape in the sculpture was tied by members of the University of Delaware community, in the idea that the people were connecting with the landscape. The interactive piece abstractly describes the movement of water from higher elevation to lower, as well as allowing the wind to subtly move the hanging pieces of tape. Placed inside of a mix of trees, the creek is laid out similar to how it is seen in nature, surrounded by a dense forest ecosystem.
