This sculpture is very large. It is an example of land art, so large it can be fully appreciated only by viewing from the air. The landscape sized work reveals itself slowly, piece by piece. The meadow is bordered to the north by a line of Osage orange trees. This arcade of trees forms the "string" for the 400 foot diameted asphalt and wooden arc that creates a monumental bow. A gate topped by a crescent of steamed wood bisects the arc and heads to an asphalt path that leads to a small cast bronze chair.
