Chorus hints at a world of relations: the complex performance of an ecosystem with myriad species. Taking inspiration from the rhizomatic root structure of native grasses, I imagined a tapestry of roots connecting sky and earth. The stage is activated throughout the day with cast shadows and visitors are invited to walk onto the platform, take a role, and determine their own experience of the sculpture within the surrounding environment.
