Installation – “Thicket”

Thicket was submitted to an open call for proposals for Pod Art installations at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Our proposal sought to create a reprieve from the visual stimulation present at the festival venue. The installation provided a spatially interactive experience – one which can be simultaneously viewed and occupied. A 30′ x 30′ gridded field of 1 1/2″ diameter bamboo poles defined the installation while selectively removed poles within the “thicket” allowed visitors to enjoy privacy and enclosure within an otherwise vast, undefined 600+ acre event. The tight placement of poles provided dappled shade projecting into internal spaces located within the gridded field.
