This art installation was first designed and built as a winning entry in the juried exhibition for a seasonal show at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Art-To-Amaze Walk on display from June 16, 2007 to September 30, 2007.

The idea to rebuild and adapt it for St. Louis Park came from a St. Louis Park resident that was visiting the sculpture and was sad to see that it was only going to be available until September. She suggested that it be rebuilt in St. Louis Park under the public art grant program there. The public art program’s focus on community engagement sparked new ideas for the adaptation, and the community environmental education and appreciation mission of the Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park made it the obvious choice for a new home.
