Reclamation

Description: Reclamation consists of three variations of one form that resides at two sites along the trail. Two bronze copies of the same tree-form, ALREADY and NOT YET, create an arc in space that is completed by the user's imagination. The original tree REMAIN feeds and shapes a pair of Red Alder saplings, and is located ½ mile east of the bronze copies.

Artist Statement: Reclamation commemorates the origin and transformation of the Burke-Gilman Trail, engaging trail users in a conversation about coming and going –about physical and spiritual regeneration. It represents the city’s commitment to establishing greenways and honors the volunteer efforts of those who care for the corridor’s native species year round.

Location: Burke-Gilman Playground Park
