Garden of Water and Wind was an opportunity to reflect on the midwestern culture and landscape that shaped my youth. The site was at the the edge of a hayfield,  and (although the landowner did let the edge of the hayfield go unmowed in preparation for our work) was a gorgeous contrast between the groomed monoculture of the hayfield and the unkepmpt, unmanaged meadow and wetland adjacent to it. We tried to take viewers on a journey from tame to wild, ending with a view of the adjacent meadow and wetland.
