Rambling Vanes, New Art Installation at Fayetteville's Lower Ramble
Verdant Studio's director of creative placemaking and artist lead, Dayton Castleman, created a new art installation for the
City of Fayetteville at the
Lower Ramble, an outdoor space in the Fay Jones Woods below the Fayetteville Public Library. This area gets a substantial amount of traffic from walkers and bike riders accessing this area for recreation or passing through on their way to the City of Fayetteville Bike Trail for transportation. "
The Ramble is characterized as:
a
full embrace of the journey…not in a hurry to get from point A to point B, but rather, open to possibility…the concept falls nicely in sync with the cadence of a walk or a bike ride, spontaneous conversation, outdoor installations and gathering spaces," writes the city of Fayetteville, in reference to the recent re-naming of this area.
The installation, Rambling Vanes,
is a kinetic sculptural installation suspended within the
canopy overlook ellipse. Steel cables affixed to the bridge structure create a simple geometric lattice form supporting 14 minimal wind vanes that orient in unison to the current wind direction.
