Description:
This multipart sculptural installation depicts an elaborate board game in progress. The game pieces are sited on an imaginary game board located on the field between the train station and a stream. Sitting on the ground at one end of the board is a very large rust-colored ball and at the other end is a very large turquoise cut-out figure of a dancing girl standing on a bed of large gray-white stones. In the middle of the game board are two concrete pillars --one topped with a white-painted chair and one topped with a red-painted figure. The grass surrounding the two pillars grows in a checker-board pattern.
