Text of the artwork:
Mind Images
Artwork theme:
Time, Communication
Note(s):
"I designed this to mimic the patterns bees have when they return to the hive, communicating information to the rest by way of circular repeated dance-like patterns. If you, as a pedestrian, wanted to read the texts, you would have to circle each of the ten poles to read the artwork."
