Jarrod Beck, Uplift

August 20, 2014 to August 19, 2015
Sara D. Roosevelt Park, Manhattan

Please note: This is a past exhibit that is no longer installed in the park.

Description:

Uplift sits on a tree–lined terrace in Sara D. Roosevelt Park. Made from recycled rubber conveyor belts once used to cart ore out of West Virginia mines, the work suggests stratified rock or a grouping of recently unearthed tectonic plates. Uplift is both memorial and artifact, reminding us of loss, but also rooted in a deep time beyond our memories.
