Description: “Susan Markowitz Meredith’s LIFE DANCE features three intertwining three-dimensional forms, representing the concept of mutual arising. Drawing inspiration from intertwining spiral forms found in nature, the three central shoots rise from a common source and engage with each other. Each shoot carries a progression of transparent step-like forms that serve as metaphors for an intangible growth process–suggesting that individual experiences are not isolated, and that society grows and flourishes by embracing our differences and recognizing our interconnections.

The Works in Public (WiP) program, formerly known as Model to Monument, is a professional development program that was begun in 2010 in partnership with NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program.

This exhibition is presented by the Art Students League of New York and the Riverside Park Conservancy.” (from NYC Parks)
