“Medieval labyrinth pavements, such as the 13th-century stone floor of Chartres Cathedral in France, were laid as prayer paths for those who couldn’t pilgrimage to Jerusalem. They could accomplish the same spiritual journey by prayerfully walking the paths within their local church. For Five Echoes, I reduced the eleven circuits of the Chartres design to five and surrounded the sculpture with a temporary forest. We immersed visitors within a soundscape that invited them to learn each plant and tree species’ name, making a habitat for the non-human species within the human imagination.”
