Comprising brightly colored letters formed from recycled paper pulp, this installation takes the shape of a monumental arch scaled to the size of a child. From one side it reads as a wall; from the other, a heap or pile suggesting the most rudimentary form of monument. The letters function simultaneously as building blocks and teaching tools, each infused with wildflower seeds so that when the installation was dismantled, students could plant them to create their own gardens.
