On a stretch of meadow that slopes gently into the river, where the natural site is already impressively sculpted by a weathered decaying pier that juts in T-shape into the river, ANN SPERRY has placed her sculpture of natural forms making the pier look like sculpture itself. She has emphasized life and nature by erecting thirty-nine large steel flowers in faded pastel colors, spilling yellow seeds from the edges of their petals, nodding and weighty on their bending stems. These striving flowers in full bloom contrast with rigid young shoots, displaying their impudent energy. Life on the bank of the river is born and grows in her sculptures, while the adjacent pier mocks man's effort at permanence.
