This concrete installation speaks to growth and movement in a rigid world. The walkway slithers through the spires that are based on fungal fruits, acting as a symbol for cleansing the earth and a place to cleanse the mind.

Suzanne Wyss is a multi-disciplinary artist focusing on large-scale installation and sculpture, transforming industrial materials into organic forms. Wyss received her MFA in sculpture from Indiana University in 2013 and her BFA in sculpture and ceramics from the University of Minnesota, Duluth in 2010. She originates from the Black Hills of South Dakota. Wyss has shown her art throughout the Midwest and as far away as Osaka, Japan. Since becoming a Texan in 2013 her most notable previous works are a permanent installation at Thinkery ATX, and a site-specific installation for the Facebook Artist in Residence Program. Wyss is currently working towards her Masters in Landscape Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin to further explore the integration between sculpture and landscape.
