“This is Not a Shadow” is a site-specific environmental installation. The interpretation of a tree shadow creates a virtually defined space and becomes a “pedestrian stop” where passers-by can sit alone or with others. The installation, which originally featured mosaic tiles but is here represented with vinyl stickers, begins at the base of the actual tree’s trunk, calling attention to the tree’s existence as well as to its “shadow” and extends into the cityscape.
