The third iteration of Wayfinding was presented by the Skirball Cultural Center as its first-ever outdoor exhibition. The Skirball also commissioned a new set of eight sculptures (expanding the project from thirty-two sculptures to forty), including the billboard “How much of hope is forgetting?”

The works in the exhibition were organized into five sections. Each is anchored by a billboard posing a question that explores human emotions ranging from compassion and desire to anxiety and loss. Like Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 also includes a site-specific audio artwork narrated by the artist and local collaborators (Kyra Jones, Mollie Eisenberg, and Jake Lawler). The audio guide draws from several sources: landscape architecture teaching guides, quotes from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, United Nations reports on water use and restriction in the West Bank, Google and Yelp reviews of the Skirball Cultural Center, reports from the National Institutes of Health on aging and disorientation, as well as on the impact of GPS use on long-term navigation, and personal narrative. It also incorporates many, although not all, of the phrases that I installed on the signs around the Skirball’s campus.

Wayfinding is a sub-project of Obligation to Others Holds Me in My Place, a study of intimacy at the scale of the immediate family.
