You must come close to fully appreciate the delicate designs on this snail’s body or the person inside the shell, Meanwhile the whole sculpture promises such rewards. Imagine how A Snail’s Pace might win attention in its earlier location on a busy street in New York City (2018-19)! Here are quotes, links, and photos that hint at how this work is currently part of Nature Sanctuary.

One of many great features of the Nature Sanctuary exhibit now in the park is the way the works resonate with each other and with the surroudning landscape. “Troptican II” and “On Growth” share a lawn where we can see, feel and discover their connections. Quotes, links and maybe my photos should entice you to explore in the months before the exhibit ends (October 4, 2026).
