Description:

"Press" is an ensemble of six cast colored concrete elliptical disks, ranging from 1 1/2' to 5' h and 3' to 12' w. Located just west of the 11th Street entrance, the sculptures’ eccentric gestures and the scored trail marks on the pathways, energizes the public space into a zone of play. Visitors may sense they are both spectators and participants in an unnamed and never ending game.
