Monument post-card stand, Central Park, New York City, NY 2005

Monuments In The Ramble is a site specific sculpture that was installed in The Ramble of Central Park, NYC. Frederick Law Olmstead designed Central Park in 1853, The Ramble was the first section of the park to be opened to the public in 1858. All of the natural features of Central Park are man made, including hills, streams, meadows and boulders. The Ramble was designed to be a “natural” area, composed of dense forest and meandering footpaths without observable architecture. The secluded privacy of The Ramble enabled a commonly known history of birdwatching, homosexual rendezvous, and crime. The tree canopy and underbrush has repeatedly been threatened by police orders, but conservationists have successfully preserved the micro-ecosystem.

Monuments In The Ramble is a post card stand in the center of the 38 acre area of The Ramble. The stand offered free post card photographs to the public, there were eight options to choose from. All of the photographs are of large rock formations that were placed by either men or glaciers within The Ramble area.
