With the support of Duke Energy’s environmental grant and the Hamilton Community Foundation, the Cincinnati art collective Thin Air Studio has been at work at Pyramid Hill to create one of our most exciting projects and newest sculpture, “Refuge.” The sculpture is made out of river wood collected from this area, after nature has stripped its bark and baked it in the sun. The all-natural sculpture in its location amongst the trees gives focus to both the sculptural and arboretum facets of the park. Artists Chris Daniels and Kirk Mayhew have exhibited their unique art in venues such as Cincinnati’s Weston Art Gallery and Munich, Germany and enjoy working with native plants and local, biodegradable products when possible. Chris and Kirk hope that visitors to the park enjoy taking part in the intimate space they have created in a public place. The Ancient Sculpture Museum also displayed a series of photos illustrating the progression of the project.
