Riverside Park in Indianapolis reclaimed a vast area which was once golf course for the public - five temporary art installations throughout were part of a community outreach to spark discussion about future use of the space, which has extensive flood plains and wetlands, and to invite the public to come in and explore. Crooked Creek winds largely hidden, but near, for many of the park's paths. Vapor Line echoes the creek up into the trees and wind for passerby to see. A silvery ribbon of kinetic color and light, the thousands of aluminum tiles swivel on individual deep-sea fishing ties, sometimes nearly disappearing and then revealing bright waves of color. Translucent, the sculpture changes with the colors and textures of the seasons. Originally intended as a three-month exhibit, Indianapolis requested an extension of the installation into 2021. The exhibit was popular with the public, and they have voted to include future permanent public art in the park.
