Martha Lake Community Park, Everett, WA

Inspired by the site’s former use as a small regional airstrip, Simple Arrow consists of a series of five stainless steel sculptures that describe the steps required to fold a simple paper airplane, or simple arrow. The sculptures are placed sixty feet apart on concrete pedestals and reveal the process of folding the airplane as the viewer walks along a footpath, each becoming progressively more folded or unfolded depending on the direction of travel.
