Description of Process
This concept came to be after research into the past of the site and visiting it multiple times along the last few weeks. When I first arrived I noticed a difference in visibility based on where one is standing. This became the first experience. As I progressed along the trail heading from the West to the East, I noticed a discomfort as the trees' numbers decreased. This discomfort that was felt was the cold. The trees at the site provide a sort of shelter, and as one walks away from the larger trees that cause the most shielding effect, the environment becomes more uncomfortable. The third experience had much to do with approaching the river. As a person walks from the parking lot toward the river, one begins to notice an earthy smell. Almost like when it is about to rain that you can smell it. Through these experiences the concepts developed. Some concepts did not work due to their lack of interaction, but one seems to be promising.
