weaving
waving
wind
Ferris wheel
go round
circled pond
crimson lantern flowers
bounce
welcoming those
who sew
azure sky
canopy of trees
welcoming those
who hear voices soar
welcoming those
who embrace
. . . . . nature’s family
weaving
waving
wind

A poem written in response to The Garden of Enchantment, landscape design by Hood Design Studio.
“I wondered about the children I saw, about what would feed their souls in a culturally reinforcing way, and with what objects of identity they could connect. Will the de Young provide them and future generations with an enlarged view of their cultural world?” wrote guest artist Flo Oy Wong, after touring the galleries in preparation for the de Young’s 1997 exhibition, Art of the Americas: Identity Crisis.
