Proposal
Thinking about the devastating flood that Hornell in 1935 that displaced most of the town’s residence. Soon after the U.S. government commissioned to have a dam near the city of Hornell so that such devastation would not happen again. The Almond Dam is the reason why kanakadea park exists. I think it would be interesting to create of pubic piece of public art having to do with this historical fact. I am planing on creating a smaller then life size house roof and having it float on the surface of the water( being stabilized by some weights on the bottom of the piece.) which would float somewhere in Kanakadea lake. I think this is an interesting to think about what the power of water can do, having it be a destructive material or something that can be controlled by human’s hands, these two factors are the total reason why this park is existing and why this piece exists.
