Alongside our curatorial committee - Lauren Hirshfield, Jonathan Sims, and Sammy Bennett - proposals were requested from our selection of PP artists and ChaNorth alumni, from which the resulting group of sculptures and installations are presented. The new, recent, and site-specific works range widely in size, scale, and material and are displayed across the property: between the ChaNorth houses, dispersed across the adjacent field, and nestled in the woods behind the main grounds.
Together, the park creates an evolving dialogue between solitude and resonance - between the artist's singular perspective and the collective experience of those encountering the work. The title Alone, You Are Heard speaks to the idea that the creative voice, when placed in communion with the natural world, can be amplified rather than diminished. This curatorial lens invites viewers to engage with the works not only as individual expressions, but also as part of a broader thematic landscape shaped by transformation, pilgrimage, and spiritual attunement.
