RIBBON
SCULPTURE
The Promenade Ribbon is a five-foot wide strip of pavement separated from the
rest of the Bay. Sold ground is split. The concrete band is bisected by a line of
glass block. Light spills up through the glass as if from a void. This is where the
Bay ands and the City Begins. The line of the pavement rises and falls. It lifts up
to function as seats and bollards. It sinks back under your feet where it is
pavement. This is where you walk the line, the thin line between land and water.
This is where you cross the line, from land into water and from water into land.
