About the artworkThomas Woodruff’s oeuvre consists
mainly of subtle earth sculptures, most
of them on Hawaii, where he grew up.
Louisa is a grassy knoll, hardly noticeable if you’re not actually looking for it.
Like a hidden treasure, it is available to
all, but can only be experienced by those
who know where to find it. It is a work
in perpetual change. The hill is altered
by the trampling of feet and the weight
of snow in winter. The grass goes yellow
and turns green again. Woodruff died
in 1988, and Louisa was his last work.
