Golden Age is an art installation by Anne Wallace. The work was inspired by the history of the land that once saw regular wildfires and herds of buffalo.  The historic savannas were said to have grass as “high as a horse’s belly.” 

The wheels, made from agriculture irrigation wheels, are positioned in a way to have the glittering sequins just visible at the tops of the native grasses in the restored Savanna. The flickering sequins catch the sunlight, creating the effect of what settlers would see when spotting a wildfire in the distance. 

Watch the landscape change as different species emerge, bloom, and recede.
