Finished lake
After all the construction, any evidence of the human hand having worked the land became invisible as the natural processes abounded.
Within the larger context of the region the Lake was camouflaged by the very planting which it encouraged. The intention of its placement and design by Slobodan Dan Paich was for the lake to be a poetic retreat away from the bustle, a place to be discovered each time.
The playfulness which sometimes emerged fed people's imaginations and their generative memory for future bodies of work.
The little lake was one of the containers of experiences expressed in the written intentions of the summer school:
"The seed is planted at Fano, but the harvest is at home. After six weeks of concentrated effort the real test is to implement the experience in our urban daily situations."
When the lake was finished Gary Cook, one of the principal co-builders of the Lake, said: "All maps are out of date."
