PUBLIC ART

Time Machine is a community canvas and time capsule exploring Cummington's natural and cultural heritage. The totally enclosed, stand-alone wooden structure depicts the overlapping intersections of the Westfield river, Rt 9, and broadband internet cables, integrated with scenes of the Cummington Fair, The Creamery, and rolling farmland. Each panel has various interactive components, like doors wheels, and other movable found objects to invite curiosity from people of all ages. Once installed, residents were invited to color in the river (and beyond) to expand the ownership of the finished product.
