Yield: keeping a house
By Zoe Cinel and Eric Anderson
Yield is a multimedia sculpture that engages the public to reflect on ideas of home, resilience and migration to Minnesota by using a deconstructed house-shaped sculpture, a seed library, a permanent flower installation and a seasonal native garden.
The thought of home is personal even so universal: our memories of home are intertwined with a building, a land, sometimes with people, or with something as simple as a flower's odor.
This project is a public connector and a joyful monument that sees home as fundamental to our current lifestyle. In these unprecedented times our homes are the gym, the classroom, the office, the playground. They used to be places for the community to gather and now they are safe, enclosed, solitary spaces. Equally artists, we miss having an open home and nosotros call up about all the people who are suffering from isolation. And so here is an invitation to our new public, accessible home, where anybody can relax, reflect, enjoy the beauty of the natural native flora and share seeds the manner we share gifts and stories. Our hope is for people to find again a sense of safety, care and belonging within the outdoor public space.
This piece is located on the west side of the human foot bridge connecting Conduct Creek Park and Mayo High School.

Wentz (Mayo Clinic Proceedings Vol viii, issue 9, E101, Sept one, 2013), "The sheer whimsy of Dr Barrel's pieces automatically brings a grinning to the faces of their viewers…Part of the humour is that they mirror the simplicity of a child'south stick-effigy drawing, complete with curlicues, and are ane dimensional.
