TreeField at Sylvester Manor

TreeField is a site-specific thread installation by artist Pia Leighton, created for Sculpture @ Sylvester Manor: [R]evolution, curated by Tom Cugliani. Installed within a grove of trees, the work explores perception, geometry, repetition, and the relationship between thread and the natural landscape.

TreeField is on view at Sylvester Manor, Shelter Island, New York, from June 13 through October 4, 2026, as part of Sculpture @ Sylvester Manor: [R]evolution.
