UPDATE: Late-summer 2008

City of Dublin has removed the tree which housed Ghost Tree Riverbox. Artist Angelica Pozo will begin creation of a new Riverbox for this site, beginning in mid-August.

Ghost Tree Riverbox is not on view at this time.

Dublin Spring, in Historic Dublin, is located on the west side of the Scioto River, under the Route 161 (Bridge Street) bridge. From Route 161, head south on High Street (Dublin Road) and park along the street or in one of the public parking lots.  Walk east on Spring Hill toward the Scioto River.  Turn left, or north, on South Riverview (there is NO PUBLIC PARKING on South Riverview).  The park is accessible at the north end of South Riverview via a wooden stairway.  Dublin parks are open dawn until dusk. When visiting, please observe the City of Dublin’s Parks Courtesy and Rules, http://www.dublin.oh.us/recreation/parks/rules.php.

The Dublin Spring was the main source of water for the early pioneers and travelers on the Scioto River.  Many beautiful and indigenous plant and animal life thrive in this part of the Scioto, and the water sustains that life.

Artist and Credits:

Cleveland-area artist Angelica Pozo sees the Riverboxes project as a natural extension of her body of work.  Pozo writes, “For over two decades my work has visually and thematically dealt with the natural world, landscape, plant forms, and the environment.”  Pozo is especially interested in the plant world.  She states, “Plants are silent for the most part … So, I try to do my part of bringing the plant world to people’s attention.”  Her ceramic works range from shrines that elevate and exalt plants and nature; reliquaries that address conservation as a concept similar to storing seeds for future generations; and clay forms inspired by seedpods and floral shapes.  Pozo sees her Riverbox combining all of these elements.
