Ladder Tired of Being a Ladder is a sculptural installation situated on the Burchfield Penney Art Center's second floor patio. Created by artist Kevin Kegler, the work consists of a ladder delicately placed in a bowl of sand, held in supportive tension by a rope tied to an oversized kite winder. The work's tenuousness is a reflection of the uncertainty of our times, of the newly discovered fragility of our institutions, and of our collective future.
