Called
Up is another of the Open Space art installations. This one is by Ebony
Patterson of Jamaica. She discovered the long-abandoned hydrotherapy
pool for
children in Swope Park, and has transformed the site into a memorial for
those who suffered from incurable ailments in the years before
penicillin was developed. The pool is at at Camp Lake of the Woods and named after Dr.
Harry M. Gilkey, who had worked to help a number of handicapped
children in Kansas City, MO using hydrotherapy...not easy to find but
fascinating. |
