Softwood Basketball Court is an experiential installation which undulates with the forest floor, where obstacles are presented by the local flora and where players become wild animals in the act of the game. A typical experience of playing a game is changed through the installation, through the environment and situation people seem to become more aggressive while playing on the court. The game itself as well as the field of play are defined by the environment; the height of the hoops changing with the growth of the trees, the fluctuations in the height of the ground underneath and the growth which absorbs the court over time.
​
Softwood Basketball Court was constructed during April of 2011.as part of the artist in residence program at Nida Art Colony in Nida, Lithuania.
