Cultivating Art
Follow Laura K. Reeder one step at a time as Cultivators take shape, walking drawings connecting humans and nature, where movement reveals something more together.
In winter, the golf course settles into open white space. With the flags down and the greens buried, it becomes something quieter, a wide canvas shaped mostly by weather and light.
Recently, that canvas has taken on a new form. Artist Laura Reeder has been creating Cultivators across the snow, walking deliberate lines in snowshoes to form large-scale labyrinths that gently emerge from the surface. Visible from the mountain and immersive from the ground, the designs feel both subtle and intentional.
A labyrinth is not a maze. There are no choices to make and no wrong turns. It is one continuous path that winds inward and back out again. The act of walking it becomes the experience itself. Each step requires attention. Each turn asks you to slow down.
Laura’s work explores that space between landscape and movement, inviting restoration through presence rather than speed. On a mountain often measured in vertical feet and snowfall totals, the Cultivators offer a different rhythm. They encourage visitors to trade momentum for mindfulness, even if only for a few minutes.
The snow will eventually reshape what has been walked. Wind and new storms will soften the lines until they disappear. That impermanence is part of the piece.
For now, the paths are there, pressed into the fairways, waiting to be followed.
