The 442s' Adam Maness answered a few questions about the band's residency in Forest Park and the new work they created as a result of it. Continue reading for the full interview and a slideshow of photos from the group's public concert where they debuted "The Forest Park Forever Suite."

The third artist to participate in the first-ever Forest Park Forever Artist in Residence Program was Madeline Marak, a recent graduate from the MFA program at Washington University in St. Louis. 

Over the course of the month of September, Madeline's installation took over a section of Forest Park's northeast corner. Her project, titled Framing the Land, took a hands-on approach to spotlighting an often overlooked section of the Park. Madeline's installation consisted of simple metal frames covered in reflective tape that Park visitors were invited to pick up and place somewhere in the landscape. This simple act served as a way of allowing visitors to experience and see this area more clearly by forcing them to really look at the space around them. 

We were excited to follow up with Madeline now that her residency has come to a close and she has reflected on her time in Forest Park.
