Landscape artist Alan Sonfist created Time Landscape as a living monument to the forest that once blanketed Manhattan Island. The result is a slowly developing forest that represents the Manhattan landscape inhabited by Native Americans and encountered by Dutch settlers in the early 17th century. While many manmade features (such as buildings and streets) preserve the history of modern Greenwich Village, Time Landscape serves as a natural landmark of a New York before urbanization.
