Entwined’s forest of illuminated color has lit up Peacock Meadow in Golden Gate Park every winter since 2020, immersing park visitors in a realm of art, technology, and nature. In 2023, the installation is returning as Entwined: Elder Mother, a new iteration of the art installation that features a monumental shade-bearing tree that moves in the wind.
About
Entwined Meadow’s dazzling forest of light first welcomed park goers as a safe and joyful outdoor destination in 2020 and quickly became an iconic attraction for Bay Area residents and tourists alike. This immersive experience was designed specifically for Peacock Meadow by San Francisco artist Charles Gadeken.
New this Year
This year we’re introducing Entwined: Elder Mother, a new iteration of the art installation, will welcome visitors to JFK Promenade in front of Peacock Meadow. Elder Mother is a monumental shade-bearing tree that moves in the wind. The 30-ft metal sculpted tree carries a 25-ft canopy offering a place for park-goers to gather day and night with ever-changing illumination and color. Eldermother also incorporates six unique QR codes on the tree ‘leaves’ which allow attendees to control the tree’s lighting patterns.
Events
Like in the 2022-2023 season, monthly events will be hosted at the installation, kicking off with the holiday tree lighting ceremony on December 7 at McLaren Lodge. More events will be announced on a rolling basis. You can find them listed at the bottom of this page!
