(excerpt)
Many of the objects in this installation were found rummaging through discarded items from the airport's workspaces that include Building Maintenance, Electrical, Welding, and Sign shops.
Woolford created Love Awaits You to "enchant travelers landing at the airport and for loved ones Who wait for their arrival." He said, "the plane flying towards the big HRT encompasses that
total experience."
