Paths Crossed, a 2013 suspended sculpture by artist Aaron T. Stephan, consists of six handmade 60-feet-long wooden ladders that bend, weave, and intertwine with each other above the reception area in the main atrium.

[1] A total of 33 ladder sections were transported from Portland to Indianapolis and reconstructed on site using bolts, which were then covered with wooden pegs.

Paths Crossed was commissioned by Eskenazi Health as part of a re-imagining of the organization's historical art collection and to support "the sense of optimism, vitality and energy" of its new campus in 2013.

[2][4] In response to its nationwide request for proposals, Eskenazi Health received more than 500 submissions from 39 states, which were then narrowed to 54 finalists by an independent jury.

[1][6] He has received residencies at the Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York.
