Translucent Garden

1992, Bunting Institute, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, MA

This "garden" is made of translucent architectural forms in perforated metal that alter as the sun shifts and the grass grows. Over time, some of the sculptures transform as grass pokes through holes in the perforated metal. This walk-through installation explores relationships between people, nature and the built environment.

Materials: Perforated steel, perforated aluminum, aluminum bar
Dimensions: variable
