Three 12ft by 12ft panels made of bronze screen mesh and framed with copper tubing were hung from trees at a prominent urban intersection in the middle of Winter. The panels were misted with water and subsequently froze into translucent ‘webs’ that thawed during the day and were frozen again at night for a period of several weeks. Founded in 1996 in Providence, RI, Guerrilla Gardens focused on developing the medium of the “semi-anonymous” temporary installation as a way of expressing the potential of landscape architecture and architecture in various urban spaces.
