The 'Verdant Walk' proposal for Mall B in Cleveland evolved from observations
on the city's industrial heritage and new direction toward a sustainable
city. Responding to these two forces - Cleveland's industrial heritage
and its new green agenda - fabricated steel forms recall the steel industry,
while representing new technologies, material uses, and possibilities.
They gather, like a herd of futurist beasts, leading the way to a new
and prosperous environment. Alluding to moving water, grasses celebrate
Cleveland's waterfront location on Lake Erie. Together, the forms and
grasses transform the lawn to be enjoyed individually or by group celebration.
Gathered in a heard and glowing with excitement, the forms of 'Verdant
Walk' invite visitors to join them. Run as a juried competition by Cleveland
Public Art, this winning proposal will be on display for two years
starting in the spring of 2008.
