Client: Renton Municipal Arts Commission

Overview

A vividly colorful, geometric pattern created with yarn woven directly into an existing chain link fence. The shapes were inspired by traditional and modern quilt motifs. The location is at a much used public park along a popular trail and a busy road. It decorates an otherwise plain parking lot.
Acrylic yarn on chain link fence. 6′ x 140′.

Goals

The goal of this project was to provide joyful color and pattern to people where they already are. There is not a lot of public art in this area and the presence of art helps create a sense of belonging to community and place.

Process

Installed by hand, on-site by weaving yarn into existing chain link fence.
