dreamy A wall is constructed brick-and-mortar style, but instead of clay or stone, the bricks are made from shrubbery. It is both a wall and a topiary, bringing together architecture and the garden. As typical of hedgerows, it serves to define space, but traditional wall language (the brick) is added to the greenery of the garden. The bricks are oversized, giving the wall a cartoonish quality. It is not fine and elegant, but rather somewhat rough, like the concept sketches to which it corresponds. The wall is built from both natural shrubbery and synthetic hedge, creating a variegated coloration reminiscent of inconsistencies in stone and brick. The synthetic hedge units serve as planters for the roots of the live hedge. A long, natural hedge stretches out on both sides of the blocky wall. Typically, a low hedge serves to mark boundaries more than to define spaces. It is symbolic and decorative. Here it is as if the low hedge is dreaming of what it could otherwise be. The piece is a fantasy of existence as a true wall, a kind of thought-bubble grown into real matter. "dreamy" is about symbolism and possibility, surface and substance, form and function. It is the hedge, long a stand-in for a wall, momentarily becoming that very wall. Designed for the Toronto Sculpture Garden, "dreamy" has been exhibited in model form only. A full scale section of the project was built for the consideration of the Garden committee, but the project was declined for fabrication. materials: Live and synthetic hedge, wood, foam insulation. Approximately 4'6" x 15' x 1'6" as drawn.
