Water is a hand-crocheted lace ribbon that meanders over and around a section of the Blue River, expressing the quiet forces of creation as an underlying power of the place. More than 100 crochet volunteers throughout the United States participated in making the artwork, working together through meet-ups in person and online, closely following the design and patterns created by Choi+Shine. During the full day sun, the lightweight lace ribbons cast intricate, patterned shadows, creating both a pleasant visual experience and an unexpected re-discovery of our familiar spaces through the windows of the overlapping lace patterns. In the morning or late afternoon sun, the ribbons appear as glowing, translucent objects, contributing to the poetry of the space.
