GRASS SKIRT EXTRA LARGE
9’ x 8’ diameter
2005
Laumeier Sculpture Park and Museum, St. Louis, MO. A skirt of double layered nylon fabric sewn with horizontal pockets to support the growth of grass seeds. The seeds are watered by a hydroponic drip irrigation system from the top, which flows down to a stainless steel reservoir below around the perimeter of the skirt. The water is recycled and pumped back up via a metal support inner-structure that holds warm white fluorescent lights.
