The model was created for the exhibition 'Urban Paradise', organized by The Public Art Fund of New York. Artists were given a choice of empty, city owned lots in all five boroughs and asked to transform them. The Fox Street lot, which already had a small community garden on it, was eventually claimed by the local police precinct and turned into a parking lot for their cars. My idea had been to design a community garden of all edible- or crop yielding plants, but to do it in an aesthetically pleasing way. The landscaping was to have served as a framework to encourage that kind of planting. | ||||||||||
