This light-integrated installation was developed for the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District in Washington, DC to temporarily enhance a new green space roadway median being installed in segments. The artwork needed to be easily relocated while enhancing the environment, day and night.
“Gold & Green Field” creates a swath of color within the median abstractly referencing a field of grass. Inserted into the field are large flower like elements (think dandelions) adding more drama to the environment. Collectively the elements in this approach will help bridge the transition from hardscape to landscape and foreshadow the new plantings to come.
This installation is comprised of similar, individual pieces to provide maximum flexibility for re-installations. The field is formed from a mass of individual LED lit translucent acrylic color blades inserted into the planter boxes at varying heights. The large flower is sculpted out of aluminum with LED light nodes at each end point.
