Based on a project, Katherine Daniels, did on Randall's Island two years ago, I had an idea that the new chain link fence enclosing the playground on Randall's Island, could be improved by adding a design using fence weave, a construction material.
Lola Odessey Waters and Sheila Odessey working on the fence. |
As a family, we baked cakes, painted still lifes and traveled extensively in the United States, but we never "built" anything together. My father was Mr. Fix-It. He saw no need for assistance. On Saturday, my sister, Sheila, my niece Lola, and volunteers from Google wove a fence design conceived by Sheila for Randall's Island Park playground.
It was a transformative moment. A pedestrian fence became an playful artifice. The colors of the weave are a counterpoint to the colors of the play equipment. I am imagining all the chain link fences on Randall's Island woven with plastic strips. It's a worthy ambition.

Phyllis, I am so enjoying your posts!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a creative, colorful solution! Kudos.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't stop at Randall's Island -- you must get the commission for every, ugly chain link fence in NY and then the world!
What is the colorful ribbons made from? Did your duster make them?
Fun look. How do the children like it? !
Can you tell me what the material is and where you purchase? I'm doing this with my students at a local park but want a strong material like this...
