For the Cooper Hewitt 2007 National Design Triennial Design Life Now, Alison Duncan fabricated two large scale scrims with a small team while working with Ken Smith Landscape Architect. Re-appropriating landscape materials, such as colored synthetic erosion control mat and artificial flowers, Wallflowers were crafted and attached to a backdrop of orange construction fence panels based on underlying selected grid points. Smith’s work speaks to simulated nature. Suggestive of large-scale garden latticework, the scrims were draped over the façade over the Cooper-Hewitt and also exhibited at The Houston Contemporary Art Museum in 2008.
