The wire woven hedge has become a strange creature. After turning the first weaving results on its head, I decided to make a more or less indeterminate form. The wire pattern below, produced with mathematical precision in Illustrator but with galvanized wire on the porch, flexes and distorts and to some degree conforms to a space or site.
The wire ties allow me to produce units which can be added one at a time to the weave. This is a photo of 84 units which subsequently became the Elaeagnus Umbellata (Autumn Olive) textile.
