Description
The artwork animates the exposed facade of giant new 14 ft. tall storm water holding tank. Three pairs of downspouts and weep holes send water down the wall to a rain garden below. These wet zones will soon become lush and green as they become colonized with moss and ferns.
In between, faux-bark facades lead to 29 cavity nesting bird houses embedded in the wall. As the landscape matures, the bird houses will become more attractive nest sites.
