The intervention, explores dredging as
an opportunity to abstract references to the site's glaciated history
while separating silt from storm water runoff. It also looks at excavation
and the use of words as artworks that reference social history on the
site.
The Fens is meant as a pilot project,
a model for incorporation into other parks in the city. This intervention
adds to the Fens' infrastructure roles and updates its historical role
as an ecological infrastructure that protects and enhances natural systems
while making the cultural and poetic meanings of the landscape--and infrastructure--more
robust.
