Green Space

A recent exhibit at MOMA adds life to a usually uninteresting lobby space in the museum. New York landscape designer / artist Paula Hayes has created shapes specifically for the building's architecture.

The show is aptly titled, “Nocturne of the Limax maximus,” or Night Music of the Great Slug. The exhibit includes a fifteen foot, horizontal, wall-mounted piece named "Slug" and a floor-to-ceiling sculpture called "Egg." Created from blown-glass and silicone, the terrariums are filled with an array of plants, including begonias, creeping miniature figs, and assorted ferns.
