Patricia Johanson, Fair Park Lagoon, 1985, Dallas, Texas

Not only did she totally reconstruct this lagoon’s food web, but she placed sculptures in the lagoon, elaborate entangled walkable paths with bridges and arches. Her massive paths reference two native Texas plants: 1) a 225-foot by 112- foot by 12-foot sprawling causeway in the form of a “Pteris Multifada” fern and 2) a 235-foot by 175-foot by 12-foot entangled mass of pathways reminiscent of the “Saggitaria Platyphylla” (known locally as the “Delta Duck-potato”).
