On my way to work in South Boston, I always pass a set of steps in Chinatown. Recently I passed these steps and they were covered in sod! This makes me go, "Hmmmm?"
When I went to the Fort Point Open Studios a few weeks ago I learned that in 2001, Boston artists Lisa Greenfield and Jennifer Moses blanketed the length of the Summer Street bridge with grass, creating a massive stretch of natural carpet. They called it Phase One of "Redefining Open Spaces," a public art project. I'm wondering if these steps are by the same artists, or if someone else has another idea in mind. Is this public art? Or did someone just have some extra sod? It's definitely not as impressive as the original project, but it still caught my attention.
i took a picture of those steps today!
