The temporary, collectively-woven hammock sculpture will stand in the park for a month following its public opening on Sunday afternoon. The piece was commissioned through the Madison Arts Commission’s BLINK program and will offer visitors to the opening the opportunity to weave reclaimed, naturally dyed strips of fabric into the upright hammock wall.
