Hedge Fence, As An Outdoor Wall, Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|
|
This sort of fence resisted the normal attack of graffiti. Instead, someone wrote a small bit of graffiti on one of the cross members of the fence. The fence, with its backing hedge, occupied the side of the sidewalk and was almost a full block long. A green hedge had been planted tightly against the back of a metal fence. The result, over time, was that the hedge began to grow out through the face of the fence.

The utility box art was located next to the New Zone Art Studio. A pedestrian cross sign was illuminated so that one could cross the street toward the art.

What appeared to be the artist's signature, "Kno Mafia," on the painted side of the utility box, was just graffiti. Art covered the entire face of the utility box at the corner of West 11th Avenue and Olive Street. The art even covered the handle. The art continued on the edge of the box that was attached to the utility pole. Graffiti decorated the other boxes attached to the same pole. The art continued on the vented back of the utility box. A sticker had, at one time, been pasted to the art, but was later mostly torn off.
