Hedgerow - Chicago, IL - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

True to the name, this sculpture does resemble a hedge, only made of exhaust pipes and reflectors. The tangled car parts manage to appear organic despite their origins. This sculpture was made in 2006 and was originally a part of the "Artists and Automobiles" exhibit. It is one of several from that exhibit that remain on display in Grant Park.
