Paula Dunlop’s Attachment is a permanent public artwork for Metro Arts and the West Village precinct, located on the Factory Lane brick wall, just outside of Metro Arts.
Thousands of reflective glass beads — painstakingly arranged one-at-a-time into panels that take their shape from the seep and flow of moisture through the surrounding built environment— are inlayed into the brick to create an inviting, tactile work that will both highlight, and be highlighted by, the returning algal growth over time.
This artwork is located outdoors and can be viewed at any time, day or night.
