''Her Secret Is Patience'' is a $2.5 million〔http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/04/14/20090414cns-downtown0414.html〕 public art sculpture commission designed by artist Janet Echelman for the city of Phoenix. Its creation was the result of collaboration between the artist and a team of award-winning engineers, architects, planners, and fabricators. It is located downtown in the Civic Space Park across from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. The sculpture consists of painted, galvanized steel; polyester twine netting; and colored lights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scaling Public Space: Janet Echelman )〕 The title of the piece is a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson and during construction it was unofficially titled ''Sky Bloom.''〔(''Her Secret Is Patience'' Fact Sheet ) Janet Echelman's website〕〔http://www.azcentral.com/community/phoenix/articles/2009/02/13/20090213phx-whatabout0213.html〕 ==Design==
The netting is 38 ft off the ground and 100 ft. tall and the three support poles are 102 ft, 125 ft. and 145 ft. tall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Her Secret Is Patience )〕 The netting is designed to show the movements of the wind. Its shape reflects Arizona's enormous cumulus clouds, and the colors were inspired by the blossoms of the cereus cactus which are found in the region.〔 The initial design process began with the creation of a three-dimensional computer model created using custom software. Those forms were then translated into CAD software in order to define the geometry and surfaces of the sculpture. These digital structures were then exported to a gravity and wind simulator in order to determine the necessary twine tenacity to withstand the desert winds. From this information, construction drawings were created which include specific looming patterns, color information, and lengths of meshes.
