Patrick Renner’s Site-Specific Installation, “Funnel Tunnel”

Houston-based artist Patrick Renner was recently commissioned by the non-profit Art League Houston to create an enormous, site-specific installation across from the organization's headquarters on Montrose Boulevard. Spanning 180 feet in length, the colorful, serpentine structure titled "Funnel Tunnel" responds to the orientation of the trees and lighting conditions in the small park where it was built. The work is composed of reclaimed wood woven through a steel skeleton. Take a look at some photos of the installation after the jump.
