Civic Space Park and Janet Echelman's 'Her Secret Is Patience'

Civic Space Park in downtown Phoenix features the large suspended public artwork 'Her Secret Is Patience' by Janet Echelman, a net-like fiber sculpture installed above the park. The installation is a prominent example of large-scale public art in Phoenix and has required repair and replacement after weather-related damage, making its maintenance part of the work's public history. The park and sculpture are often cited together as a distinctive downtown landmark.
