Fiber sculpture to grace Rose Kennedy Greenway

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a giant aerial sculpture. Workers will install a 600-foot colorful floating work by artist Janet Echelman high above the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston’s Financial District Sunday.

The shimmering fiber sculpture weighing 1 ton is designed to respond fluidly to the wind and weather. It will remain suspended between high-rise buildings through October.

Organizers say it will take four dozen workers and a battery of cranes and scissor lifts to install the billowy piece.

Echelman is based in suburban Brookline. Her sculpture is inspired by ancient fishing nets.
