Wood, wire fence

"The 'single twist diamond mesh fencing' as named in construction material store catalogs, is omnipresent in urban environments. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to enclose a space without constructing walls. However, it requires posts to be anchored in the ground between which the fencing is stretched because it is flexible and its mesh is 'loose', not twisted together. This last detail is a characteristic of 'single twist diamond mesh fencing' that allows me to consider another way to stiffen it. Instead of using an external frame fixed in the ground, each mesh is held apart by inserting a wooden batten adjusted to its size. Each mesh is 'tensioned from the inside' in a way. This repeated tension along the entire length of the fencing stiffens the entire structure and makes it stand upright. As a result, the fencing is not fixed to the ground and cannot function to demarcate a terrain. Since the battens only occupy the bottom of the fencing, I can undo the top meshes, allowing the green-coated wire to bend like plant stems. Intertwined, they take on the appearance of wild grasses. The fencing becomes a bushy fence.
