"The orange blossoms will dangle and sway overhead, enveloping the viewer into a new spatial experience," Kagan says. "Created from more than 100 polyvinyl street cones, thousands of yards of natural and synthetic fibers, and more than 10,000 coffee filters, the garden will be as amazing and beautiful as it is unique."  The opening reception will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16. The gallery will be closed Nov. 22-24 for the Thanksgiving holiday.2) (R to L) Volunteers Kathleen Zadikian, Nat George and artist Lana Shuttleworth place the blossoms. 3) Artists Sharon Kagan, (right) and Leslie Yagar work on their  installation.
