Her Secret is Patience is an art sculpture made by Janet Echelman. Her inspiration is fisherman's nets. It is an exquisite piece of art, as are plenty of her pieces. This piece does playful things with the wind and is really thought-provoking. Make no mistake, it is in a rough area, as you can expect with any public area in the center of downtown of a large city. Sympathies to other reviewers that they had bad episodes with individuals in the plaza but that doesn't take away from the beauty of the art here and we should all keep that in perspective.

Here hangs a seven figure ourdoor modern art sculpture over a venue for three dozen addicts, alcoholics, and violent vagrants to shade themselves. I shielded my octogenarian parents from an assault. We were the only tourists in the plaza. The police response was swift and multi- jurisdictional, arriving on the scene within two minutes of my call to highlight our Mother's Day afternoon outing. If you go, arm yourself and glove up. Caution: Avoid stepping on needles or slipping in the puddles of beer. Be prepared to ward off aggressive panhandlers.
