Lawn Ornaments In My Back Yard (LOIMBY) is a public art installation including original lawn ornaments by 48 participating artists and collectives. Staying true to Maiden LA’s mission of inclusivity, LOIMBY is the result of an open call inviting any and all Los Angeles artists to submit a lawn ornament of their own creation. LOIMBY is a play on the idea of NIMBY versus YIMBY (anagrams for Yes/No In My Backyard) which refers to residential controversy around land use, development, housing and homelessness. The whimsical smorgasbord of sculptures provided by LOIMBY allows the viewer to consider the use and value of public, private and virtual spaces.
