Art and Artists details

Oscillara

by Twisty Maurice: Therese Gietler & Misty Post

MAP #1      Installation  

Oscillara shimmers with illusion, a hexagonal lattice of pipes that seem to open into infinity. Step closer and the truth reveals itself—mirrors turn each hollow cell into a doorway of multiplied light, bending depth and perspective. Patterns surge and dissolve in waves of moiré, blooming across the surface like living geometry. What appears solid becomes liquid; what feels distant folds back into the self. The piece watches as much as it is watched, playful and oddly comforting. Born from rescued materials, Oscillara transforms the overlooked into a luminous architecture of wonder and connection.

Light of Tessilation

by Omar Akkari

MAP #2      Installation  

Omar Akkari is an artisan and licensed Landscape Architect with a background in city planning and environmental science. Find more of his work by searching “Phoenician Design Studio”. Each shape was paired with matching symmetry. The 3 and 6 sided patterns are historical, and the 4 and 5 sided patterns were created by the artist. Triangular Pattern: Nasrid Dynasty period (1230 -1492) in Granada, Spain. Found as a wood panel. Hexagonal pattern: Seljuk Sultanate of Rum (1230-35). Found as a stone ornament in the courtyard portal of the Seri Han Mosque near Avanos, Türkiye.

Bloom of Jellies

by Olena Perry & Kim Graham

MAP #5     Installation

Bloom ofJellies is the true meaning of surf and turf. These magical jellies are created with sheep and alpaca fibers which mimic flow in the water. The creative process and insulation have both been a vacation from the normal day grind of life our hope is that you find wonder and magic in the bloom and find ways to incorporate creativity into your everyday life.

Crystal Math

by Foxlight Labs

MAP #6    Interactive Installation

‘Crystal Math’ is an interactive infinity-mirror light art sculpture, featuring three enormous crystals of enormous size, arranged in a cluster and mounted to a base. Inspired by the natural crystal forms in nature, the mirror geometry produces a mesmerizing pattern of light and dark, with lights appearing and disappearing as attendees circle the piece. Beneath the cluster, a lidar scanner will monitor the number and position of onlookers, using this to inform the ever changing color patterns within.

UnityHenge

Radiant Summer Flowers

by Amaranta Ibarra-Sandys

MAP #9   Live Black Light Painting

My artistic practice weaves through multidisciplinary mediums such as: acrylics, clay vessels, watercolors and found objects, portraying daydreaming landscapes, whimsical zoo-morphed creatures, skeletons and day to day working people. My cultural art collection depicts ancient rituals, foods and language, while at the same time blending my experience with elements of the Pacific Northwest: rain, trees and mountains. I support emerging artists and use my platform to raise awareness and advocate for those without a voice. The aim is to encourage individuals of all ages to pursue time, space, and healing through engagement with the arts.

Cell Form Abstracts

by Duane Georges

MAP #10     Installation

Abstract forms are fabricated from upcycled honeycomb packing material. Layers of paint transform brown paper into solid organic shapes for light to play in!

Wish (vol 1)

by Foxlight Labs

MAP #11    Interactive Installation

Wish is an illuminated, interactive sculpture of a dandelion in various states of development, Critically we hope to have the piece return again in the future to the same location (vol 2), having undergone a dramatic transformation from flower to seed. This year, the flower will be in bloom, with yellow light up petals which retract based on the behavior of observers. When it returns, it will have gone to seed, with removable light up seed florets. It is built a 7 ft metal stem which is attached to a large metal baseplate on the ground. Surrounding the stem, easily recognizable sawtooth leaves extend out and reach the ground around the piece. On the flower, the petals’ positions are adjustable via a motor which allows the flower to open and close in hypnotizing radial patterns based on the viewer’s actions. The stem is fitted with an infrared sensor allowing observers to impact the light patterns and mechanical effects via their behavior around the piece.

the Wings of  Flyt

by Jen Tolle

MAP #12    Interactive Installation

Jen Tolle is a Seattle-based light artist and videographer known for her innovative approach to visual storytelling. Her work often blends vivid light installations with dynamic video elements, creating immersive experiences that captivate audiences. As a resident of Seattle, Jen draws inspiration from the city’s vibrant arts scene and natural surroundings, infusing her projects with a unique, Pacific Northwest flair.

Hazama “in-between”

by Shinjiro Tanaka

MAP #13    Interactive Installation

Hazama (“in-between”) is an interactive projection that seeks to create connection in an age of division. By blending analog and digital elements—using audio-reactive software, cameras, and iPads—the work constantly shifts and evolves through audience participation. Live images of passersby are captured and integrated, turning the piece into a dialogue between artwork and community. Known for exploring motifs of points and lines across murals, installations, and performances, Tokyo–New York based artist Shinjiro Tanaka continues this diversity through Hazama, transforming simple forms into shared experiences that invite reflection and connection.

KaleidoBurst

by Scott Keva James

MAP #14    Interactive Installation

This is your chance to be up on the big screen, if you don’t mind your image being run through a crazy color, psychedelic, kaleidoscopic blender.  Move your face, hands and body in front of the camera and watch what you and KaleidoBurst make together.  It’s not an AI, promise!  Come Play!

Salish See

by Shelby Gonzalez x Adam Richter

MAP #17     Installation

“Salish See” offers a dreamlike encounter with sea creatures of the Pacific Northwest. This experiential installation by artist Shelby Gonzalez and musician Adam Richter combines a custom soundtrack with an imposing, intriguing artifact. As viewers approach the installation—a watery portal cradled by a gnarled coral-like frame—they are enveloped in an original soundscape and feel the strangely lifelike gazes of an array of undersea creatures, including an orca, salmon, seal, and giant Pacific octopus. The music enhances a sense of gentle surreality with an auditory undercurrent of instruments, effects, and “wild sounds” sampled at coastal areas in the Salish Sea region.

Gadgets For Kids

by Reg Meisler

MAP #18     Interactive Installation

Gadgets For Kids is a series of interactive musical Folk Art instruments for children to explore. It’s a sound playground containing more than one hundred different percussion and sound-effect items collected from diverse cultures and combined with original sonic and decorative features that resemble something Dr. Seuss or Willy Wonka might create. It’s a curiosity tickling experience that offers children the opportunity to exercise their creativity in a family-friendly, all-inclusive, self-directed, non-competitive, environment. Each of these whimsical creations is lit with color changing LEDs that turns this collection of interactive contraptions into a dazzling light show for after dark fun.

Ecological Interventions: Salmon Recov-IVY

by Fishy TransActions (Oliver Whong and Alex Heindel)

MAP #20     Installation

Our salmon lantern highlights the connection between upland forest health and salmon recovery while pushing back on the personification of invasive species as an ‘intruding enemy’. In Washington, English Ivy is a listed noxious weed that degrades green spaces and decreases forest health, but in its native context it plays important medicinal, symbolic, and practical roles. By using Ivy as a raw material we can increase native forest health through its removal while celebrating its ethnobotanical uses and history.
