May 30th, 2023Shroomdrop 2023 Since I made mushroom themed art this year I thought I would participate. Since 2019, people around the world have been hiding mushroom themed art in public spaces on June 10th. This year, I will do the same hiding mushroom emas near my mushroom lanterns.
Mushroom Lanterns
May 30th, 2023For Earth Day we celebrated the installation of four new mushroom lanterns at The Fremont Troll Knoll. The lanterns were made in collaboration with Haiying Wu and myself. Leo Griffin was a key figure in getting this done, helping in all logistics and securing $10,000 in funds from The City of Seattle. Daniel Tadesse helped our team install the heavy mushrooms into the park. The mushroom lanterns were commissioned to to be companion pieces to the mushroom walk that was recently installed by Salish Sea Mushroom.

During Art+Flight the Museum will boldly depart from its traditional flight path to host a Museum-wide, community-focused celebration connecting the region’s vibrant art scene with its rich aerospace history.
