Clark Wiegman, the artist crafting the public artwork for Civic Park, encourages people viewing the artwork to contemplate their place within the web of life of our shared natural world. He is looking for your ideas: “…images and sounds of native animals and plants of the Pacific Northwest that you see, hear, think about and/or love”.
The collected images and sounds will be used to create digitized silhouette portraits that will then be laid out as a collage mural/tapestry. The resulting artwork will be a vinyl graphic that wraps around the hull of lifeboat (see example of detail of the graphic design above, and the proposed project below).
Want to contribute? For gardeners and plant enthusiasts: Names or photos of flowers, ferns, grasses, shrubs, trees, etc. For bird watchers and animal lovers: Names, photos and/or field recordings of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, etc. Your examples could be common and abundant, or scarce and endangered. It’s up to you!
Take this opportunity to help inspire the artist’s design!
