ONN/OF ~ a festival of light
January 28th & 29th, 2012
Curator Sierra Stinson, critic Jim Demetre, and artist Susan Robb have turned an 11,000 sq. ft warehouse into a radiating experience with art installations, pop-up shops, music, workshops, and performances that all relate in some way or another to the theme of ‘light.’
I have been asked to add to this bright weekend via the creatively cool indoor plant store I work at, The Palm Room. Therefore, I have created a living sculpture, Bonsai In The Aviary, which uses the photosynthetic necessity of plants as a connection to the theme.
Bonsai In The Aviary is a suspended chunk of nature that exhibits Kokedama (“moss ball”) bonsai and has a playful allusion to the relationships between nature and humans, nature and birds, and humans and birds.
The Palm Room will be leading a Kokedama workshop!
Saturday Jan 28th from 4pm – 7pm
Sunday Jan 29th from noon – 4pm
It takes about 30 – 45 minutes to kokedama a plant. The workshop is $25 and includes all materials (moss, soil, twine, plant, etc) and instruction. Stop by our table anytime during the hours above and we will show you how to make one.
LOCATION: The Sweater Factory
1415 NW 52st, Ballard, Seattle.
