We lived in Seattle for about 5 months, and were pretty broke for most of that.
With this sabbatical though we spent a lot of time in parks, just enjoying the amazing sights no matter what direction we looked. There's something calming about perpetually smelling pine and seeing a mountain looming over any given horizon.
I created this piece as an entry into the Kenmore Beautification project, a local contest for artists to create work that would decorate some industrial drums by a lake. This experience left me with a great souvenir of our time in one of the prettiest places in the world-- a wonderful new piece of art and an opportunity to show my work at Kenmore City Hall.
