Aviarus Smokefarmicus Gigantum, 2014

Aviarus Smokefarmicus Gigantum: An Interactive Play Sculpture, was a site-specific, immersive installation created for the annual Lo-Fi Arts Festival at the Smoke Farm in Arlington, WA. "Venture through the Arlington forest to the remote nesting grounds of this little known prehistoric bird family...and if you are lucky, they may welcome you into their aviary for a flight. Tread carefully at night as their glowing bodies have been known to put even the most intrepid adventurer into a sleepless trance."
