New yarn and pushpin installation for LxWxH
LxWxH is a Seattle-based subscription art delivery project, each issue containing small works by two local artists and a written essay by a third, all packaged in box labeled with a hand-printed variation of the logo, which I designed two years ago. I created this new piece as a permanent installation for the project’s new tangible gallery space in Georgetown, Seattle, which opens Saturday December 8th.
