Over the next couple months we’ll be soliciting input on imagery and sounds for this project.  

What we’re looking for are ideas, images and sounds of native plants and animals of the Pacific Northwest that you see, hear, think about and/or love. 

For avid gardeners and plant enthusiasts, it might be a short list or photos of flowers, ferns, grasses, shrubs, ground covers, trees, etc. For bird watchers and animal lovers, these might entail lists, photos and/or field recordings of western migratory birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects, etc.  These could be common and abundant or scarce and endangered, it’s up to you…

Once we’ve collected the images and sounds, we’ll 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.
