ONGOING INSTALLATIONS IN THE GARDEN

If All My Thoughts Were Spoken: I - VI

Honey Bear     
Artist:  fnnch
"Honey Bear" was fnnch's first sculpture, created for Burning Man 2016. The honey bear is a universal symbol of happiness, spreading surprise and delight. These positive emotions then entice the viewer to think differently about the space in which the bear exists.

Upon a TIme  
Artist: Phillipe Jestin

"My work is inspired by the human figure and finding ways to create an object visually ambiguous, offering different lectures between the figurative and the abstract, going back and forth, open to the potential of a fluid perception."

Artist: Todd Young
