Sessilanoid - a 40' Interactive Scupture

Artist James Peterson had me at 40' interactive sculpture. Yeah, I'll get on that bus, no question. Oh, wait. It lights up, too? I'm really on board now. Inspired by barnacles? Love it.

The clincher? 

He wrestled internally with building in plastic - the very material destroying a lot of sea life.  He eventually chose to imagine his sculpture as what might happen if the plastic took on the shape of the very things it was destroying. I love a good circle of life story, so that resonated with me. 

Aren't these amazing?
