The artwork is made of sisal rope and blown glass tubes that have publicly generated words of appreciation for kelp engraved onto them. Supported by the Office of Arts and Culture and the Seattle Aquarium.
The work will be on view Sept 1st 2025 thru April 2026. The installation is located on the east side of 9th Ave between Olive Way and Pine St.
