Liminal Currents Wrap Up

Part of the Liminal Currents exhibit at IMA – Tim Dustrude photo

Ah, last night’s sunset roared red into the last hours of the LIMINAL CURRENTS exhibition. One young lady danced and let the ribbons and wishes flow over her hair. It might sound odd, but somehow, it wasn’t- she was about 13 and she looked so happy.

This morning after the photo shoot, Karen Woldtvedt filmed the exhibit as the very last wishes went up. Then-they were all cut down and saved. The bowls and pens and pedestals were all moved out.

Matthew’s plan is to save the branches and after the fire season is over, build a raft with them. Then the wishes will go onto the raft and set aflame…and pushed out to sea. The date and time of this event is entirely up to nature and Matthew. I will let everyone know, so they can attend—probably in October.

NEXT. Tomorrow morning. Wednesday, we will meet at IMA at about 9:15 a.m. to take down the lower limbs. If you can load them into your car or truck, we will. They will go to the distant back lot until the “raft-building/burning.” If you are coming, dress for the weather and bring gloves. I would recommend being covered to prevent scratches. Please join us if you can.

On Thursday morning, Matthew and Dan will be taking the upper structure down working from the scissor lift. They will need people to take the boughs from them and out to the back lot, again. Trucks and wardrobe will be the same as above.

OTHER NEWS. Over 2000 papers were cut and available. All but about 200 were taken. I would estimate that we took down at least 1500 wishes!
Since the exhibit opened over 4300 people have visited, rested, admired, wondered, practiced yoga or danced in LIMINAL CURRENTS.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making this a success for Matthew, IMA and the Town of Friday Harbor.
