airport art
They've been building on the Sea-Tac airport now it seems like forever. What I hoped for was an old-fashioned (meaning sixties) ideal of kicking back in an airport lounge, drink in hand, watching the planes take off and land through the windows. It's obvious they intend on windows, but they're all boarded up and have been forever.
My good friend has written the soundtrack for a movie documenting the creative art that will go in this space. So I went to the screening, not knowing what it was, and was very surprised to be inspired by the subject matter, a dreamer with grey hair in her 50s who painted the entire spirit world in glass, then watched as the construction guys hoisted it into place. It seemed impossible that it could work, but there it is, and on June 12 we get to see it at a community open house the airport is hosting before the terminal closes for ticketed passengers only on June 15.
