@groundhum was absolutely splendid. big big thank yous to all the organizers, artists, and volunteers. this event is one of the reasons that makes seattle a truly special place!
Ground Hum would not be what it is without the transformations made by our installation artists! This year we have four artists contributing visual works:
1. María Dolores A. Matienzo is a composer, poet, intermedia artist, and archivist living on unceded Coast Salish lands in so-called Seattle, Washington. Her works explore ritual, sensory experience, immaterial labor, and memory and memorialization.
2. Chelsea is a Seattle-based mixed media artist who explores themes of identity, self-exploration, connection, emotion, and the idea of home. This series is born from the anxiety of existence, the weight of grief, the chaos of coping, and the quiet bliss of regrowth again and again.
3. Jax Braun (they/them) is a weaver of light, fiber, craft, and construction, drawing together the ecstatic and still to create reflective and collective spaces.
4. Simone is a Ground Hum organizer and maker who walked past a scrap pile and saw a sculpture. Her installation was born from a chance encounter with a mangled piece of chicken wire. By applying fiber techniques to industrial salvage, she transforms rigid wire into organic, hand-knit forms that aid in way finding and ambiance for this years’ Ground Hum Festival.
Make sure to take time to explore these contributions. There will be maps and wayfinding to help you get the full experience.
