“Edmonds Is” contains the words, images and icons that represent many different facets of the Edmonds, Washington community. Whether inspired by a picture around the town, an icon that is directly tied to the region or a picture of a member of the community, the sculpture represents the city and area in numerous ways.
Residents and visitors can define for themselves what Edmonds really is with a number of items that are directly tied to all of these words, images and symbols. The piece isn’t just a representation of the Edmonds community though, as it’s also a functional planter with space for a variety of small and large plants throughout and in the middle of the piece itself.
The construction of “Edmonds Is” totally transformed the space it was built and is set to be a mainstay of the area for generations. Learn more about “Edmonds Is” on the dedicated site or watch the process to erect it as it transpired over social media.
This is what the space looks like before work on #edmondsis starts. Stay tuned! #edmondswa @EdmondsChamber #art #community pic.twitter.com/i4Vr10ATVI
