"Photogenesis" artwork

Photogenesis

© Brian Goggin, 1999

Location: Gateway to North SeaTac Park at the corner of S. 128th St. & 20th Ave. S.

Goggin’s sculpture presents an uplifting landmark for the inevitability of change. His three antique Lampposts grow beside the entry, creating a gateway marker into North SeaTac Park. The Lampposts have wintry forged steel branches sprouting from the "trunk": technology disguised as organic growth. "Night-flower" globes glow on top of the Lamppost trees, pulsing at different rates and in multiple colors. The sculpture’s home is on the border of a multicultural suburban neighborhood and an unfolding park development, which was once virgin forest. The village green, formerly blanketed with family housing, is in a state of transition, like the sculpture itself.

Photogenesis was produced in partnership with the King County Public Art Program and the City of SeaTac, with assistance from the SeaTac Parks, Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee. Goggin was selected through a nationally advertised open competition, by a panel comprised of visual artists and community advisors.
