SPACEWORKS TACOMA 2

We discovered Tollefson Plaza to be littered with letters. They lay about in piles. They formed words. The most intriguing pieces were "typographic" art. The letters and words and images were in flux as citizens entered the Plaza, manipulated the letters, took pictures of themselves next to their works, and then departed.



The official word on Letters by James Sinding is: "Inspiration for this open-air installation at Tollefson Plaza comes from the "letter" magnets people place on their refrigerators—magnified to the 10th power. A pile of 5 sq. yards of 12-in. painted, wooden letters extends an open invitation to passersby to write a poem, to read the thoughts of others, or to add their own."


Beauty.
