Wood Wave dedication ceremony Saturday at Kruckeberg

Wood Wave by Bruce Johnson

You’re invited to join the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation and the City of Shoreline in the dedication of the newest art installation Wood Wave! Wood Wave is a contemporary piece by California artist Bruce Johnson made from a 1,000-year-old redwood root system. This visually complex and stunning piece is also monumental in size, weighing over four tons and measuring 8x12x10 feet.

Wood Wave is the largest donation of art in the history of Shoreline, both in terms of size and value ($50,000). It made headlines when it was installed in September, attracting media outlets from around the Puget Sound and was highlighted in the Seattle Times the following day.

The Dedication Ceremony will be held on Saturday, November 16, 2013 at 12:15pm to honor the artist, Bruce Johnson, and the donors, Shoreline residents Bruce and JoAnn Amundson.

Following the ceremony, stay at the garden to join the annual volunteer work party to rake leaves and prepare the garden for winter.
