Sena Clara Creston, clinical assistant professor in digital technology and culture and fine arts at WSU Tri-Cities, has received a grant from the state nonprofit Artist Trust to construct an “art machine” entitled “The Umbrella Ship.”
“The sculpture will provide the audience with the constructed reality and physical sensation of a childlike dreamscape,” Creston said.
The interactive installation will be a three-wheeled art machine propelled by wind hitting a large umbrella. The vehicle will transition from a bed to ship to bicycle and will be constructed from repurposed materials.
