I am SO thrilled to be getting out of the city and taking Solstenen project up to the Lo-Fi Arts Festival-”Not to Scale”, at Smoke Farm, Arlington Washington!
Smoke Farm is a truly transformative place, itself a metamorphosis from wilderness to farmland and now back to salmon habitat and a space to creatively engage with the land. I have had the privilege of getting to do a few residencies at Smoke Farm, and the site has changed me; the massive slugs that crawl out at dusk were the beginning of my Slug Princess for The Silvering Path film I co-created in 2008 (shot on location at Smoke Farm), and my photographs from my recent show “Honey and Lightening” were all shot at various places at this incredible site. Please come experience it for yourself, August 13th, Saturday, All-day, Join Solstenen off-site for Community Crochet!
You still have time to get tickets before you come, camp or just stay for the day.
ADVANCE TICKETS: Gates open at 12 noon on Saturday August 13. Tickets are available online at Brown Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpaperticks.com/event/171964

The Smoke Farm Venue: As the Farm is invested in conservation and habitat restoration as part of its mission, a lo-tech or no-tech; pack it in, pack it out ethos is central to our approach to the land.
