The intensity of color is also affected by how many scrims are seen by the viewer from their position - a greater number of scrims increase the intensity of color. From afar, each scrim is a bright wash of color, but as the viewer walks toward and eventually beneath each scrim, the color slowly vanishes from sight. With this work of art, Schwendinger builds upon Color Field painting and color theory explorations, and expands on the concept with the aid of new materials and technology. When originally installed, the designer programmed five light sequences that cycled through, slowly changing color to reflect various moods. Kreielsheimer Promenade by Marion Oliver McCaw Hall | Dreaming in Color consists of programmed lighting projected onto and through nine large-scale metal mesh scrims that frame the promenade between Phelps Center and McCaw Hall.

At a distance, the images merge into decorative curves, shapes and abstract patterns while up close, human, animal and plant-like characters emerge in a cartoon-like silhouette: dinosaurs, fish, deer, dogs, cats, and whales flowers, trees, and leaves stars, hillsides, clouds, and oceans figures with hats, bow-ties all playfully coexist. Outside the building, mauve, cut-steel roof scuppers and canopy support brackets shaped as strange creatures-nicknamed “Garthgoyles”, greet approaching guests, as does a massive, colorful, glazed ceramic mural created by Edwards and local ceramic artist Ray Serrano surrounding the theater’s main entrance.

Inside the building, bright red, cut-steel “story-board” railings run the entire length of the second floor balcony, backlit cut-steel door frames illuminate the auditorium entryways, and a series of cut-steel ventilation grills compliment the concession stand. Seattle Children's Theatre | Painted steel cutouts adorn the exterior of Seattle Children's Theatre, along with ceramic murals on the walls and a series of unique boulder-like faces. Commissioned and funded by Oak View Group and the Seattle Kraken. The artists also created “Northlight” at CPA, and authored “New Arena at Seattle Center Public Art Plan” - acting as art consultants to the Arena redevelopment project. This art space will be a place to convene with friends before or after an Arena event, or enjoy alone on a sunny afternoon. Individual components loosely express colors and emotions as described in Seattle musician Jimi Hendrix’s seminal song, “Bold as Love.” Axis Lounge’s light colors will vary from night-to-night and moment-to-moment, depending on both Arena happenings and civic events. The elements of the multi-media installation juxtapose vibrant and varied colors, textures and forms to depict a metaphoric overlay of sports and music. Axis Lounge will have an inviting and energetic atmosphere that encourages people to come together, converse, and relax.

Offering immersive visual, aural, interactive and collective experiences, this place-based artwork, with its sculptural and tactile forms, will create an iconic backdrop for plaza gatherings and performances.

Northwest corner of Climate Pledge Arena Plaza | Located in the northwest corner of the Climate Pledge Arena plaza and visible from 1st Avenue N., Axis Lounge is conceived as a microcosm of the Arena environment.
