Redmond’s Anderson Park is the temporary home of fiber artist Suzanne Tidwell’s Artificial Light installation. We went there over spring break to take a closer look at the warm colors and truly warm texture of the yarn wraps she designed for the trees. This is a lovely park in downtown Redmond with log cabins, picnic areas, open lawn and a playground. I adore this little park and think this art is fun and bright. The kids reacted positively to the trees as well: they each found their favorite tree and were excited to experience “hands on” art within a park. We talked about how the colors made us feel as well as what they thought about wrapping trees with yarn. The trees definitely brought smiles to all our faces. We also discussed how much work went into such a project–quite inspiring!
Not too long ago when the days were much grayer and cold and wet, it gave us a little mental boost to drive past the cheerful colors. Even on a sunny day this grove of trees appears brighter and more lit up. On a gray day, it’s truly eye-catching. Enjoy the photos and check here if you’d like to learn more about the artist!

We were a bit rushed last week when I was snapping this set, and Al was not exactly cooperative for the camera. However, did manage a couple goofy but natural shots with the help of his Pokémon.
