Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland, this piece will encourage participants to explore and use their imagination with childlike wonder. This multi-artist project will bring variations of the beloved classic into a fresh interactive medium, where, after braving to step through the broken mirror of the storybook, participants can have tea at the Hatter’s table, converse among the talking flowers, play flamingo croquet with the queen, and sit in a mushroom forest.

 

List of artists includes:

Morgan Winburn, along with Lytyl, Mary Jane Bricka, Matt Giacomazzo, Margarete Beeson, Jill and Dave Lovell, Jenna Leatherman and the Band of Mini from Kids Camp, as well as support from Tattletale Frum, Jennifer Oxford, Edwin and Amantha Edgarly, Isaac Gordon and more…

A steampunk-inspired traveling house of happiness! This art project is being constructed by members of the community East of Snowflake out of retired, rusty metal mostly salvaged from the local area and built with rural, off-grid ingenuity. An interactive piece on many levels, participants can wander among the forest of flowers, view the Flowerhouse from afar, ascend the staircase to the house, manipulate gears on the platform, enjoy the intimate interior, or even take a ride as it delivers happiness to participants at the event. There will also be a culmination celebration at Saguaro Man, then will return to the community to be installed as a local attraction near the Country Store on Concho Highway to celebrate community and welcome visitors..

 

Artists and builders, Kristin Wesley/YoMama and Nick Rice/Backcountry have teamed together to merge the worlds of urban collaborative art with rural industriousness, creating an inspiring experience for participants of Saguaro Man 2018 and celebrating the community East of Snowflake, where the event takes place

This project is inspired by the ocean and this planet constantly being choked off by plastics being used, abused, and not being recycled. The plastics that we produce are not always recyclable to begin with, ending up in the ocean and broken down into micro-particles that pollute the food chain, thus ending back up in our own bodies. This art sculpture represents the trash we create daily, along with the mythical life we once held before plastics were invented.

 

Artist, Kathleen Donlinger has been involved with larger scale projects, and her own small artwork pieces through participation within the local communities of Las Vegas and Phoenix since 2010
