Alex takes you on a brief movie tour of CoSM Art Sanctuary, starting with the frogs.
Nature abounds year round at CoSM.
Profoundly wet summer has brought a wide variety of mushrooms everywhere.
Mycologists please weigh in.
Common Thelophora?
A white hen-of-the-woods?
Stage One Fometopsis pinacola?
Young Fometopsis pinacola?
Elderly Fometopsis pinacola with slug?
Morel. We ate it.
Artist's Polypore?
Stacka Hydnum (Climacodon septentrionolis)?
Contractors, staff and volunteers are working together to make CoSM Art Sanctuary ready for guests, friends and family. Here, (l to r), master builders, Joey "Stiles" McNamara, Brian James and Lenny Hart are creating the sweet Mushroom Cafe, soon to open in the guest house.
Sharon Fulcher, staff sculptor, examines the ceiling piece she has been working on, a relief of the painting "Vision Crystal," an artwork in the CoSM permanent collection. This architectural detail will grace light fixtures in the guest house.
Randy Nason, on stilts, "muds" the ceiling of the Dining Hall, soon to be ready along with the new store.
The painting studio is happening, financed solely by Alex and Allyson Grey.
Goal: move in ready by Alex's birthday, 11/29.
High ceilings in the painting studio. Big paintings planned?
Great light for painting.
Allyson just finished this painting in which the spectra of the "secret writing" and the spectra of the surroundings are reversed complimentary colors. Yellow occurs next to Purple. Orange next to Blue, etc. We both look forward to beginning major works in the new studio when it is completed at CoSM Art Sanctuary.
