Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

2007 • Seattle, Washington

Located next to the historic Paramount Theater on Pine Street in downtown Seattle, Eat, Drink and Be Merry are 3 totem poles for the 21'st Century, collaged from images of contemporary culture, food and drink.

Ranging in height from 16 to 18 feet, and 8 feet in diameter,these glittering stainless steel figures are anthropomorpic but not human. They are made from different textures of forged and fabricated stainless steel. The site is a small urban park whose reason for existence is the Vent Shaft for the Sound Transit tunnel under Capitol Hill.

After spending a few years at the Pine Street location, these sculptures are currently on South Forest St. and Airport Way, in South Seattle.
