Gallery Introduction:
We are very excited to be offering a show of creature and figurative sculpture, digital and hand media concept art, and a graphic novel release for Seattle’s Jim Henson - Elijah Strongheart Evenson. Evenson’s creature puppets are already good friends, after years of seeing them in the studio and hearing about their exploits. Join us for storytelling events on Saturdays in June.
Synopsis:
Centered in the Orion nebula where long ago crystal gods maintained order in the universe, creatures of all types sail on seas of energy in search of Crystals that they need to survive...
The Crystal Nebula is an epic mythos created by visionary sculptor Elijah Strongheart Evenson. Pulling from deep meditation and astral projection, Evenson has illustrated a story that confronts life’s most mystifying questions. What is consciousness and why do we exist?
