John Grade, whose large-scale installation Bloom: The Elephant Bed is on display in the Whatcom Museum Lightcatcher building, will share the inspiration and meaning behind the work and give an overview of present images and video of related projects. Inspired by natural cycles of creation and destruction, Grade’s abstract sculptures reference the formation and erosion of landscape,  decay and disintegration, and the interplay between art and nature.
