Jim Woodring Harvest

Venue: Bumbershoot | Northwest Rooms

Curated by Larry Reid in conjunction with Fantagraphics Books, this exhibit features original artwork. -Fantagraphics

"The Firefly Wind Light System revolves around a proprietary switch for sensing the wind. Picture an electrified wind chime; as the wind blows the metal chime into contact with the metal gong, it closes a circuit. Firefly's LED/switch pairs do the same thing, except on a much smaller scale. When the wind blows on their pendulum switch, they light up." -Jason Krugman
