donald fels: “water plant” unveiled

Jul 29th, 2010 by Sara Edwards

King County’s clean-water utility is hosting an open house at South Plant in Renton (1200 Monster Road SW) on Saturday, August 7th from 10am-1pm.

This free, family-friendly environmental event will feature treatment facility tours, tours of nearby Waterworks Gardens, and opportunities to visit a demonstration garden nourished with composted biosolids.

Visitors are also invited to view Water Plant, a new public artwork by Fall City artist Donald Fels created through an active collaboration with employees of the Plant, 4Culture, and metal fabricator Benson Vess. The kinetic sculpture is animated by water, balance and gravity. A recycled stainless steel impellor at its core, it brings playful attention to the way water “works” using the same straight-forward, universal mechanics employed to clean water at the treatment plant. Fels will talk about the piece and his creative process at 11:15am.
