The Mater Matrix Mother website has been documenting artist Mandy Greer‘s creation of a crocheted art installation – she’s been visiting West Seattle libraries, too, and will be at the Sustainable West Seattle Festival this Sunday, as well as at Delridge Day coming up May 30th. Now there’s word her work her installation has found a future home, Camp Long’s Polliwog Pond – read the update just sent by Camp Long’s Sheila Brown:

Join fellow Seattleites to crochet, knot and twist recycled fabrics into artwork.
Greer will host an ongoing series of participatory art events throughout Seattle in
May and June. For the full calendar of events, visit the Mater Matrix Mother blog.

See the artwork at Camp Long in West Seattle June 15-July 31, 2009. Camp Long is open Tuesday-Sunday 10 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
