Jellies Canal RenderingIt’s time to head to the Scottsdale Waterfront for the Third Annual Scottsdale Fall for the Arts and to see Scottsdale Public Art’s latest installation “Jellies in the Sky, Cacti in the Water”.

“Jellies in the Sky, Cacti in the Water” is a captivating installation created by Shana Koenig, a Los Angeles based fine artist. She was traditionally trained with a Fine Arts degree and has an extensive background in film and animation. Koenig site-specific installation was commissioned by SPA, creating a large scale temporary installation of glowing, color-changing fiber optic sculptures for the Scottsdale Waterfront. She creates “Solar Sculptures” what she says “are new form of art; made from fiber optics, LEDs, glass and crystals that are based on the sacred geometry that interconnects all life, from flower to bioluminescent deep sea creatures to the cosmos.” Her work has be exhibited internationally and most recently featured at Santa Monica’s GLOW festival. The idea was to “bring the ocean to our skies and desert plant life into the waters of the Arizona Canal between the Soleri and Marshall Way bridges” says SPA. This project is supported in part by.
