Reuniting the Duwamish River to its past through art & sound

In the early 1900s, Seattle's Duwamish River was rechanneled, wiping out its natural curves and wetlands in favor of straight lines more friendly to industrial uses. Eirik Johnson's installation "Leviathan Rising" honors the river's past and its connection to the Georgetown Steam Plant. He fills the space with abstract images and haunting sounds pulled from the river itself.
