Hanging an 80-pound jellyfish

With one week to go until the Pacific Seas Aquarium opens, artist Kait Rhoads is installing her “Salish Nettles” – three giant jellyfish made of hundreds of tiny glass hexagons. Blown, assembled and engineered by a community of helpers, the jellyfish sparkle and glimmer in a wire-woven mosaic of orange, red and gold. Individually, they symbolize the beauty of the ocean, pulsing mid-air overhead in the aquarium’s Waves of Change gallery. Collectively, they sing in chorus with the teal walls and massive whale mural of the fragility of that ocean – and how humans must protect it. Learn more at www.pdza.org
