Description: JUMs consist of three sculptures that combine three elements (jellyfish/umbrellas/mushrooms) that relate to the Northwest environment. Each ten-foot high sculpture consists of a stainless steel "stem" and upper "cap" that has been cast in fiberglass and and marked with several semi-transparent colored dots. The caps are designed to make one feel childlike in scale and perspective in comparison to the sculpture. Each sculpture is differently colored to represent individuality amongst the unity of forms. The sculptures reflect upon themes of community and diversity, but with an "Alice in Wonderland", fantastical kind of way. The sculptures are located at the south entrance of the community center.
