If the currently proposed, mildly obscene, weird bit of marine mini-life does indeed become our next piece of public art, I think the chamber of commerce should create a special Port Townsend public art brochure that will introduce all the tourists to our collection of installations so they can get a taste of the art culture of the town. Maybe then they would decide not to move here after all and that would at least give the art some relevant public purpose.
And yes, I do understand the importance of plankton. I also understand the importance of art.
