In spring of 2023, a host of mythical creatures began to appear on trails, in parks, and even in a museum! Created by mother and son duo Jill and Riley Logan–the artists behind the
Unicorn Forest Portal
on Sourdough Trail–these mythical creatures appear on trees in unexpected spots around the valley.
Using optical illusions and just a smidge of magic, each creature slowly pops into focus when the viewer stands in just the right spot.
No trees were harmed in the creation of these temporary outdoor installations. The artists use a biodegradable tree paint which will fade away slowly over time, causing no damage to the trees or the environment.
These installations will be visible through May 2024.
