Rainy days just got a little more fun thanks to Seattle artist Peregrine Church. His Rainworks project includes a series of water-activated art and hidden messages that only appear when wet.
Although we've seen some really impressive art, like these mind-bending sculptures, Church's art proves what is otherwise ordinary can be made extraordinary.
In the video, Church explains that the beautiful artworks are designed to make people smile on rainy days. The first piece he created was rain drops with the words "Stay dry out there," which is located in West Seattle at a California Street bus stop. Another fun piece is a hopscotch outline.
According to Church, the products he uses to make the art are completely non-toxic, environmentally safe, and biodegradable. Each Rainwork lasts about four months to a year, depending on the amount of foot traffic it has to endure — more abrasion means it will fade faster. A Rainwork is at its most vivid during its first couple of weeks, then slowly becomes more subtle. He further explains that, because the art is temporary and doesn't harm the property, Church's Rainworks are legal in Seattle.
Just watching these works of art come to life in the below video brightened my day. This is such a clever and fun idea! I can't wait to see what Church does next.
