Home Grown is a kaleidoscopic spiraling shell crafted from heavy timber and layers of pattern, color, and light. The outer skin plays with shadow patterns, while the inner core is wrapped in a stained glass-like skin. It’s a play between the muscularity of the framing and the delicate dancing radiance of the inner sanctuary.

Like the humble snail, we search for ways to carry our sanctuary with us. The spiraling shell shows how we, too, can transform our barriers into windows of beauty. We’re reminded that even our hardest shells can become translucent, letting in others’ light, while sharing our own glow.

👥 Who You’re Supporting We are a passionate collective of artists, builders, DJs, tech wizards, and dreamers based in the Bay Area, who decided to just do it anyway. Led by:

Lead Artist: Raylene Gorum - Recovering architect turned public artist who combines art + architecture to make cities a little more fantastical. Her largest installation to date covers 5,500 sqf on the surface of a new pier in the Bayview area of SF. She's been voted Most Likely to Serve on the Board of a Community Non-profit with Big Dreams. raylenegorum.com

Lead Builder: Owen Laine - Master timber framer and fine furniture maker. Beauty, style, consistency - what is the point of custom work, if not to look exceptional? If you want something supremely crafted (big or small), Owen is your guy. woodenheart.us

Lighting Artist: Phil Spitler - Creative Technology Artist blending art, light and magic. He has a keen eye for using light and color to create immersive environments, often incorporating cutting-edge technology to create truly transformative installations. philspitler.carbonmade.com

🌈 Event Contributors:

*** FYI!!! We got a $25k grant from Burning Man, but we still need to raise $50k. We're building this as an antidote to fear. These are scary times, but we decided not to retreat into our snail shells, and instead to go big with our skills and our heart. Are you down to support art + togetherness in defiance of fear? Then donating, volunteering, and getting down on the dance floor is going to feel really, really goood.
