Pat Tassoni is locally famous for lamps patterned after the Space Needle and made from recycled materials. On display at Peacock Village will be various Space Needle replicas ranging from one-foot to 12-feet-tall. The 12-foot Space Needle will be exhibited only on Friday evening.
Other works by Tassoni can be seen at AntiMatter Gallery, a spinoff of Matter Gallery, which will sublet from the new Gallery Boom location in downtown Olympia.
Tassoni has a degree in postmodern theory, which, he says, “means nothing and makes him uniquely qualified for just about anything.”
