Gigantic, GRiZ, TOKiMONSTA and
dozens more — are the mind-bending
art installations that will grace the
gorgeous Wolf Run Ranch site in
Dufur, Oregon, along the Columbia

portals” leading to The Illuminated
Forest, the geometric wood sculptures
of Oregon artist Aleph Geddis and
the glowing laser-cut polyhedrons
created by the Hyperspace Bypass
Construction Zone.
