Reception

[edit | edit source]

Christina Ausley of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer described the sculpture as "public pop art that looks good enough to eat, but sadly is not".[2] The newspaper also included the artwork in a 2021 list of "24 of Seattle's quirkiest landmarks".[8] Bradley Foster included the sculpture in Thrillist's 2014 list of "10 secret Seattle things you didn't know existed".[9] Sean Keeley and Sarah Anne Lloyd included the work in Curbed Seattle's 2019 list of "30 notable public art spots in Seattle".[10]
