Jim Sanders’ brings the vaguemans to all things fungi festival. The Spirit House. Home to the artist for the past 18 years, the Spirit House contains his nature-inspired artwork, all created since he moved to the city in 1998. The house has taken on various identities in that time but, in recent years, Sanders’ work has developed into large-scale immersive environments, often constructed in modular form and illuminated through live performance and sound. Since May 2022, Sanders has opened the house every few months, inviting the public to share in his ritualistic way of seeing art and the world. The openings are often timed to coincide with Pagan Sabbats, festivals which mark the wheel of the year.
