Known for her fantastical creatures with intensely emotional eyes, Houston’s will create a new work for the project that departs from what she’s done previously. The mural will be “closer to elements and ideas that I often keep reserved in my head. So I believe it will be a very honest and almost intimate representation of my feelings and imagination,” she tells Colossal.
Leaning into Meow Wolf’s mission to create “portals of possibility,” () will install “The Adela Oceanic Trench,” a frenetic, kaleidoscopic work of LED lights, cables, and recycled plastics that envelop the space with luminous color.

Artists and , whose works are familiar sights in the Texan city, will also contribute to the new exhibition. The name, theme, and opening date of the 5th Ward location haven’t been announced yet, but you can follow updates on .
