Another mannequin went missing from the shops on Capitol Way in Olympia.
Archibald Sisters (406 Captiol Way, in Olympia, (360) 943-2707) had a super-duper upside down display window, featuring a mannequin, a chair, a lamp, and “Buff” fragrance for men. 
The chair, lamp, and “Buff” poster remain, but notably absent is the figure in the chair.
But don't be concerned: the figure was not stolen, as were several mannequins from an as-yet-unopened neighboring shop-front (see related story here); rather, that figure is art, and part of "Here Today Temporary Public Art Project."
The mannequin's presence now haunts the DASH (the free shuttle bus that runs from the Capitol Campus to the Farmer's Market)
Created by Diane Kurzyna as part of “Ephemeral Folks,” the figure on the bus is made from unwanted plastic wrap, used bubble wrap, and tape, to remind viewers (and inter-actors?) that sometimes the mundane can be sublime.
Other pieces in the "Here Today" project include “Home-Through Our Eyes,” a series of homeless peoples' images and writings attached to life-sized wooden silhouettes, as well as “Coexistence: Kyo Zon” a series of scrolls emerging from garden soil, and “A Continuous Line Thorough Rock Garden” which, to my eyes, appeared to be a kid's prank, but is actually a “living line pattern emerging from the rocks” inspired by continuous line and knot patterns found in world cultures.
Many of the artists will talk about their works at the Olympia Timberland Library, 313 8th Ave SE on Tuesday, August 1, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
