New sculpture work to appear north of Parrington
July 15, 2003
Cris Bruch, a well known Seattle-area artist, has been commissioned to create a major sculpture that will appear at the north end of the Parrington lawn.
The work, which will be around 20 feet long, nine feet tall and nine feet wide, and made of dulled stainless steel, is expected to be completed this winter and installed in early spring.
"We wanted something that pushed the boundaries and didn't repeat existing form and techniques," said Kurt Kiefer, campus art administrator. "We've given the artist the freedom to work creatively and reactively. We hope that Bruch will put all his spirit and energy into the fine details that can only be resolved during the process of fabrication."
The project, which has a price tag of $200,000, was funded by the "half-percent-for-art" fund, which comes from new construction on campus.
