I consider my work to be both regional and universal. A fusion of cartoony, pop art sculptures are

incorporated with realistic images.

• • •My sculptures often interpret a bird or a group of birds in two ways; as a specific biological subject and as a metaphor.

The support form orsculptural “environment” for a bird is important because it creates a dialogue with the subject and helps bring my

metaphors to light.

brother Don helped me to learn welding. Now, with several pieces out both private and public I can’t be stopped.”

height of my creative powers. The language of modernism is embedded in my work like a code.

11 Catch ofthe Day

Dan Klennert• • •

On the surface, Dan Klennert’s found-object sculptures are

remarkable for their scale and their realism. Looking deeper,

his patchwork skeletons become a lasting testament to the

craftsmanship of artisans who made the original objects Klennert

incorporates into his art.

14 HeartConnection

Alisa looney• • •

Heart Connection portrays the energy between two people, deeply connecting with each

other. The spiraling shapes come together to form the shape of a heart, indicating two spirits dancing, merging, yet each

person remaining separate as an individual. Crimson red denotes

the deepest love.

2010

15 number 5Bill Wentworth

• • •Generally, as with this piece, my work reflects the relationship of

modern industrial technology and nature, but takes it a step beyond. The abstraction of Sprout suggests what might happen if nature took back control of some of what is

done by man. What would it look like if bronze and stainless steel

grew out of the ground like a plant?

To create an artistic expression from the

artistic expression, is the highest of honors. I have the opportunity to do this

each day.

16 SiblingsOlinka Broadfoot

• • •Although on some level, I

understand the need for the viewer to have something in writing, it annoys me to have

to explain it, as if the work itself wasn’t quite enough or did not

stand on its own.

• • •This winged woman with her angelic presence is floating upwards, rising to meet the

potential that lies within. While her open heart exposes her

vulnerability and the chink on her lower body hints at imperfection,

these marks of humanness provide a roadmap to a life of complete

fulfillment

22 Eroded Sphere

David Mudgett• • •

As with the majority of my works, the shapes of the

materials at hand inspire the pieces. Eroded Sphere was originally inspired by a pile of rebar rings. Turning the

rings into a sphere seemed like the most natural thing to do. Whether you’re looking

through the Hubble telescope or an electron microscope, you can’t escape the fact that spheres dominate our universe. We are built of

spheres, as is everything we see touch and feel. In the time it takes to read this statement millions of them will have been pulled from this piece in their quest to rejoin the collective

that we call earth.

Stone sculpture is seeing a figure in a rough block of

limestone or alabaster … then carving out everything that is in the way, so the art can

emerge.

27 Motherhood On Pillow

Simon Kogan• • •

Creating art is difficult. An incredible amount of

understanding is needed: from knowledge of the history, tools and techniques of art to a knowledge of how we, as artists, fit into the

grander scheme. It is in a state of honed but empty readiness that the mystery of creativity may find

expression through us. If it does, it will be powerful, it will touch, and it will have life. It will then be worthy

of the term “art.”

29 Always GrowingAustin Byers

• • •Art gives me a freedom to express

my feelings and possibly have someone look at my sculpture and

feel the same way. I want a kid/adult to look at my sculpture say wow and smile, and make them realize art can

be anything you want it to be.. My sculpture is always changing due to the weather. In my opinion showing age can really affect a

piece. I chose a 3D sculpture so the viewer can see all around it like they

would a normal tree in the forest.

Stone sculpture is a wonderful outdoor medium because it

welcomes any weather as well as human touch.

33 Falco rusticolusross Matteson

• • •My bronze falcons and other works have a timeless appeal that goes beyond their subject

matter. Influenced by the bird art of Asian, Egyptian and Northwest Coast Native American cultures – I have applied what I love in

these ancient visual languages to my own personal love and

observation of nature.

31 BirdBruce Holmes

32 night Watchman leon White

• • •Most of my works are

representational, whether a landscape, animal or plant form. I choose a particular medium for a particular project that expresses the idea to make it strong. I try to

create movement, a flow in design, or an emotion.

• • •

34 VesperGretchen Daiber

• • • My work reflects the landscape and environment which I love – the mountains where I live, the many years that I spent at sea

with my husband as a commercial fisherman and the places I work

and travel. Trained as a printmaker and graphic designer then later as a sculptor, my passion is to record and interpret my surroundings with sculpture, pastels, original prints, journal sketches and watercolors.

35 HomeSabah Al-Dhaher

• • •The sculpture “Home” represents our common human need to find

our place and establish roots. As a political refugee I found my home

in the Pacific Northwest.

37 unwrappedDan toone

• • •“I enjoy taking the normally rigid and structural steel and turning it into smooth unrestrained flowing lines, shapes and forms. Many of my pieces have begun with a

found object or a fall off piece from another project. Something about

the shape and form will attract me and from there, I begin to

create. As I work with the patinas, I am always amazed at the

individual personality that comes out in each piece of steel.”

45 neck FragmentKevin Pettelle

• • • A sculptor for over thirty-two

years, Kevin Pettelle has devoted himself to the exploration and

interpretation of the human figure. With its tactile warmth, historic

durability and a remarkable ability to accent form, bronze has proven the perfect medium of choice to

express himself.

• • •I found this pose (for this

sculpture) on a church bulletin and liked the curves and flow. I had bought at recycling a large

amount of stainless steel wire and was looking for a project for it. A lot of the shape was determined by the shape of the wire coils as it is tempered steel and hard to

bend other than by heating.
