THE POLLINATOR PROJECT
Tiny life finds a home.
The Story
Year completed: 2017
Mediums: Ferro-cement – concrete over metal armature and water-based stains.
Dimensions: 7’ x 7’ x 4’
Commissioning Agency: Avanti High School, Olympia, WA
Collaborators: Avanti High School, Madison Elementary School, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Olympia Native Bee Society.
This whimsical sculpture explores the importance of pollinators. It is the permanent centerpiece for Avanti High School’s pollinator garden, houses native bee habitat, and is used as a teaching tool for elementary and high school students. I love how the medium, ferro-cement, brings together my love for painting and sculpture in a permanent, versatile way.
