International Sculpture Exhibition (2005)

To encourage awareness, April was cast on this site, formed from Canadian and American soil and filled with blessings for peace. Concrete and Steel. Aaron Haba, Camano Island, WA.
	Tortuosity ~ The needle point pose is one of the most difficult dance positions due to its extreme bends. It represents any art form taken to its pinnacle. The dancer is looking skyward, representing even higher goals. Bronze. Larry Schessel, Raleigh, NC.
April ~ April is inspired by the subtle forms that surround us. The stone that makes us pause, the forms that resonate within us in a familiar and intimate way. Those that draw us closer to nature.
"April" is the site first site specific sculpture to be accepted to be created on site in the international park. To see the steps and process click here!
	Free Spirit ~ A kinetic sculpture with three main rotations and fourteen sub-movements. Various lengths of stainless steel chime and rotate in the wind. Stainless Steel. Nick Westbrook, Elmira, OR.
Two of the Wormy Apple Series ~ The sculpture is an abstraction of wormy apple parts. Cast Aluminum. Edward Humpherys, Walla Walla, WA.
	Sensei ~ Lean manufacturing, taught by sensei (Japanese for teacher), helped America compete before the economic effects of outsourcing were felt. This abstracted polyethylene sculpture honors Japan’s effort. High Density Polyethylene & Steel. Allen T. Emhoff, Seattle, WA.
Manitou ~ Manitou is a visual reminder of the forces of time, energy and morphic resonance which are always around us. I have attempted to visually “crate” these forces. Follow the form of the piece, twisting through sky then earth and back.
Then follow the form while mentally removing the planks. That is when you will actually see the sculpture. Steel and Redwood. Anthony Ricci, San Francisco, CA.
	Spiral II ~ Spiral II is an expression of my interaction with nature and with the phenomenon of fractals and spirals constantly recurring in the physical world. Fractals are patterns of chaos, randomly beautiful shapes and objects such as waves, clouds, eddies in streams that inspire me. The spiral is an important form in my philosophical outlook on life.
We live our lives in cyclical patterns never quite repeating themselves, but coming close enough that we often feel we've "been here before." This spiral philosophy, as opposed to a linear philosophy, presents a more hopeful and positive outlook for personal enrichment and second chances. Stainless Steel. Don Anderson, Everson, WA.
Off Centre ~ Off Centre probes the contemporary assumption that the earth is a facet of the human economy rather than vice versa. It is part of a series called Running Man that explores the paradigm of competition which teaches us to be in a win/lose race with one another,
precluding cooperation as individuals, communities and nations. Concrete, Steel, Rock & Chain. Marion Lea Jamieson, Vancouver, BC.
	Forged Identity: Yitzhak Rabin ~ The fingerprint is unique to each individual and is recognizably human, independent of race, sex, creed or class. Therefore, it symbolizes the equality of all individuals, an equality which is a pre-requisite for peace. Yitzhak Rabin was the driving force behind the Oslo Peace Accords. Bronze. Martha Dunham, Renton, WA.
Pi in the Sky III ~ The symbol “pi” has many meanings in many cultures and makes an intriguing passageway in the shape of an arch. Stainless Steel. Micajah Bienevu, Friday Harbor, WA.
	Yardbirds ~ Yardbirds is influenced by simple universal elements of folk and ethnographic art with the added twist of scale and venue found in contemporary and modern art. My goal is to create a familiar form presented in an unexpected way. Hybridized Cement and Styrofoam. Jack Kleinart, Shoreline, WA.
L.O.V.E. ~ The hand gesture represents a form of visual poetry and communicates powerful and positive images of the human condition. Bronze. Dorothy Frankel, Sag Harbor, NY.
	Francis Holding Penny the Hen ~ My Great Aunt Francis once had a run-in with a mean rooster. She pinned his neck down with a pitch-fork and left him to think things over for a bit. Here she is in a calmer moment. Bronze & Wood. Lila Locati, Walla Walla, WA.
