Mammoth, 2018

2018_Mammoth_Newsletter_2

A new public project installed at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA in partnership with the Washington State Arts Commission. For the exterior of the Samuelson Building I constructed, Mammoth, a large-scale installation that will act as an iconic landmark for the university. The imagery alludes to the mammoth fragment studied by the university and creates a visual metaphor for the scientific advancements made from that discovery. The sculpture is composed of two separate Cor-ten steel elements jutting out of the ground that make up one colossal image in our mind, suggesting a buried mammoth tusk with parts visible and parts invisible.
