Public Art Display in Burien

The site developer asked me to create an idea for the corner of this commercial development in Burien, WA. The proposed site was adjacent to a public transportation transfer station. The immediate area was utilized by the waiting public. The concept was to create durable art that reflected the area. So Mr. Dunton carved windows into seven basalt columns which revealed the people within the columns as though also waiting for the transportation. There men in suits, a child running, an older woman with a scarf, as well as a younger woman in a dress, all only partially revealed. This commision was completed in 2007-2008.
