OBJECTS IN A STREAM

Florence Ledding Library, Milwaukie, Oregon
2019
Beechwood-clad dividing wall, 14 objects and artworks
110” x 272” x 32”

Commissioned by Milwaukie Arts Commission, for Ledding Library in Milwaukie, Objects in a Stream pairs with Under a Sky Spread With Light. Under a Sky has a storytime mural, while Objects features a soundproof wall made in collaboration with Hacker Architects. The wall reclaims a beloved beech tree and separates sections between adults and children. It has a child-size door and 14 pass-through boxes that hold smaller artworks: local indigenous craft, archives, and new artwork from me. Here is a canoe mat creaser, abalone shell and cedar hat, building model, camas flowers, giant Bing cherry, and more.
