Verena Schwippert in Walla Walla – Sept/Oct 2006

Her design proposal, pictured here, was accepted by the Washington State Arts Commission for the Art in Public Places program, and by Walla Walla Community College. Now she can start carving.

Verena has been busy with a host of necessary preliminaries which included the following: budget, technical aspects, installation procedure, material and reasons for material choice, dimensions, site selection, production time-line, plaque content and position, and its connection to the building and the surrounding area.

They also had to have images. She supplied a drawing of the three boulder hands with dimensions, one perspective drawing of the whole assemblage, plus an architectural drawing of the site. And, as you see here, she constructed a 3 dimensional model as well.

We will keep you posted on Verena’s progress on this wonderful commission.
