Artist Statement: For this commission entitled Pathway, I was asked to create a work that would capture the spirit of the late progressive City Councilman Michael Hildt. This piece celebrates those who live a robust life, who open up doors for themselves and for others with vision and fortitude, as Michael Hildt did in his life of public service. 

 Location: Seattle Municipal Tower, Floor 32, City Light, Michael Hildt Conference Room
