This is a proposal drawing for what is a permanent artwork on the 9th floor of the Seattle Justice Center. The imagery is rooted in both our ancient heritage and folk traditions (of various cultures) and is meant to speak to a common humanity. Neither narrative nor hierarchical it is about harmony and balance. The images are meant to be seen as simply coexisting peacefully in time. –Artist statement
