Human Forms in Balance

Rita Kepner began work on a large 3,500 lb. Black Steatite stone quarried from Northern Washington on April 13, 1975. With cooperation from the Downtown Seattle Development Association, she was able to work in a closed off area of the Westlake Mall in downtown Seattle. This entailed the assistance of the City Engineering Department in terms of cleanup, and a wonderful crew from Woodland Park Shops of the Seattle Park Department who assisted with a 10,000 lb. crane lift in changing the position of the stone as needed during the five month project.
