Today, I installed edition 2 of Ananda in front of Washington Federal Bank at the corner of Third and Main Streets in Edmonds. It is part of a sculpture loan program and is available for purchase through Cole Gallery, who partnered to finalize the agreement with the bank. I am thrilled that Jack Durney, bank branch manager, obtained approval for the installation from the bank headquarters! After enjoying the ubiquity of public sculptures in Western Europe, I have been an advocate of having more public sculpture here in this country
. Further, I have aspired to have one of my bronze sculptures displayed in a prominent location in public, particularly in my home town. This is a dream of mine come true!
How satisfying to sit on the nearby bench and watch passersby interact with the sculpture.
