You are invited to attend the dedication of
Sumi Wu’s Root and Wing
at The Evergreen State College
When: Wednesday, May 14, at 3pm
Where: The Evergreen State College – Lab 1 building, ground floor lobby
Root and Wing , completed in December, 2013, fills the Lab 1 lobby space with organisms that seem to grow from the ceiling and walls. Sumi used cast bronze, cast aluminum, and hand-blown glass to create lively, colorful, organic forms that embody the beauty and flow of nature while evoking natural processes of change, relationship, evolution, and adaptation.
The installation will be dedicated by:
Thomas L. (Les) Purce, President, The Evergreen State College
Mike Sweney, Art in Public Places Program Manager, ArtsWA (the Washington State Arts Commission)
There will be three performances:
Sumi Wu, Artist, dancing to music by Benjamin Starshine
Anne Rutherford, storytelling
Paul Susi, monologue
Please join us to celebrate the addition of this artwork to the Evergreen campus and for some light refreshments.
Root and Wing was commissioned by the Washington State Arts Commission in partnership with The Evergreen State College
