Art in Public Places - Columbia Basin CollegeErratics by Rae Mahaffey was recently installed at Columbia Basin College in Pasco. The artwork is oil on wood panels and stretches for 52 feet down a hallway in the new Washington Institute for Science Education (WISE) building.
Mahaffey's inspiration was guided by the school's geographic location, the committee's interest in global and far-ranging content, and the college's stated mission of diversity, fairness, and equity. The patterns are related to geology, botany, geometry, world crafts and the environment.
Artwork acquired through Washington State’s Art in Public Places Program becomes part of the State Art Collection - a collection of over 4,600 works of art located at state agencies, public schools, colleges, and universities throughout the state. | ||||
