About the Artwork
'Did You Listen?' is part of artist Liza vonRosenstiel's body of works that combine images of animals with found objects to create sculptural icons of each animal. Following a series depicting Ranch animals, which were completed while vonRosenstiel taught at Deep Springs College in California, this piece was created as part of her series titled "Are You Listening?" and focuses on the quiet, attentive animals the artist observed in the forests of the Olympic Peninsula.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
