ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Wizards is part of artist Brian Goldbloom's body of stone sculpture composed to highlight variations in textured surfaces, organic forms, and spatial relationships. The title hints that the vertical and horizontal elements of the piece could be interpreted as magical figures.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
