Ponderstone (3), 1980

Location: Lake Stevens High School, Lake Stevens

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Ponderstone (3) is an abstract stone sculpture created by artist Brian Goldbloom for Lake Stevens High School. He constructed the abstract sculpture from three blocks of granite. He notes, "The two broad faces of the piece are made up of vertical undulating forms. The forms in the center of the piece are twisted in juxtaposition to the upper and lower portions." The forms suggest draped fabric, or the effect of air rippling water.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Lake Stevens School District.
