About the Artwork

The Search for Earth & Sky by Dana Boussard represents the variety of our thoughts and feelings. A slow, curved, dark red band divides two horses running in different directions and two flowers. Boussard notes that this artwork is "dividing our dark, quiet night thoughts from our light, exuberant daytime thoughts... So often we have conflicts between the feelings that we have during the day and those that take over when dark comes. In truth, however, no matter how different we sometimes feel, we are still the same person."

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