Feather Star, 1978
Ali Baudoin
American (born 1949)
Location: Everett Community College, Everett
About the Artwork
Artist Ali Baudoin was inspired by the form of a type of marine crinoid – a flowerlike sea animal known as a feather star. In 1987, this sculpture survived an arson on campus that destroyed Everett Community College's 40-year-old library and its collection of 48,000 books and periodicals. The artwork has since become a symbol of resiliency for the college.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Everett Community College.
About the Artist
Ali Baudoin is a metal sculptor. His sculptures are located globally in public and private settings. Ali says of his work, “Illusion is the magic that activates the interest in a work of art. It allows us to slip from our realities into our own dreams. The space around the forms becomes a positive shape. This compounds the tension and sculptural movement of the form.”Baudoin received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. He received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington in Seattle.
