About the Artwork

Rolling Wapatolian Finger Zither is a mixed media sculpture created by artist David Green for Wapato Elementary School. He conceived of this sculpture as a "fantasy musical instrument." The design, with a curved neck and a wheel at one end, whimsically expands on the form of a guitar.

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