Location: Carmichael Middle School, Richland
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist George Radebaugh created the whimsical sculpture Silver using CDs (compact discs). It is part of his series of CD sculptures showing “that beautiful work can be made with everyday materials.” The overlapping, shimmering CDs suggest fish scales, and the light and color that reflects off the piece suggests movement. He notes, “Salmon and software both play a very big part in our present lives in the northwest. While the CD is rapidly coming obsolete, it is my hope that salmon will not. As pointed out to me recently the viewer often sees his or her reflection in the piece reminding us that we are all involved in the present salmon issues.”
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Richland School District.
