Storm Patterns
The artwork is inspired
by the history of Monroe and the program of Lake
Tye. This lovely recreational lake also functions
as a storm water retention pond, reflecting the
city’s advanced solutions for sustainability.
My research in Monroe’s history revealed
a photograph of “the leading ladies of Monroe”,
who were from the Snohomish
Indian tribe like many of the wives of the first
pioneers of the Skykomish Valley. The artwork
represents profiles of the women and a cumulonimbus
cloud formed from converging cumulus clouds.
