About the Artist:

Beth Kohler (now Heron) is faculty at Clark College, teaching metal sculpture. She was awarded an Exceptional Faculty Award in 2005-06. 

From her website "Metal has always been my material of choice. I work with bronze because its historical aspect is important to me. It is both beautiful and enduring. I am attracted to the arduous work and ritual pouring of the molten metal. When I cast, the fiery stream I pour connects civilizations past and present. Often, I will combine the cast bronze with stone, stainless steel and copper to create a rich contrast of materials."

Artwork Description:

Patinaed bronze figure with stone layers. The figure has a red stone on the left chest, and an abstract headpiece. The sculpture features geometric and organic shapes.
