Tacoma's newest piece of public art.
Here is local artist Shaun Peterson finishing up work on the 22-foot "Welcome Figure" statue to be installed at Tollefson Plaza in Downtown Tacoma Aug. 15.
I interviewed Shaun back in January 2009, right when the real "work" was begining on the project that had existed conceptually for years prior.
It was really cool to meet back up with him today and see this large-scale carving of a traditional Salish woman coming into the final stages.
Shaun is an awesome artist, and I truly admire his amazing work on such a highly-visible and monumental undertaking of public art.
