Barbara Zander         Artist
Evergreen Medical Center
Woodinville, WA

Evergreen Medical Center opened a new
facility in Woodinville, Washington in
spring 2011. They wanted a piece of art
for a waiting room and also wanted the
community and the staff to have some
kind of part in the creation of the art.

I proposed a silk construction with a
part of it being woven with hand-dyed
ribbon. The community and staff would
write messages of hope on the ribbon
and then weave them on looms I
constructed for the project.

My silk construction design was chosen
for the project.
