Sculpture Stands Tall in Display Garden
A sculpture by retired anthropology professor Richard Daugherty in 1983 in memory of WSU professor of plant pathology, Shirl Graham now stands in the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Display Garden. The sculpture is based on a 1.5 inch tall whale-bone carving found at the famous Ozette archaeological excavation site on the Olympic Peninsula. The excavation was of a Makah whaling village located near Ozette Lake that was buried in a mudslide, preserving the people’s houses and belongings. Makah and WSU scientists unearthed the village from 1970 to1982 and were led by Daugherty.
In order to protect the sculpture from the construction going on in the IT building, the sculpture was recently moved to the Display Garden. "Not many people got to see the statue where it was,” said Keith Wells, curator for the WSU Museum of Art. "We thought moving it would be a good complement to the garden. We want people to enjoy it.” For more photos, click here »
