Ellensburg Library Rotary Plaza • Ellensburg WA • 2003
I approached Celeste Kline, the Director of Ellensburg’s Library,
in the summer of 2000 with the idea that Kittitas County should do
an art piece to celebrate the Millennium. We put together a committee
of interested community members. As the lead artist, I assisted the
community in the creation and development of the Millennium Labyrinth.
The labyrinth is composed of four sections, each highlighting a segment
of the county’s history. Beginning with the tile that shows
the State of Washington, created from five separate landmasses, 52
incised tiles convey the story of our county. In the center of the
labyrinth is a granite circle with a bronze three-dimensional map
of Kittitas County. Below this stone is a vault containing a time
capsule.
