Cordi Bradburn |
| THW WENATCHEE WORLD By Jefferson Robbins WENATCHEE, WASHINGTON - Grandmotherly love shines through in Cordi Bradburn's "The Storyteller," a permanent exhibit in front of Leavenworth's city hall and public library building since 2001. Cast in aluminum by a method Bradburn studied with sculptor Richard Beyer, the piece depicts an aged woman regaling a boy and girl with a tale she knows so well, she doesn't need to read from the book on her lap. The $12,000 sculpture was financed almost entirely by private donations, and has become so beloved that Leavenworth residents sometimes dress it with hats and scarves for the winter. Gerber moves on to portray another kind of love with her next work - a sculpture of the famous signing chimpanzee Washoe, to be placed in Ellensburg, where the chimp lived at Central Washington University's Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. It should be installed within three or four months, she said. "I'm doing a portrait of her sitting on a rock, life-size. ... And she's signing 'friend.'" |
