Blu Stratus
Artist: Lin Cook
Date: 2000
Location: McKenzie Hall
A heavily patinaed piece of metal work that hangs in relief from the wall. The turquoise sheet metal is cut into undulating pieces that when assembled and hung in relief on the wall resemble a representation of an archipelago from above. This piece relates to the Untitled Sculpture exterior piece also done by Lin Cook. Cook, whose company is called Eutectica Design (Monroe, Ore.) completed Untitled as a Percent for Art commission in December, 2000. In reference to this work, Cook states "as a hint of the larger piece inside, a small element of the larger sculpture is installed to the left of the main entry door" (Percent for Art documentation). Cook received a B.S. (Liberal Arts, 1979) and B.F.A. (1980) degrees from the University of Oregon.
