Heaven, Man, and Earth
Location: Aberdeen City Hall, 200 East Market Street Courtyard
George Tsutakawa was a Seattle-born artist, considered to be the 20th century master of fountains. His sculptural fountains grace many public places in Seattle and around the world.
He summed up his fascination with water as follows: “Our sense of continuity and rhythm is universal in water. Even in childhood, I was interested in running water, in the recycling process of water. I remember Mark Tobey talking to me about the life cycle of the universe and the fact that water moves about endlessly in its various forms; vapor, ice drops forming in the clouds to be released into the rivers. This recycling always fascinated me.”
Heaven, Man, and Earth is also a classic stance in Tai Chi.
