March 5, 2011 - Moon Gates

Doris Totten Chase's 17 foot high "Moon Gates" is a bronze sculpture installed at the base of Seattle's Space Needle in 1999.  Doris Chase (1923-2008) was a Seattle native whose work in art began with painting and sculpture.  In the early 1970s she was a pioneer in the area of video art.  Ms. Chase's sculpture "Changing Form", was installed at Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill in 1971. (See December 6, 2010 - "Needle Topper" for a view of Kerry Park and May 1, 2009 - "Changing Form as Frame" for the lines of that sculpture.)
