In September 1999
the Bellevue Art Museum, in Bellevue, WA, broke ground for the construction
of its new building. At the same time the Museum commissioned Douglas
Kornfeld to design artwork for the construction fence surrounding the
site.
Museum patrons and students in the community were given workshops using computer design software and under the direction of the artist
designed self portraits based on the standard international male and
female icons. Some of these have been incorporated into the fence along
with figures designed by the artist.
