In the center of the Fred Hutch South Lake Union campus stands a towering 60-foot sculpture. It may seem a contradiction, but the landmark architectural sculpture should strike observers as both monumental and delicate. That’s according to its creator, architectural sculptor Ed Carpenter.
Carpenter characterizes “Vessel” as a centerpiece for Fred Hutch. “My intention was to create a sculpture that could not be anywhere else – that would feel right for this site and this institution both physically and metaphorically,” he said.
