Tribute Baskets, 2016, steel sculpture located in Waypoint Park, corner of Winslow Way E. and Olympic Drive. Collection of the City of Bainbridge Island.

“Tribute Baskets” by Portland artist Christine Clark represent four cultures (Suquamish, Japanese, Filipino, and Scandinavian) of historical significance to Bainbridge Island. Clark’s pieces beautify a prominent public space with eye-catching symbols of our community’s living history.

The artist said her vision was “to have the sculptures nestle nicely in the garden-scape of Waypoint… and become residents of the park, quiet observers watching people walk past while subtly holding the island’s rich history, welcoming people home while also greeting newcomers.”
