Kristin Tollefson, a local Bainbridge Island sculptor and artist, in the "Donor Recognition" dedication speech said it was "a metaphor of a Bainbridge beach." The frame is located in the entryway of the Bainbridge Island Library. The donor recognition frame was designed and constructed by Kristin with fabrication assistance from Ryan Landworth. It is waxed mild steel with water jet cut elements and hand cast resin shells and stones, made from molds taken from actual beach findings from Bainbridge Island. The photograph over which the donor names appear was taken by the artist, and depicts the beach and water's edge in front of her childhood home on West Port Madison. The image also acts as a metaphor for the many individuals who support the library, and reminds us of the symbiotic relationship islanders have with their environment. Inspiration for the form of this piece came from a book Tollefson checked out from the library: The Alabama Stitch Book, which uses pieced textiles to create layered effects.
