A Seattle artist accepted the task of memorializing the people killed in the Oso slide. Over the past two years, she's created 26 panels, one for each family.scene, the ominous presence of the hillside itself was the focal point, a menacing cloud of dirt and misery looming over everything."To go to that site and every time, see that landslide, it's truly very emotional for me. Every time," said Seattle artist Tsovinar Muradyan.
The rust-colored steel monuments, some more than 7 feet tall, are spread throughout the grounds of the scene's newly dedicated memorial park. "It's so people and family members who come here, can find peace and harmony," says Muradyan."I'm so grateful the families opened their hearts and shared these precious moments and stories with me." During a visit to the artist's Seattle studio, he told her,"You did such a beautiful job," to which the soft-spoken Armenian immigrant responded,"Thank you I put my heart in the project.
On his visit to Muradyan's studio, Hadaway looked over the plans for his brother's memorial. It's a fitting tribute with Steve's beloved Whitehorse Mountain keeping watch over him.
