Artful Legacies
“Shilo” wood and paper sculpture by Rex Silvernail
Clark College recently honored the legacies of two local artists by placing their work in Cannell Library.
In fall 2012, friends of the late Rex Silvernail approached Clark College about receiving one or more of his artworks. Silvernail, an accomplished sculptor, had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and wanted to ensure that his art would be kept available to the public after his death. Clark is among many institutions that stepped forward to house his work.
