Recreating Washington |
| Anshuman Razdan, 40, director of the Arizona State University's Partnership for Research in Spatial Modelling, is collaborating with anthropologist Jeffrey Schwartz, who has been commissioned by Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, to virtually recreate three lifelike, life-size figures of George Washington. It will use computer imaging and some old-fashioned detective work to create three models of Washington. The statues will capture Washington as a surveyor at age 19, on horseback as commander in chief at 45, and being sworn in president at 57. |
