ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Eden III is part of artist Carolyn Krieg's "InsideOut" series. It features layered images that she manipulates digitally and by hand. Krieg notes, "This work is about myth, memory, and mortality. To make these images I generally begin with my own photographs of family and friends, classical artworks, or various animals."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Montesano School District.
