The Edge, 1993
Debra Davis
(American, born 1960)
Location: Kingston Middle School, Kingston
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Debra Davis created The Edge as an investigation into technology's impact on the landscape, and explores "how humans interact with the world, how we see things, and move through the landscape." The composition was inspired by the artist's time spent working as a trail technician for the U.S. Forest Service in the Cascade Range mountains of Washington state, and the point of view references how the landscape looks from an airplane.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with North Kitsap School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST

A longtime resident of Central Washington, Davis received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Central Washington University in Ellensburg and taught art at Yakima Valley College.
