Fountainhead III, 1994
Carolyn Krieg
(American, born 1953)
Location: Clarkston Heights Elementary, Clarkston
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Fountainhead III is part of artist Carolyn Krieg's 'Relics' series of unique manipulated photographs. This series is based on film the artist took while traveling in Italy and France in 1992. The imagery captures sculpture, frescoes, and mosaics that depict Greek, Roman, and African myths and culture. She notes, "The pieces are about the nether world, about understanding the subliminal, about carrying fragments of memory into the present... Reinterpreting/translating ancient, timeless imagery with high technology adds a cryptic dimension."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Clarkston School District.

Krieg studied at the University of Washington in Seattle and at Marylhurst College in Oregon. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in French from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
