ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Photographer Glenn Rudolph captured Snoqualmie Tunnel using a two-hour long exposure. It was taken as part of his body of photographs documenting abandoned railroad lines in Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Rudolph uses trainline images as a metaphor to describe the complex consequences of man-made development on people and the land.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Kent School District.
