Devil's Churn, Oregon / Devil's Churn, Oregon, 1997
Carla Fraga
(American, born 1967)
Location: South Whidbey High School, Langley
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Photographer Carla Fraga's diptych Devil's Churn, Oregon / Devil's Churn, Oregon is part of her "Anywhere Series" which pairs compositionally similar landscape images. While many of these works pair images that are geographically separate, this piece pairs inverted images of the same location. These formal abstractions comment on our perception of place, and critique travel photography's emphasis on the exotic or recognizable.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with South Whidbey School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Carla Fraga is a Seattle-based photographer who teaches analog and digital photography, and has curated photography exhibits for FotoCircle Gallery.
