ABOUT THE ARTWORK
World Pools is part of a body of work inspired by artist Virginia Paquette's fascination with the sites, symbols and memories associated with water. This piece layers vibrant blue imagery of a rippling surface of water over areas of color. It was printed onto found paper.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bethel School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The late Seattle-based artist Virginia Paquette created paintings and conceptual public art installations. She stated that the primary urge in her work is "to make marks, images, symbols that will communicate to you a message, feeling, visual stimuli that may be pleasing or thought-provoking."
Paquette received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1976 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1978, both in painting, from the University of Washington in Seattle.
