Aftermath, 1983

Location: Shoreline Community College, Shoreline
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The photograph Aftermath was taken by artist William Self in the Canadian Rockies. Depicting burned pine trees in the snow, this piece is part of Self's exploration of abstract composition. Discussing his process, the photographer notes, "I always look for a composition that captures a smaller aspect of the whole which includes dramatic lines that work to magnify the impact of textures, subtle values of light, and contrasting colors or forms."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Shoreline Community College.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Northwest photographer William Self creates abstracted and painterly landscape, still life, and architectural compositions.
Self received a degree in zoology from Washington State University in Pullman, Eastern Washington, and a degree in dentistry from the University of Washington in Seattle.
