Carolyn Krieg
(American, born 1953)

Location: Walter Strom Middle School, Cle Elum

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Quadrica del Sole is part of artist Carolyn Krieg's "Fauna" series of unique, manipulated photographs. This series is based on film the artist took while working at a wildlife rehabilitation center and at a riding school for the disabled. She notes, "In this series I was suggesting fossilized imprints from the past, or sepia images of long dead relatives."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Cle Elum-Roslyn School District.
