ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Echos is part of artist Kay Buckner's series of paintings, "New Worlds..." inspired by Washington's modernist landmarks built in the 1920s and 1930s. This piece depicts the bridgeway over Seattle's Ravenna Park, and seeks to capture the mood of the Northwest landscape, as well as the optimism and self-assurance that characterized the designs of that era.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Department of Corrections.
