ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Going Downtown is part of artist Kay Buckner's series of works that capture and explore the artist's memories of her childhood in Seattle. Using an exaggerated perspective, this piece highlights the steep sloping lawn of a terraced house, and contrasts richly colorful, unembellished areas with finely detailed figures.
