About the Artwork

Artist William Self captures architectural detail in his photograph Garden Entry. The imagery highlights differences in texture, light, and form. He notes that this piece “exemplifies my approach to composing images from a smaller perspective utilizing arches, doorways, and windows to create a dynamic composition.”

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Lake Stevens School District.
