About the Artwork

Artist David Wilson captured the photograph Alders in Ice in Sandy River, Oregon in 1986. The composition highlights boldly contrasting cracks and patterns found in the winter landscape. The artist notes, “I am drawn to compositions in which the natural beauty also incorporates some element of ambiguity, mystery or even confusion.”

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bellingham Technical College.

About the Artist

Northwest photographer David H. Wilson, Jr. creates abstracted landscape compositions that explore manipulated perspectives. This composition style allows the viewer to remove "a startling and original scene from its surroundings."

Wilson grew up in northern Ohio and earned a law degree from the University of Wisconsin. In 1974, he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he practiced law. He has had a lifelong interest and love for birding, canoeing, rafting, and the outdoors.
