(American, born 1966)
Location: Peninsula College, Port Angeles
- ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Mary Iverson's painting is inspired by the Port of Seattle's container terminal—represented here by a complex network of overlapping planes and dramatic perspective lines—and its implications of industry and accumulation.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Peninsula College.
