Washington Wide is now stocked at Cascadia Art Museum in Edmonds. Thank you to Gwen Johnson and the team for carrying it.
Cascadia is a nonprofit museum devoted to the visual arts and design of the Northwest from 1860 to 1970. Its exhibitions, publications, and public programs give particular attention wide diversity of artists whose work shaped the region’s identity. It’s the only museum in the country dedicated solely to Northwest art.
This January, the museum opens a two-year exhibition on the history of Washington State art. A book about what this state looks like fits well in a museum devoted to the region’s art, and I’m glad it will be on the shelf while that exhibition runs.
Washington Wide is 172 pages of panoramic photographs, made over more than thirty years entirely on Fujichrome Velvia 50 film. It moves through glaciers, coast, high desert, and prairie, because one state holds more variety than most people expect. Randy Lewis wrote the foreword.
