Waterfront Evolution highlights an essential feature of Seattle’s working waterfront: shipping cranes. The artist photographed the red-orange structures from a First Hill neighborhood viewpoint, then layered the color image beneath a 19th century line drawing to emphasize the cranes’ resemblance to giraffes. The artist’s practice often contrasts vintage imagery with contemporary photos and materials. –Artist statement
