All Clear, 2003
Karen Hackenberg
(American, born 1955)
Location: Peninsula College - Fort Worden, Port Townsend
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Karen Hackenberg's All Clear is part of a series of drawings of common rooftop structures at Fort Worden Historical State Park. Hackenberg is attracted to the rooftop structures' shapes, angles, and placement. She also notes, "they suggest familiar archetypes: tribal hats, helmets, armored knights, soldiers, chess men, military officers, and kings and queens." Hackenberg created this series while an artist-in-residence at Centrum on the Fort Worden campus in Port Townsend, on the Olympic Peninsula of Northwestern Washington.
Curator Kathleen Garrett selected this artwork as part of a collection of artworks for Peninsula College's Fort Worden campus in Port Townsend. The collection reflects and explores Port Townsend and Fort Worden's architecture and its unique Northwest landscape and character.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Peninsula College.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Port Townsend, Washington-based painter Karen Hackenberg playfully challenges how waste affects the environment. In an ongoing painting and drawing series, she captures images of trash found near her studio. She also creates drawings on an iPad, intentionally leaving them unfinished. She has served as a panelist, curator, and instructor in both the field of art and environmental affairs.
Hackenberg received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).
