Iron Goat Trail #1, 2018
Daniel Hawkins
(American, born 1974)
Location: University of Washington - Medical Center Northwest, Seattle
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Iron Goat Trail #1 is a photograph by Daniel Hawkins, taken while exploring the Iron Goat Trail, west of Leavenworth, near Highway 2 in the Cascade Mountains. Hawkins notes, "I think [these images] exemplify the unique beauty of the PNW and have many connections with our rich history."
This artwork is part of a curated collection of Northwest-based artists by Dawna Holloway at the UW Medical Center Northwest in North Seattle, Western Washington. The local art selection committee wanted artworks that would create a welcoming, peaceful environment for the patient floors of the new Behavioral Health Teaching facility. The photographs were printed onto Acrovyn, an industrial wall covering. They span floor-to-ceiling to bring lush nature inside, transforming the residents’ sterile surroundings.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with University of Washington.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dan Hawkins is a Seattle-based photographer who uses a wide variety of obsolete and innovative imaging processes. His photographs are highly personal and often deal with themes of memory and decay. His subjects are empty houses, discarded water towers, EPA Superfund sites, chemical factories, decaying ballrooms, deserted nuclear facilities, crumbling hotels, and a number of derelict mental hospitals and jails. Hawkins attempts to describe a “landscape of the soul.”
