ABOUT THE ARTWORK
On the Run is a woodblock print by artist Garth Edwards. As an artist who also creates large-scale public sculpture, Edwards describes his printmaking process as "often a more personal and ambiguous endeavor than my other work." The composition of this piece emphasizes active and expressive marks, made by carving tools.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Battle Ground School District.
