ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Ocean Beach, Moss Wall is part of late artist James Sahlstrand's series "Photographs of Washington State." He produced the photographs over the course of a year. He noted, " I attempted to photograph in as many geographical areas of the state as possible: the ocean, mountains, forests and the many aspects of the state east of the Cascades. I was in favor of the decision to not limit the work to any local area but, rather, to explore the various qualities of Washington as a whole."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Northshore School District.
