Mary Randlett: Landscapes February 10, 2008

Mary Randlett's photographic vision of the Northwest is big-hearted, intricate, and tender -- and fully inhabited by the animals, tides, forests, mountains and spirits that dwell there. What others may take for granted, Randlett sees as quintessential: overcast days with endless and often exquisite variations of gray clouds, raindrops on puddles, dripping branches, and distant shafts of sunlight breaking through the cloud cover. She is steeped in the history of the Northwest and its many art forms. The images presented here are a visual record of the Northwest at its most pristine and poetic.
