Mary Randlett Landscapes

"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. During her many years of observation, Randlett has learned to take the time to ponder the essences of what she sees - the curl of a bird's drifting feather, a water strider not quite breaking the surface of the water, fog ascending a hillside, the moment a pond's surface turns to ice."--Jacket.… (more)
