Jim Lilly '82 Artwork

Parallax

A work commissioned by the City of Seattle's Public Works Department, presented in the format of a large triptych. The triptych chronicles the journey of the Chinook Salmon from Puget Sound to their spawning grounds in the Cedar River and Issaquah Creek watersheds, as well as their impact on the resident killer whale population. Each piece includes a variety of clues alluding to landmarks and obstacles the fish encounter along the way.
