::: Paintings & Sculpture ::: TRAVELS THROUGH TIME TO FIND YOU by Carolyn Hitt & ::: Ceramic Sculpture ::: CALM IN THE WILD MESS by Adrien Miller :: Music :: DJ Thad Wenatchee :: "8 o'clock moment" :: freestyle dance by TAQUEET$! & back up rap by Julie-C Carolyn Hitt Here you will find explorations of relationship, time, and the depth of information coursing through our DNA. I think about reincarnation, karma, and lifetimes of connections playing out day to day. I think about love, inexplicable familiarity and pods of community. I think of the cosmic and the anatomic, the cellular and the solar. I think of all our similarities distracted by and distanced through nuanced and targeted programming. I think of where we all come from. And when. And the hundreds of millions of lives that have been lived since then. Adrien Miller Seeing the body in clay reconnects me to a vast, geological earth time. Water is constantly changing our bodies and our landscape. Relentless vicissitudes of personal, natural, and cultural experiences weather us and our world. It is often visible on the surface of a persons face and posture, how one is being shaped by their unique experience. With undesirable and desirable things happening regularly and unpredictably, how do we respond? I am determined to cultivate equanimity through all the pleasant and painful experiences, and my work is seeking to visualize that inner process. Experimenting curiously with stained clay slips and the ways they transition from liquid to solid, I consider these colors as illustrating and eliciting a spectrum of flowing and crude sensations. I make in a way that often leads to surprising, and unpredictable results. I am striving to convey a sense of wonder and acceptance of the unruly human predicament, weather things are flowing favorably, or falling apart. ::: Paintings & Illustrations by :: Uyen Tran Gjerde & Karl Trewhela Jan 3rd to March 7th, 2018 :: Music & "8 o'clock moment":: Nic Lefebvre Uyen Tran Gjerde My inspiration comes from everywhere and sometimes out of nowhere. I mostly find human connections and the relationships people with their environments they create fascinating. The moments I capture are often in between the main events. What’s hidden and not in plain view. Karl Trewhela London based artist, Karl Trewhela’s use of the finest details in his pen and ink work search for the beauty within the dark, exploring the authenticity of the dimmest light, the slimmest hope. An ethereal world intertwining elements of nature, death, the human psyche and the power and fragility of sensitivity. The Siren's Call and The Face of Water

Using small amounts of pigment and teeny tiny brushes, I strive to weave a gossamer, organic web between foreground, midground, and background, between the deep places and the emerging light. I am seeking the vision within form and color of what is emerging, tuning the frequency where this complex world can sing in subtle harmony. November 1st – Jan 4th, 2018 ::: Paintings by :: BethAnn Lawson & Alan Rushing ::"8 o'clock moment":: Candice Rose BethAnn Lawson is a modern-impressionist painter who lives and works in Seattle, Washington. Her bold, striking work is heavily influenced from her long 30+ year career as a graphic designer and illustrator. Fascinated by people and design, her paintings capture candid glimpses of everyday life and buried secrets of strangers, surrounded by the architecture of both nature and man. Alan Rushing I’ve been painting for a long time, longer than I’ve done most anything else in my life. It’s evolved along the way, I’m not sure I’m where I thought I would be when I started. I thought eventually I would arrive at some magical place where you found out where you were going next. A place you mapped out a good portion of the rest of your life. I didn’t happen though, time flew by fast, and I haven’t a clue what is coming next. What I have found along the way is an appreciation for the craft of painting, and I’m willing to spend more time with the work than I was used to. I look for inspiration in everyday life, figures, interiors, still life, or landscape, anything having to do with the world I occupy. Regardless of the subject matter, I find myself trying to be more observant of the world around me, looking for those little details that separate one moment from another. I tend to think of myself as a counter-puncher, responding to what is thrown at me, acting on what I take in. I look for that catalyst that will take me on that next tangent of inspiration. A counter puncher chooses the appropriate response, waiting for the other person to make a move and then turning it to their advantage. In this way I let the subject matter speak to me, and influence how I would paint it. There is a definite give take to this process, trading blows if you will, before finding the final outcome, but that’s what makes the process interesting. Distant Realities October 4 – December 6, 2018 ::: Paintings by :: Kimberly Balla ::: Installations ::: David Lee Drake ::: Loft Hosted by ::: Relevant Unknown Yearbook ::"8 o'clock moment":: Group performance featurning LoLo Ramone, Natalie Luma & the costumes of Elijah Strongheart Evenson ::: Music ::: Recess ::: SPECIAL ::: Corner Gallery Featuring City Arts Magazine Fall Art Walk Awards Kimberly Balla Cilia-like protrusions radiate outwards into an ocean of liquid glazes. Swirling patterns of flowing paint and metallic pigment settle into a loosely controlled composition. Layers of glazed oil and sediment simulate a depth which reaches beyond the surface. A discovery and manipulation of a technique which captures a chemical process freezing it in time. My work is about a chemical process of approaching paint. I use the paint and viscous oil mediums in a way which is similar to an eroding natural process. I focus on how the paint can move and change itself and how I can manipulate that change. I am interested in experimentation in order to get patterns and textures which are unusual to me. Thinking about paint in a chemical way allows me to create these unfamiliar textures. The process of trial and error granted way for the discovery of an exciting technique which creates iridescent atmospheric designs. By mixing various painting mediums I have developed a blend of liquids which chemically react with each other to create unique patterns and contours. I carefully mix oozing liquids into one another and watch as the forms magically appear and change before my eyes. I observe as my brush moves through the liquid surface signaling a reaction,which I have come to know, and harness as my own. I become mesmerized by the twinkling sediments as they emerge and submerge in the pooling liquids.This process of glazing and manipulating the watery chemical layers assists in creating a deep other worldly surface. Nature: A Visual Dialogue
::: Paintings by :: Cheryl H. Hahn and Donal Murphy September 6 – November 2, 2018 ::"8 o'clock moment":: Whitney Wanderlust Cheryl H. Hahn Presented here are organic, biomorphic shapes enfolded within dynamic, colorful compositions that allude to landscape, botanical growth, and abundance. The mixed media-on-wood paintings depict forms that appear to be tumbling, rolling, swirling, and clustering together, while at the same time releasing an animating energy. I have selected paintings from several bodies of work over the past few years, thus stylistic variations emerge. My goal is not to imitate nature, but to connect with it in a more spiritual way; thus capturing the alchemy of light, color, form and pattern of intangible life forces that transcend what we see as the “real” world. The end result is a series of paintings that illustrate a complex “organic surrealism” that I hope viewers will find mystifying, engaging, and celebratory. Donal Murphy In recent paintings, which are acrylic paint on photographs, I am departing from a sci-fi narrative in which matter is summoned by environmental forces. The idea of a twister is a good starting point. Moisture in the air compelled by wind, creating an unexpected moving object. We can call that weather. People interpret the weather, people can read it. This series imagines literal communication from our environment........an alphabet. Aside from the narrative, the objects in these paintings could be seen as sculptures, they are just painted instead of built. In terms of painting, the painted objects are a response to the photograph of the environment, their creation can be dealt with in terms of the dynamics of mark making on a canvas. |
