Looking for Light
Despite a rocky start to the year -- just resistance, really -- I am now delighted to be able to read my watch before 8 am, and see details outside at 5 pm. The light is making its way back to us!

And some shows are underway too, or at least ready enough for me to tell you about them. First, I'm thrilled to be printing a few pieces from my latest series, Pretty/Angry, for a March show at Lynn Hanson Gallery, along with work from Lynn and Eliza Brown in a show called Quiet Voices.

If you're around Seattle in March, I'll be at Lynn Hanson Gallery for First Thursday, March 5, 5-8 pm, and Second Saturday, March 14, from 2-4 pm. See you there?
|
And what if you're not in Seattle? How about near Vancouver? Well! A long-simmering show is up this month through the beginning of April, in Port Coquitlam. Clocking In for Unpaid Labour is a well-curated, conversation-sparking exhibit, drawn from a wide variety of Canadian artists on the topic of all those hours of effort that make the world work.

My contribution to Clocking In for Unpaid Labour

I'm hoping to make the opening reception, Thursday, January 22nd, or close to that, to at least capture the installation of over 100 artists. If you're in the area, let me know what you think.

On My Mind
|
Ahead, I'm looking forward to some collage shows in Seattle in May. Andrea Lewicki has called for some challenging art in her 28th mission for the Special Agent Collage Collective: Confrontage. Are you a special collage agent? This could be your chance, if you can wrap your head around the theme.
|
Another option, a call for art from the Northwest Collage Society, is looking for textured physical collage in Of a Topographical Nature. Despite being a member in recent years, I've never entered one of their shows. Given my love of texture, I'm at least going to try to find something, and I invite you to join me. Both of these calls will be on display at Slip Gallery in Belltown in May -- details to come.
|
With these plans underway, the year is starting to have a bit more definition. How has the transition to 2026 been for you? Some years are rougher than others -- if that's true for you, I do understand. I'd love to hear more, either way.
