"Overgrown" hits the shelves

If you live in the Seattle area, I'll be having an opening at Gallery4Culture (101 Prefontaine Place South) this Thursday, April 2nd, 6-8. A new set of drawings called "Overgrown." Actually, I'll be having the opening even if you don't live in the Seattle area. What I mean is, come out if you can!
On other artists... I've been digging on Shannon Eakins' and Mark Dombrosky's collaborations. The image below is one of them-- a grid of sweaters gathered, in further collaboration, with the help of Tacoma Goodwill Industries.
I especially appreciate the tactile and site specific smartness of their work. It reminds me of one of the things that art does best. As University of Washington's Ellen Dissanayake puts it: art "makes special," drawing our attention to small or large things that we might overlook in the shuffle.

This piece of yours sums up so much. Wish we lived near the west coast, it'd be great to see these new works! Hope this finds you all feeling better :)
Wish you could too! We are all feeling better, too... blast those winter bugs and bring on the sun!
