I have been watching her progress with great excitement the suite is perhaps her best work to date!įinally, on what is a windy and rainy day here in Seattle, I couldn't resist including this short study for one of Binky's video projects in progress. The artist's new body of work continues her close observation and meditation on natural phenomena, this time looking at the transcendent properties of light. Recently, Binky is hard at work on a new suite of single drawings, which we hope will be ready for exhibit at Cullom Gallery in late 2012. You can read more about the exhibit here, here, and here. The exhibit at Cullom Gallery was titled, ukiyo-e: pictures of the floating world, in a reference to the original pictures of the floating, or fleeting, world that were Japanese woodblock prints of the 18th and 19th centuries. If you missed them then, here are a few images of the artist's beautiful meditations on the ephemeral nature of clouds.īinky Walker. ![]() When I showed Binky's ethereal drawings of clouds in 2009, the gallery was still new as was this blog. ![]() More on each show to come in the following days and weeks.Ī nice section of an interview with Cullom Gallery artist Binky Walker in Charles Mudede's article today in The Stranger, The Cloud Appreciation Society. Openings are on the first Thursday of each month from 6 to 8 pm. The shape of the image was intended to represent the intentions of the exhibit series: a texture of drawn hatching marks, and a five sided form representing the five of us involved - one gallerist, three curators, and one baby-to-be.Īll HATCHINGS shows will be up on Cullom Gallery's website. And as the exhibit release describes, these three diverse shows also "explore personal, artistic, and textural hatchings and cross hatchings."Ĭurator of the April HATCHINGS exhibit, Robert Hardgrave, designed the sumi ink design below to illustrate the series postcard and poster. They have embraced the concept of these exhibits and really run with it, allowing me time and space to hatch in other ways. I am deeply grateful for the commitment these talented artists and curators have given me. The rest would be whatever they came up with.įor me the process of "hatching" this series of exhibits has been another positive reminder of the 'letting go' refrain that is such a part of preparing for parenting. I stressed that my only curation in the project was the selection of the three of them. Though at its heart, Cullom Gallery looks at the connection between Japan and the West through traditions of paper arts, there was no requirement that these curators connect to any part of that narrative. In what we are calling the HATCHINGS series, I have invited these artists to each curate a show of works on or of paper, and in crafting their shows, lead with their own knowledge, interests, and connections. ![]() In preparation for a few months off with our new baby, who is expected in early April, I have turned over Cullom Gallery's curatorial work to three Seattle artists who I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the past few years.
