My girlfriend’s business, Post Pike, located in Capitol HIll and Georgetown, received an email from a Sarah Miller in October, sharing with us she was working on a local guide to spaces in the PNW (specifically Seattle) that show new and emerging artists’ works. This past weekend, Miller delivered a copy to me, which can be found in Post Pike Georgetown and many other venues featured in the book. Check out the instagram page for updates on these spaces, here. I got the inside scoop from Miller as well about her incredible endeavour in creating this catalogue!
I was in New York early March of 2020 in the glamorous role of Exhibitor Lounge Attendant at The Armory Show just before the pandemic became public knowledge to people in seemingly unaffected areas; this didn’t last long.
I loved standing over the pieces sent and seeing how the work had a texture I didn't expect.
Taswira Gallery in Pioneer Square, in a gorgeous exposed brick and intimate new location, recently put out a call for writers. You could either write a three-hundred word piece, or produce a 60-90 second Reel on Instagram, in response to one selected work from the recent exhibition of Cristina Martinez’s newest productions. New-ish to seattle, I visited for the first time and wrote this statement. I was not interested in making an Instagram Reel…
Clusters: a fitting word for feelings and observances mustered at For The Soul, an exhibition at Common Ground Gallery, presented by Geheim Gallery in Bellingham, WA and Lion and Lamb Art: both projects steered by Jackson O’Rourke, the latter in collaboration with Rachel Lambert. First I have to address the elephant in the room, or rather the excavated-looking, rusty, full-size auto body frame, with a neon-adorned interior, sprouting wild flowers and moss, in the center of said room.

Christopher Derek Bruno turns permanence out of the ephemeral in his exhibition, if/then/yes/and, at Greg Kucera Gallery. He crystallizes momentary sensations, like a sunset, into permanent art objects.
