SEA OF VAPORS

Seattle based ceramicist Emily Counts creates multi-disciplinary sculptures that engage traditional craft techniques to explore identity, memory, mortality, and our relationship to nature. In this immersive installation, Sea of Vapors, Counts has masterfully staged a collective of female figures who are traveling by boat through a dream space to meet their venerated Queen.

On view in The Malone Gallery:

SOFT TOUCH

Soft Touch is an immersive, tactile survey of soft sculpture and textile art featuring over 40 artists from the Pacific Northwest and far beyond. Audiences are invited to sit, stand, or recline in a gallery cushioned by a patchwork of futon mattresses, shag carpets, and curtaining as they explore work that interweaves themes of identity, humanity, and natural ecosystems.
