1 Sarah Parent
Red
Red ceramic platter with a crystalline glaze • 2012 • 18" x 3"
Seattle artist Sarah Parent is captivated by the possibilities of
pottery. Parent is motivated to look for new and more refined
ways to capture the variability of clay, glaze and fire. Choosing
the metamorphosis that occurs with a crystalline glaze and how
the crystals paint the final piece by adding their own unexpected
finish keeps her intrigued. Red is made with a crystalline glaze.
Crystalline glazes are created with a combination of zinc and
silica, which form crystals when the glaze is molten at between
1,800 and 2,250 degrees F for many hours. They are unique,
unpredictable, difficult to achieve and the finished piece is
striking. Her work has been shown in local galleries throughout
Washington and as part of the recent exhibitions for NCECA
(National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts).

3 Paul Villinski
Memo: Night
Aluminum (found cans), wire, soot, brass • 2012 • Butterflies approximately
1" x 1" to 3" x 3", installation variable
With a concern for environmental issues, New York artist Paul Villinski
frequently re-purposes discarded materials, effecting surprising and
poetic transformations; in this case, “metamorphosing littered beer cans
from the streets of New York into flocks of butterflies mirrors the act of
transformation and rebirth that butterflies symbolize across all cultures.
How can these ridiculously delicate creatures, apparently blown
about by the merest breath of wind, actually fly many thousands of
miles to migrate?” In BAM’s recent Making Mends exhibition, Villinski’s
Diaspora installation of birds made from LP records was one of the
show’s highlights. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions
nationally, recently at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York and
an international Biennial in New Orleans. Widely collected, he has been
awarded a National Endowment for the Arts grant. He is represented in
New York by Morgan Lehman Gallery.

5 Michael Dickter
A Question of Balance
Oil on canvas • 2012 • 30" x 30"
Michael Dickter is interested in “creating a permanent record
of the duality of permanence and impermanence all around us.
Through the act of painting, my work engages the natural world.
Images of birds talk to me of connection, of beauty, of freedom
and the precious nature of our world.” Previously his work dealt
with issues of memory and home, stability and freedom, personal
history and communication, but an encounter with mortality
refocused his work. Now beauty and fragility, the fleeting
impermanence yet profound magnificence of life informs his work.
He is fascinated with making marks on a canvas. The process, the
decisions and the joy of paint on a built-up surface are essential to
him. Dickter’s work has been featured nationally and is exhibited in
many private and local collections including Swedish Hospital and Seattle University. He is represented by local
and national galleries.

a moment — sweet and enticing — yet, with decay and collapse
looming right around the corner. While maintaining an ongoing
studio practice for 14 years, Staschke has taught at Emily Carr,
Alfred University and New York University. His work has been shown

Hand-sewn cotton, felt, organza (skull, newspaper, cards);
Machine-sewn cotton (lined paper); Acrylic on wooden spools

Lauren DiCioccio investigates the beauty of ubiquitous
objects of our day-to-day life that face impending
obsolescence. She sews life-size replicas of water bottles,
newspapers and film canisters, each eerily and wryly
complete with labels and brands. Recreating these items
in the language of tedious handcraft and placing them in
the context of a traditional still life simultaneously celebrates
“the everyday” while lamenting its transience. At Bellevue
Arts Museum in 2011, DiCioccio’s Still Life and water bottle sculptures were featured in The Mysterious Content
of Softness exhibition. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, DiCioccio has been an Artist-in-Residence at

15 Davide Salvadore
COCOE–Studio Edition
Blown and carved glass, metal stand • 2012 • 16 1/2" x 11" x 4"
Davide Salvadore’s new Studio Edition pieces demonstrate the intense
color palettes, intricate patterning and richly carved surfaces for which he is
known. Like his signature larger works, this miniature COCOE is inspired by the
colors, textures and forms of Africa, as well as a deep respect for Muranese
glassmaking tradition. Salvadore is a Muranese maestro descended from
generations of glassworkers. He has collaborated with venerated glass houses
such as Venini, Barovier & Toso, Nason & Moretti and La Murrina. He creates
passionately expressive one-of-a-kind sculptures that push the boundaries
of centuries-old traditions. He combines traditional Italian techniques and
elements in innovative ways, which reflect diverse influences such as African
tribal imagery, Muranese roads and the smokestacks of glasshouses.
Of his work, Salvadore states, “I encourage my audience to have a real encounter
with each piece. I want them to touch it, to caress it, and to understand the shapes
and movements. Simply, I want the enthusiast to experience what I feel for my art, which is passion and love.”

Off-hand sculpted glass, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and beads • 2012 • 52" x 4" x 7"
Sabrina Knowles’ and Jenny Pohlman’s collaboration spans two decades. As seekers, they
have undertaken six international two-month journeys to developing nations absorbing
religious beliefs, political histories, current affairs, architecture, social structure and people’s
personal stories. They eventually morph their experiences into sculptural stories, sharing what
they have learned about healing, self-empowerment, compassion, strength, grace and
the power of the human spirit. Their intention is to create works that speak of our common
humanity. Staffs have always held symbolic meaning to those who employ them. For the
artists, the hand staff is symbolic of nurturing support and compassion.
Knowles’ and Pohlman’s work has been showcased in exhibitions nationwide and has
received numerous awards. Their work has been published in Glass, Metalsmith, New Glass
Review and The Seattle Times and in several books on glass art, and also featured in and on

Betsy Eby
Love Song Vanishing into the Sound of Crickets
Encaustic on canvas on panel • 2001 • 30" x 48"
Rhythm, balance, lyricism and tone in Betsy Eby’s paintings
are influenced by her lifelong devotion to music. Her
paintings are informed by the natural world, drawing on
forms found on both microscopic and macroscopic scales.
Her calligraphic compositions draw on the movement of
living things and visual forms echoed throughout nature. Her
works utilize abstraction and elemental reduction to portray
essence and movement, rather than relying solely on observation or pure abstraction.
Eby works in encaustic, a medium dating back to the 4th Century BCE and written about in the works of Roman
scholar Pliny the Elder. Her paintings are created of pigmented beeswax, in a complex process of layering and
torching, with various methods of paint application. She works within the context of the physical dimension of
the wax and the way it obfuscates color, all the while building to a finished sculptural surface which glistens like
poured resin. Her work can be found in private and public collections and galleries throughout the United States.
She is represented locally by Winston Wachter Gallery.

Dale Chihuly
Tabac Basket with Drawing Shard and Oxblood Body Wrap
Glass • 2008 • 10" x 14" x 12"
“In the summer of 1977, I was visiting the Tacoma Historical Society with
Italo Scanga, and I remember being struck by a pile of Northwest Coast
Indian baskets that were stacked one inside another. They were dented
and misshapen, wonderful forms. I don’t really know what made
me want to reproduce them in glass, but that was my mission for the
summer. Shortly after I started blowing the baskets, I found that I could
use the heat of the fire to form the basket shapes. I wanted them to look
very natural — collapsing and bending under their own weight. I soon
learned that centrifugal force was another natural tool in the formation
of the baskets. Fire, gravity, centrifugal force and human breath became my primary tools.” – Dale Chihuly
Dale Chihuly co-founded Pilchuck Glass School and has led the avant-garde in the development of glass as
a fine art. His work is included in over 200 museum collections worldwide. He has been the recipient of many

Hand-blown colored glass with spiraling black canes and blue raised canes •
2007 • 15 3/4" x 10 1/2" x 10 1/4"
One of the world’s most eminent living glass artists, Lino Tagliapietra was
born on the island of the centuries-old center for Venetian glassmaking,
Murano. At the age of 11, he was apprenticed to the glass studio of the
internationally known Muranese master, Archimede Seguso, and achieved
the rank of maestro by age 21. He later worked as master glassblower
and designer at other glass studios, including Galliano Ferro, Venini, La
Murrina and Effetre International. For the past three decades, Tagliapietra
has generously shared his unsurpassed experience, understanding and
knowledge of traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques with glass artists
and audiences around the world. He has been largely responsible for a
new renaissance in glassblowing that has swept through the world of studio
glassmaking. It is not exaggerating to say that he has affected the course of glass history and helped raise the
international standards of glass craftsmanship.
Tagliapietra has always been fascinated with how reflections of light can lead to the over-expression of color of
inner and outer canes. This play of light seems to be something organic, something alive, which is exactly what
he imagines Borneo to be like.

The Dream
Archival pigment print • Edition 1 of 8 • 32" x 43" framed
Seattle-based Canadian artist Jennifer Zwick creates
unusual and lovely photographs of adventurous young
girls. Her constructed-narrative photographs are nonlinear
short stories. They focus on curiously adventurous young
girls populating beautiful but uneasy worlds. To create
these images, she draws from childhood fantasies and
memories and then constructs life-sized environments.
By pushing these scenarios to an extreme conclusion the
girls become metaphors for our hyper-real childhood
selves where remembered emotions become stronger
through time.
The Dream captures the times when one drifts off to sleep and the shadows and wall patterns converge to
suggest other moments in other places. A young girl, falling asleep, has the fleeting impression that her room
has merged with a forest — and this impression lingers slightly longer than she would like.

Larry Calkins
Mood Indigo
Cloth wax, metal, indigo dye • 2012 • 5'
Larry Calkins describes this artwork as “loosely based on pioneering women,
mourning wear and ghosts of all my ancestors, friends and neighbors who
went before me.” Calkins is a self-taught artist living in the foothills of the
Cascade Range in Washington. Experimenting freely with painting, sculpture,
photography and assembling books, his art defies easy labels. He is equally
adept at sewing odd clothing pieces, painting animal transformation and
welding or building boxes. Recent book pieces combine drawing, poetry,
photographs and objects that are combined in assemblage. Another series
of sculpture pieces has taken the form of flattened clothing pieces sewn
with strange dimensions and surfaces infused with earth pigments, dyes or
wax. These evolved from recreating childhood memories. Years working in
photo labs as a printer has given him the ability to alter his images or rework
found photographs often incorporated in his books. Calkins’ work has been
exhibited nationally, with his most recent show Rule of Thumb at the G.
Gibson Gallery, Seattle in 2011.

35 Anna Skibska
Architectomic
Glass • 2012 • 20" x 20" x 13"
Anna Skibska is an internationally acclaimed artist
working primarily in glass. She is perhaps best known
for her enormous and impossibly fragile glass objects.
Immense webs composed of tiny glass strands are even
more amazing because they replicate massive and
heavy architectural elements. Objects and events in her
surroundings, such as a fireworks explosion, clouds or stars,
are portrayed in gossamer webs of glass.
Skibska is the originator of this technique, which several
other Polish women artists have adopted. Their work
shares the common characteristic of being crafted from
clear or colored glass melted at the torch and drawn into tiny, irregular strands. These strands are then welded
into a much larger whole using a simple hand-held jeweler’s torch. The sculptures are larger than human scale
and are incredibly intricate, fragile and ephemeral. She is a longtime Seattle resident and a graduate of the
Arts Academy in Wroclaw, Poland.

of Contemporary Art, Kiasma in Helsinki; the Museum of Arts and
Design in New York; the Centro de Arte Contemporaneo de Málaga;
