Dear Friends, As we commemorate our 30th Annual Fine Art Auction we express our deep gratitude to the many artists who continue to give their time and creativity year after year – some for over 20 years – not only to our annual auction but to our Seattle community. The proceeds from each work of art that is purchased tonight goes right back into the quality programming, education, and work spaces we provide to artists at every stage in their careers. With almost 300 works of art donated by emerging and master artists alike we are proud to exhibit an incredible range of vision and variety of media: glass, jewelry, sculpture, painting, print, wood, textiles and more. This is just the beginning of what is offered and can be achieved at Pratt. Please take a moment tonight to give to FUND-A-NEED . Your gift is needed and will go directly into Pratt’s operating funds: class supplies, tools, and the myriad invaluable resources that we make available to our students and renters. Thank you to our Auction committee and co-chairs, Paulette Bufano and Walt Riehl. Their hard work is evident in every part of the event as is their love of Pratt! We would like to offer a special thank you to our Honorary Chair, Mimi Pierce for her continued generosity, support and unmatched enthusiasm for our organization. We also express a special thank you to each of you. It is your support that allows Pratt to continue filling its vital role in the art community of Seattle. Tonight is our opportunity to come together in support of The Place to Make Art, Pratt Fine Arts Center. Show us your love by bidding high!

Richard Wortley President, Board of Trustees

Norma & Leonard Klorfine Presenting Sponsors Throughout their married lives, the Klorfines have traveled extensively, always visiting museums, galleries and schools wherever they find themselves. Twenty years ago, while visiting a relative, they “discovered” Seattle and fell in love with the area. Although Philadelphia is their root system, Seattle also has allowed them to branch out and embrace another region of the country. Their collection is eclectic, with an emphasis on contemporary crafts, glass, Japanese basketry and Native American objects. If they had a “mission statement” as a couple it would read: “Everyone has an obligation to be involved in their community. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have lived in a nurturing environment. Therefore, giving back is one of the imperatives for those fortunate enough to have lived a life of love. One of the primary reasons to support art organizations like Pratt is that you get back far more than you give. Non-profit art institutions need community assistance to accommodate the decline in governmental support of the arts and art education. It does not matter what your passion is, as long as you have passion.” PAGE

Honorary Chair Mimi is not only our Auction Honorary Chair this year, but she will be matching, dollar for dollar, the first $25,000 raised during Fund-a-Need tonight.

Steve Galatro Executive Director Pratt Fine Arts Center’s Board of Trustees is pleased to officially welcome Executive Director Steve Galatro to the Pratt community tonight. With more than ten years of arts administration experience in Seattle and an MFA in Arts Leadership from Seattle University, Steve is a seasoned visual and performing arts manager. He has held operations and management positions within Seattle University’s Fine Arts Department and Seattle’s Empty Space Theatre. “I’m very excited to be joining Pratt during a time of great challenge and equally great possibility. Pratt has a solid foundation in Seattle, provides a totally unique service to the arts community, and has many, many loyal and generous supporters. I look forward to working with the board, staff and community to make Pratt more sustainable and enhance our ongoing service of the arts in our region.” – Steve Galatro When you see Steve this evening, please take a moment to introduce yourself, get to know him, and share your Pratt stories!

If you and your guest requested separate bidder numbers, you will each receive a packet listed under the individual names. If you requested a shared bidder number, you will receive a single bidder packet with two bidder cards enclosed.

The Live Auction will begin simultaneously with dinner service at 7:15 p.m., and will continue until all items have been auctioned.

Silent Auctions To bid on items in the Silent Auction, write your bid number opposite the dollar amount on the bid sheet. The amount of your bid should never be less than the incremental bid specified on the sheet. You may skip lines if you wish. In order to guarantee your purchase of a silent auction item, enter your bid number in the “Guaranteed Purchase” box. There may be only one number in the Guaranteed Purchase box. The person whose number appears in the box will immediately own the item. At the close of each Silent Auction, an auction staff person will circle the highest written bid for each item. Sheets listing successful bids by bidder number and by piece number will be posted as soon as possible. In the event of a dispute, at the discretion of the auctioneer, final oral bids will be taken from those who have already placed written bids.

To make a bid, hold up your bid card. The highest bid number acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the piece may be withdrawn and new bidding initiated at the discretion of the auctioneer.

Fund-A-Need Keep Pratt’s studios running! It’s all the little things that keep Pratt’s classes and studios operating at their best. Without ink, bronze, hammers, glass, torches, copper wire, paper or any of the other supplies and small tools we need, our studios, classes and core programs could not happen! Raise your paddle tonight at any level from $100 to $10,000, and be a vital part of Pratt’s daily operations.

What will you contribute to Pratt’s studios?

$10,000 $5,000 $2,500

$10,000 will help cover the cost of small tools for all our studios: punties, brayers, pliers, MIG and TIG welders, brushes, jacks, ladles, cutters, clamps, chisels and files. These words might be foreign to you but small tools consume more than $100,000 of our budget each year. They don’t last long and you can’t make art without them! A gift at this level will help keep Pratt’s hot shop furnace burning, allowing dozens of Seattle’s glassblowers use of our hot shop! Pratt is The Place to Make Art for so many artists. Your gift of $5000 will go a long way! Brass, copper, glass – Pratt provides students with these and so much more every quarter! Help us continue to offer affordable art classes and workshops to everyone in our community. There is no other resource like Pratt Fine Arts Center in town and your contribution at this level will have significant impact.

$1,000 $500

Will pay for one full week of hot shop glass – that covers 40 students AND 18 renters or a month’s worth of gas for the furnace! Plaster, sand, wax, investment – the Sculpture Studio, Glass Studio and Jewelry Studio all teach casting and need your support tonight. Donate at the $500 level and watch your donation help mold our future!

$250

$250 will cover a month of cleaning and inking rags in our Jewelry, Painting, Drawing and Printmaking Studios. Every donation counts tonight and it really is the little things that make a difference. We use blue rags to clear work surfaces after every class and workshop, wipe down ink from copper plates, and a variety of other little tasks that make them a hugely necessary material.

$100

Will provide the Flameworking Studio with more than 300 mandrels or Borosilicate rod and tube for a month of classes. This is an incredible gift!

Double your donation through the Pratt Challenge! Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by generous matching gifts from Mimi Pierce. The first $25,000 raised during Fund-a-Need will be matched by Mimi Pierce! Don’t miss this opportunity to make your gift to Pratt go twice as far! PAGE

A special collection of handblown martini glasses will be for sale this evening for $150. Each piece was created by a talented Pratt artist and the purchase of a martini glass includes bottomless drinks throughout the auction. Be sure to make your selection early!

Pratt Fine Arts Center began in 1976 as a tiny art facility with a big vision to build a community of artists and an educational center providing the tools and the training to support the creation of art. Today, Pratt stands exactly as its founders envisioned… The Place to Make Art! Pratt Fine Arts Center is proud to serve as a lasting tribute to Edwin T. Pratt, a man who devoted his life to improving the quality of life for all people. Mr. Pratt served Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League from 1961 to 1969. His assassination in that year by unknown assailants was deeply felt by many Seattleites who depended on Pratt’s calm leadership during a period of social upheaval. For 34 years, Pratt has been providing the Northwest community with the opportunity to experience art. Pratt’s classes teach more than 3,500 students and its studios serve more than 500 working artists each year. Its classes, exhibitions, lectures and programs reach more than 12,000 people annually. Affordable studio space with an unparalleled array of equipment provides artists of all ages and abilities with the opportunity to learn, to experiment and to create.

ITEM

Dancing Bead Chandelier

104

I started cresting glass beads when I moved to Seattle and I am a happy artist ever since. When I was looking for a creative hobby, my husband told me “follow your heart and the rest will follow.” I loved that advice and that’s what I do. I follow my heart when creating the beads and I follow my beads when creating jewelry using sterling silver or gold-filled components. I just go wherever the beads take me, so every necklace or earring ends up being a surprise and a unique creation.

107

Seattle native Moll Frothingham received her BA in Theatre from Smith College, MA. Her studies in theatrical lighting first exposed her to the evocative power of light and color on the imagination, which she continues to explore in her art.

Currently working in steel, Christopher Gerber utilizes the strengths and weaknesses of materials to explore their limits. Using industrial materials to create intimate objects, his work exhibits strong and durable, though delicate, arrangements. His passion for metalsmithing and iron-casting churns the dynamic between drastically different mediums, and has allowed him to engage industrial and processes throughout the world. Christopher received his BFA in Metalsmithing from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, has exhibited at the West Bend Art Museum, Wisconsin and Bull Pen Art Centre (UK), and served as a foundry technician at SLOSS Iron Conference, Alabama and MOSS (UK).

ITEM

Coup de Foudre II

108

“Coup de Foudre II” is the result of an exploration of the intersection of impulse and response. Pam is fascinated by the use of gesture within the framework of printmaking. Currently focussing on printmaking, she has been a calligrapher for many years. Although she works primarily in her studio on Bainbridge Island, Pam is a renter and frequent workshop participant at Pratt. She is represented by the Bainbridge Island Arts and Crafts.

111

Carolyn Gracz is a native of upstate New York who studied design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York. Her 15 years as a graphic artist is a major influence on her print work. This work is part of a series of observations of the natural world, where she finds much of her inspiration. She had been making prints at Pratt for the last six years. Pratt has played an important and supportive role in her embrace of various forms of printmaking, including monoprint and etching.

The “debatable” lighthouse of Gig Harbor is more of symbolism of time than its name suggests. Although the majority of the artist’s work is figurative, she dedicates summer to “lighthouse hunting,” to practice plein air techniques. She sees these historic manmade structures as “vanishing models of beauty among the landscape,” and takes comfort in acquainting herself with this appreciation through the dedication it takes to find and make these works on location.

ITEM

Ink on paper 2012 36’ x 24” x 1”

This original creation was devised to echo the concept of inseparable triads. Similarity is compared between the images’s monographic elements, joining to create a fable and, the artist’s methods of medium used to illustrate the unity in ink. The artist begins by silkscreening her figure drawing to a fibrous piece of handmade paper. She then uses pen and ink freehand to render a lamp, opposite the genie. Ink washes unify the work painting them specifically to create a molten effect suggesting the atmosphere of magic, where wishes may be granted in “The Power of Three.”

114

Pam Hobert has a MFA in Sculpture from the University of Arizona, and a BA and AA from the University of Washington. Hobert has exhibited sculpture nationally, has a sculpture in the Bailey Boushay House, and most recently has shown prints juried into a National Print Show curated by Pamela A. Morris of Portland’s Augen Gallery. “In between working with more abstract images, I am “visited” by wolves. They appear in dreams, print and in life. What do they want? What matters most is that I acknowledge them. When I do, they keep coming.”

Gwen Kearns is a local printmaker who received a BA in Studio Art from the University of Washington in 2003. She currently prints at the Kirkland Arts Center and has been exhibiting in and around Seattle for over 5 years. She constantly seeks out new styles and mediums in the world of printmaking to further expand her education and technique. “My artwork is inspired by nature, growth, movement and organic material. As a printmaker, I create many textures using a variety of mediums and techniques which include: monotype, collograph, collage, encaustic, lithography, and direct printing. My work represents life in many different forms, however while the images may be recognizable, they are not designed to depict true reality. It is my intent to maintain the appeal of abstract art and to leave each piece up to the viewer’s interpretation.”

“Ring of Fire” is a three piece jewelry set, taking its inspiration from the Cascade volcanoes that define our geography in the Pacific Northwest. Ripples and undercurrents throughout the handcrafted glass echo the platform of molten lava that gave rise to the mountains that surround us. Marja Hutha is the proprietor of Glass Elements.

Carol Lelivelt has been printmaking at the Kirkland Art Center for 5 years. Layering organic shapes with detailed line work add dimensions to her designs. Prior to discovering printmaking, Carol was employed by Eddie Bauer and Nordstrom as a textile artist. She has also designed for Pacific Trail, Taylor Made and Ralph Lauren Polo.

122

Printmaking invigorates the dialogue I seek with composition. I respect a stroke of black, value what is left in as well as what is left out, and I pursue the union of beauty and emotion. Represented by Fetherson Gallery, Lewis also exhibits at SAM Rental Gallery and Bainbridge Island Arts and Crafts.

”Thank G-d for motorcycles!”

Not a phrase you typically hear coming out of the mouth of a rabbi. That’s exactly what ours said 14 years ago when she officiated my wedding ceremony. My husband and I met racing motorcycles and it’s been a wild ride ever since. Over the years I’ve combined my love of art with our passion for motorcycles. This most recent linocut “Panhead” is my husband’s favorite print to date.

As a city dweller experiencing the built environment, Otto Greule find the unfolding of modern urban design a fascinating process. As a photographer, no subject matter is more compelling to him than that of structure. He is inherently drawn to the design elements of line, shape, form, texture, surface, mass, and transparency. Bringing visual order to these elements to create a cogent photographic document is fundamental, but would be incomplete without aptly using light to expressively reveal their qualities, add insight to perception, and make the photograph come alive.

Glass and bronze are two materials with which I enjoy working. Bronze: solid, defining shape and form. Glass: fluid bending and reflecting light. I began working with glass over 25 years ago, started with stained glass, then after moving to Seattle, I learned how to blow and cast glass by taking classes at Pratt. Ten years ago I started working in bronze, both cast and fabricated. Now I combine the two mediums, glass and bronze. Currently I teach the Advanced Bronze class at Pratt

Daniel L. Cook, a biophysics professor, has had a long term relationship with Pratt as a student and as a past board member and board president. Primarily a figurative and graphics artist, Dan has recently turned to 3d work has found the transparency and solidity, and immediacy of casting glass, to be an ideal expressive medium. His recent pieces are based on a single facial form, initially sculpted in clay, which appears in both positive and negative impressions. Interlaced color elements in these forms play to layered themes of psychological opacity, reflectivity, and revelation.

Catherine’s diptych-styled etching imagines an imprint memorable women leave on one’s life, with playfulness from a young child’s viewpoint looking up in awe of beauty and stature. Influenced by Andre Marty’s vintage fashion sketches and by the contemporary writings of neuroscientist, Steven Oinker, Catherine’s art suggests nostalgic memories are often altered by one’s subconscious longings. An etcher and printmaker, Catherine attended University of Texas Dallas, with art studies at Pratt, Kirkland Arts Center, and with Seattle painted Julia Hensley. Catherine’s works are exhibited locally in Twilight Collective, Ghost Gallery, KAC, UpFront Gallery, and Gallery Wine and Art.

”I am a third generation artist – born and educated in England, I now live on the Eastside of Seattle. I gained qualifications in the arts, and then went on to study Civil Engineering. In recent years I have discovered my true passion for painting abstraction. I am driven by the process. Mark making is my protagonist. The application of the paint. The texture. The surface, Thick to thin. Line. Hard edge. Dry brush. Pallet knife. Scraping and scratching. Raw. Awkward. Controlled chaos. Gesture. Tension. Contrast and contradiction. I surrender to the rules of chance and natural intuition during my evolutionary process of self discovery.”

Joan Mamelok works spontaneously with line, rounded shapes and color. She is particularly drawn to the simultaneous feeling of what is microscopic and cosmic. Mamelok feels the tiniest part of herself as a reflection of the overwhelmingness of the universe.

It feels like a puzzle that keeps changing and thereby keeps her engaged.

”Glass is an amazing material. It has the ability to appear both hard and soft, it is strong and fragile, it can be opaque and transparent, colored and clear, and can appear static and fluid. Working with glass, particularly in its molten state, for me, is a fascinating thing. It can be physically exhausting, hot, frustrating, hard work that demands a lot of focus. When I am in the studio, I feel up to the challenge. My worries from everyday life disappear. When I have been out of the shop for long stretches I do not feel right.

Suze Woolf likes to paint what is ubiquitous and rarely noticed. One preoccupation is utility pole numbers. Their anonymous identifications convey location and inventory but are unmemorable. Rural poles have layered generations of numbers as well as milagro-like inspection tags. Varying in form, people from around the world have submitted numbering examples for her use. She abstracts away the landscape by sloshing, pouring and spattering paint. Each painting uses primary color variants which, if thoroughly mixed, would be a pole-like gray. But watercolor’s glory is how the paint mixes itself. An abstract, random flow contrasts with tightly rendered numbers.

”I read a review of an artist’s work a while back that noted, appreciatively, “evidence of the hand on the work.” It’s that evidence of the hand on the work that intrigues and inspires me. It gives voice to my love of nature, particularly urban nature, scrappy and indomitable energy, such a crucial part of everything we call home. I am inspired by a direct experience of art-making which can be seen in line and shadow, edges smoothed or worn away, layers of color and texture and story. To make these pieces, I’ve used natural plant dyes on rice paper, recycled materials, thread as line, sumi ink and encaustic beeswax.”

Robert Burch spent his childhood in Atlanta, Georgia. At age 10 he moved to Tokyo, Japan for 3 years, then back to the same house in Atlanta. High school education tossed him around the country from Gainesville, Georgia to Carbondale, Colorado. While in Carbondale his passions ignited with the use of the art facilities; taking a special interest in glass blowing, while still silversmithing, painting, drawing and shooting photos. In early high school years he had photos in the Aspen Art Museum, Gainesville Art Museum, and earned special recognition in the school art shows. His final year of high school consisted of a month long senior project. This project took Robert across the state of Colorado to work with Commercial Photographer Tyler Stableford, Glassblowers Donna Gordon, John Hudnut, Matt Baricevic, and Dave Powers. After graduation, he moved back to Atlanta and began work at Duckbill Studios under the skillful eye of Tadashi Torii. After two great years of working for Tadashi, his path took him away from Duckbill Studios. He has taught classes in Carbondale, Atlanta, and at Georgia Southwestern State University. After showing widely across the state of Georgia and Colorado, Robert found himself at the mecca for glass blowing, Seattle. He has been furthering his education and 3-D vocabulary at Pilchuck Glass School and observing the abundance of talent in the Seattle area.

The gestures and dynamics are ones that have always captivated me. The rhythms of walking the beach and gazing on the traveling surface of the Strait of Juan de Fuca meeting Puget Sound translated into a strong horizontal drag and vertical pull of inked and painted strokes. In France it was a small rolling hill behind my studio, about to break like a wave at my window. In all of my work the interplay of gesture and fixed observations in time are important.

A former Pratt student, Jennifer likes to mix media with all the ease of walking from the warm shop to the jewelry studio. This time she has taken silverwire, gold-filled wire, and glass buttons to create “the old” from “the new.” Her flowery neckpiece combines newly-made dichroic glass buttons from vintage button molds in the Czech Republic with intricately woven, sterling silver, free-form bobbin lace foliage supported on a gold-filled wire armature. The almost lost art of bobbin lace weaving dates back to the 16th century – weavings were sometimes made with silver and gold threads, but not in sterling silver wire! “Antiquated” is about taking new materials to recreate the art of yesteryear.

”As long as I remember I was into art. I studied and practiced drawing, painting and jewelry and for years I kept it on a small (yet consistent) fire as a hobby. I was drawn as magnet to the glass material and immediately fell in love with it. I’m fascinated by glass because I find it a manifold material. It’s a daily life casual material yet has the ability of becoming delicate, refined and elegant and can be played with in an infinite possibilities. Glass has a sense of vitality. It’s a living material evolving all the time that comes from nature and can merge back in to it. Glass beads are like people for me. They have movement inside them, look awake, moving, bubbling, winking, and restlessly jumping. There is no stability or fixation about them and each one is a bit different and has its own personality. Glass has an honorable part in the history of jewels and art objects and has had a peculiar role in the Mediterranean culture. For me it’s a challenge to make my own mark and be a part of this ongoing way of preening.”

My interest in the graphical representation of text, for example in illuminated manuscripts, graphic design and graffiti, stems in part from my struggling with written language as a child.”

Mark Rediske earned his MA in painting from St. Cloud State in Minnesota in 1985. His muted palette reveals increasingly abstracted and gestural imagery in a series of timelessly elegant works. Rediske is interested in the malleable and transparent qualities of wax that he uses to create meticulously layered works in oil pastel and encaustic. Building up color and wax allows for a constructive and destructive process as Rediske abstracts the picture plane by drawing on and scratching away the surface of each piece. Mark Rediske was selected by the Seattle Art Dealers Association (SADA) to be a part of the Century 21 exhibit at the Wright Exhibition Space in Seattle. He is represented by Foster White Gallery in Seattle.

”Urban Garden” is an original woodblock print by Seattle artist Ginny Ruffner made with master printer Sheila Coppola at Sidereal Press in Tukwila, Washington in 2011. Urban Garden references and was inspired by one of Ginny’s preliminary drawings made for her proposal to the ownership group of the Sheraton Seattle Hotel for a 27’ tall kinetic sculpture at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Union Street in downtown Seattle. Working from Ginny’s drawings, eight different color blocks were carved by Ms. Coppola to make the limited edition on a Vandercook No. 4 proof press, using Magnani Pescia paper. Four of the eight woodblocks were printed utilizing additional hand work processes. The custom colors used in the woodblock print were mixed to the artist’s specifications. The Urban Garden sculpture was commissioned in 2004 and after a seven year process, it was fabricated, installed and finally dedicated on July 21, 2011.

Marina has been working for herself as an artist since 2005. She shunned the artist’s life she saw as hard and full of struggle. However, she has always created things and given them away. With encouragement from her father, she pursued a career as a jewelry artist. She has found it gratifying to portray images of embroidery, and sets them under resin. She makes her own silver pieces to fit each design. A lot but not all imagery comes from a background in tattooing. “It is difficult to stay within the boundaries of traditional jewelry making techniques when I have knowledge of so many techniques from so many mediums,” says Marina. “Real enjoyment comes from the figuring out how to make my designs go from drawings on paper to reality. Learning has always inspired me and keeps me exploring different mediums. That way I’m always interested in what I’m doing.” – Marina Marioni, “Craft in America”.

Born in 1982, Raven Skyriver started blowing glass in high school at the age of sixteen. Raven’s mentor, Lark Dalton, taught him how to build glass blowing equipment and trained him in Venetian technique; this enabled Raven to build his own workshop.

Since William Morris’s retirement, Raven has continued to focus in the area of sculpture. His depiction of marine life is inspired by his island upbringing and informed by the creatures that inhabit this fragile ecosystem. He is represented in Seattle by Stonington Gallery.

Born in 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, Dale Chihuly was introduced to glass while studying interior design at the University of Washington. After graduating in 1965, Chihuly enrolled in the first glass program in the country, at the University of Wisconsin. He continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he later established the glass program and taught for more than a decade. In 1968, after receiving a Fulbright Fellowship, he went to work at the Venini glass factory in Venice. There he observed the team approach to blowing glass, which is critical to the way he works today. In 1971, Chihuly cofounded Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State. With this international glass center, Chihuly has led the avant-garde in the development of glass as a fine art. His work is included in more than 200 hundred museum collections worldwide.

His most recent work delves into the realm of the material itself and its physical possibilities. Glass is a material commonly associated with fragility, but Paul Marioni’s kinetic pieces are meant to be touched, rocking back and forth, allowing light to be captured and transmitted in various ways.
