M AD H ATTE R : Have I gone Mad?

Tonight we stand in celebration and marvel of our dear friend Kathy Gerlich, our Honorary Chair, our Alice. Year after year, Kathy applies her talent and resources to the success of our auction, and the ultimate success of Pratt Fine Arts Center. Tonight we honor Kathy for her service and leadership, and we thank her deeply for continuing on these grand adventures with us. Tonight we also celebrate the generous hearts of our Honorary Committee, who have provided unparalleled assistance to our mission, time and time again. We kneel in humble gratitude before this group, our royal court for the evening. Lastly, we raise a tower of teacups to the maddest Pratter of all, Walt Riehl, our amazing Auction Chair of the past two years. Curiouser and curiouser we are as to how he does it so well. In collaboration with an incredible committee, Walt has delivered yet another signature Pratt event this year and we are all deeply grateful. This is a very important date! Thank you all for joining us! Cheers,

You are a model of generosity and dedication and you contribute to our success in so many ways. You are a champion of our mission in the community and never miss an opportunity to sing our praises. You not only attend the auction every year, but you also donate an incredible work of art, often of your own making. Your fervor for Pratt is infectious and your kindness is beyond admirable.

In Remembrance This year, we mourned the loss of two extraordinary women who touched the lives of so many people. Tonight, we honor their memories and reflect on their incredible gifts to our community. These amazing, spirited women are no longer with us, but their influence will continue to have an impact for many years to come.

Susan Balshor (1949 – 2013)

Susan Balshor held M.A. degrees in Sculpture and Philosophy. Her narrative, mixed media artwork incorporated glass, metal, clay, wood, paint and paper. For years, Susan was a fixture at Pratt, teaching mold making and kiln formed sculpture, as well as an active member of the Education Committee. She was also on staff and an instructor at Pilchuck Glass School, as well as a scholarship recipient at Pilchuck and Penland School of Crafts. She was included in Corning’s New Glass Review in 2009 and Bullseye Emerge in 2008. In addition to her love of art, Susan had a deep love of music and was an avid dancer. She co-founded the Valse Café Orchestra and started The Masquerade at Century Ballroom. Beloved by her students for her knowledge, dedication, and service to artistic vision, Susan is dearly missed.

Mary Shirley (1939 – 2013)

Mary and her husband Jon have been known for their exceptional art collection and support of arts organizations, including SAM and Pratt. Over the last twenty years, the Jon and Mary Shirley Scholarships in Glass have supported many of the finest emerging glass artists in the Pacific Northwest, to pursue their art and develop significant bodies of work in the studios of Pratt Fine Arts Center. Jon and Mary were also major contributors to the Capital Campaign which allowed Pratt to purchase its Jackson Street property; their investment remains a huge source of potential for expansion and growth.

The contributions of Susan Balshor and Mary Shirley have been truly transformational and their legacies will be carried forward at Pratt with great respect and everlasting care.

From his Basket series, the piece presents the asymmetrical forms in a stunning, blue hue. During a 1977 visit to the History Museum at the Washington State Historical Society in Tacoma, Chihuly was impressed by a presentation of Northwest Coast Indian baskets. Struck by the slumped forms the baskets had taken over time, Chihuly sought to replicate the effects of weight, gravity and time of the wavering forms in his artwork.

Beads don’t necessarily mean jewelry. Glass beads are an inspiration for any kind of art. This one allows you to choose how to enjoy it, vertical or horizontal, on the wall or independently standing; and you can gently rotate the beads to find the pattern you like. The beads in this piece were made with soft glass, red brown base bead then rolled on silver leave and then encased partially with transparent aqua. A combination that creates beautiful colors and a unique pattern on each bead.

It is beautiful and fun to work with (and melt).

This bowl showcases 3 dimensional mica handiwork that cannot be duplicated by factory mass production. It is Jane Edgley’s goal to create beautiful and useful items that are unique and unlike anything purchased from a department store. Most of her current work features multiple 3D layers of color and sparkle, contrasted with jet black glass. The root inspiration is her fondest memory of kindergarten when she made a stained glass window out of colored cellophane and black paper. Jane learned how to fuse glass at Pratt.

Jite Agbro has worked as an artist for over fourteen years. Her main medium is printmaking, though she works across a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, encaustic, textile, and metal. Known for the experimental aspects of her work, she continues to push the boundaries of works on paper by combining materials and techniques. “I have explored many themes in the intervening years but the visual impact of written language continues to be a constant in my work. Graffiti, pictographs, illuminated manuscripts all of these forms of embellished communication are a common thread in all my work.” - Jite Agbro

This piece represents the life of the forest in an imaginary sense, where color is no limitation.

As a parent of a child with autism, “Alice in Wonderland” touches deeper, for Leslie Nan Moon. It has been suggested that Lewis Carroll may have been on the autism spectrum, which would help explain the wonderful nonsense content of the story. For Leslie, watching her son navigate through the world is a little like watching Alice. Sometimes he fits, sometimes he doesn’t. Sometimes he understands what others are saying and other times it makes no sense at all. Either way, Leslie will be by his side, walking through Wonderland together.

Theresa Neinas is a storyteller, and very often draws from what she knows (or thinks she knows). She finds that part of her comes across in her imagery. This is what she believes makes her work unique. Sometimes it speaks to people, other times... not so much. Theresa says she has plenty of her own ideas swimming around in her head, so any attempt to “match one’s couch” is going to be on a back burner, unless she has to rely on potatoes for all three meals, and “then we’ll talk.”

Akiko Masker was born on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, where she learned to paint and draw at a young age. In 2005, she moved to Seattle, where she enrolled in the University of Washington’s BFA program. She is currently interested in blending traditional Japanese aesthetic values with Western art techniques. Drawn to the highly visual images of Japanese Buddhism, she explores this iconography while implementing traditional Western art techniques. She is inspired by how geometric and organic forms move in nature. Through her visual exploration she hopes to bring the abstract understanding of time, space and matter into consciousness.

Dawn P. Endean’s work explores the world as seen through the lens of scientific inquiry and to portray the poetic mystery and inherent beauty of living organisms. Her imagery combines calligraphic elements and organizing geometry with anatomical and botanical forms. Sinuous line and organic shapes describe ambiguous organisms, both real and imagined. Taken together, these disparate elements suggest the documentation of a disintegrating world. Dawn P. Endean has exhibited in Seattle at Shift Collaborative Studio, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery, the Tashiro Kaplan Gallery, the Columbia City Gallery and Click Design, as well as at the Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend.

Suze Woolf likes to paint what is not usually “art worthy.” In fair weather she roams Seattle’s industrial waterfront, attracted to the large forms of commercial vessels, the gaunt geometry of gantry cranes and the multiplicity of their irregular reflections. In this piece, fishing boats await repair at the north end of Lake Union. Selections from this body of work have been exhibited at the Port of Seattle, Sea-Tac Airport, and been selected in watercolor competitions throughout the United States and Canada.

Deidre’s love of art started many years ago as a child. Creating just for the joy of creating. It continues to this day and has evolved into functional glass art. She has found her artistic expression explode in the world of glass, bringing both beauty and functional art into everyday life.

“Do you think I’ve gone round the bend?” “I’m afraid so. You’re mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”

Kate Petty (née Fluckinger) works primarily in oil paints and encaustics, with occasional ventures in metal and clay. She has been a contributor to Pratt Fine Arts Center since 2004. In her work Kate explores concepts of transition, metamorphosis and liminality - a state that is ambiguous and somewhat unconscious. Whereas subliminal is hidden, liminal is barely perceptible. It is a state of being in-between or at the threshold of something. Sometimes boundaries between worlds are well-defined; this piece suggest a spaciousness of between, somewhat hazy or fuzzy, like the transition from dreaming to wakefulness, or darkness to light.

To take these disregarded objects and reinvent them in a contemporary and dynamic form makes them once again accessible; to help people regain the consciousness of the objects in their lives. Heather has created a line of simple and elegant jewelry composed of vintage and contemporary porcelain tableware. Using the composition on the plate, elements are cut out and carved into simple shapes. These shapes are then arranged into compositions informed not only by each element but the imagery on their surface; and are fabricated using gold and silver findings.

Jo Moniz’ current series evolved from a visual interest in the irrigation circles dotting farmlands as viewed from the air. The geometry of roads, fence lines, and circles imposed on the land are broken by natural features creating obstacles in the man-made pattern. In “Irrigation Study 1” thin hot encaustic pigment is applied to rice paper, inscribed with a loose graphite geometric pattern. The work evolves through the layering of pigment and line. Jo Moniz is a Seattle artist and architect. Her work was recently featured at SAM Gallery and Rentals as part of the 2013 New Introductions show.

This sculpture was made using the evaporative foam casting method (EVF). The original piece was created with shaped pieces of styrofoam glued together, then tightly packed in a barrel of sand. Molten bronze is poured into the foam patter, instantly vaporizing it and solidifying it. Sprues are removed and patina applied. This casting was from a series about urban stimuli.

THE COLOR TESTS THAT FINALLY WORKED

“TCTTFW” is basically one big test. It is an attempt to transfer and re-assemble the color tests and sketches from Malorie’s sketch book into one cohesive piece. With bare wood, heavy cording, pouring, drawing, drips and tool marks she was aiming for an “industrial encaustic” look. The basis of her images and colors are from her younger years in Japan and later years in Montana, falling in love with fields, orchards and gardens, and her years at the University of Washington, where she earned her MFA.

This painting was inspired by the Exvotos of Mexico, while Carol was working with Maestro Enrique Flores in Oaxaca, at a Pratt Workshop, led by Kamla Kakaria. “Exvotos” are offerings of thanks. This painting is an offering of ‘thanks’ to her hard working husband and all the men that travel for work and come home exhausted. Carol works in oil, print and encaustic, blending the mediums into timeless narrations. Storytelling is a vital element of Carol’s work. Each layer of paint must dry and be refined before the encaustic wax can be applied.

“After the excitement of the whitewater, the raft drifted into the expanse of Ruby Canyon at sunset. At first glance, the shadows on rocky walls are muted blues and purples, but closer examination reveals the details of the rock strata.” The glass beads in this piece have been acid etched to create the appearance of rocks softened and shaped by the river. Donna Prunkard is a cell biologist by day and a glass artisan at night. She instructs at Pratt Fine Arts Center and loves being part of a student’s first experience with molten glass.

251

Bull, the Quiet One is from a series of several bulls painted in 2010 - 2012. The bulls represent a distinct sensation at that the time that life, beautiful and powerful as it can be, was trying and that learning to hold on and maintain some sort of balanced equilibrium was the goal. The quiet one was drawn at the moment things shifted and the artist’s internal life quieted. It was the calm after the storm, the moment of stillness made more still and more quiet by the previous intense exertion.

Sherri is a local Seattle artist drawn to narrative. Growing up in the woods of the southeast evoked imagination beyond the immediate. Texture is the undercurrent of her work, as each form and surface creates a story of its own. Living in the Pacific Northwest since 1996 has added another layer of appreciation of nature. Exploring the dark forests and open fields with her dogs grounds and inspires her. Her three golden retrievers inspired her to create the “Three Beasts” series of kiln casted glass vessels. Capturing both the memory of the crow and canine and transforming the bone into glass is the cause. Glass illuminates the marks and etch of teeth and texture. Functioning as culinary ware, they pay homage to the first beast (the cow that the bone came from. These are made from lead-free glass and serve a variety of functions. They make great drinking vessels or gourmet salt cellars!

Boxes can be metaphors and often cliché ones at that. Do they endorse and protect, or contain and limit? Do surprises emerge from them or secrets hide in them? This is an existential dilemma for you to solve. But, sometimes a box is just a box, and these little shapes are lined up to be just what you want them to be. Artist Anne Randall has fabricated this necklace for the Pratt auction in honor of the art center’s identity as a place to make art in both literal and figurative ways.

Environment as well as societal issues and ideas influence this personal narrative. Abstracted references to natural imagery are used when they capture the feelings inherent to the experiences being explored. Born and raised in Ohio, Grisez now resides in Seattle, WA. She earned a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design where she majored in Jewelry and Light Metals. Her artwork spans from limited edition and one-of-a-kind jewelry to both small and large scale sculptures.

LARGE NEST ON ATLAS MAPS

Adele Eustis’ recent series began with drawing a robin’s nest which had fallen on the ground. While nests are marvelous and resourceful structures, their potency may lie in feelings of comfort, security, and refuge. This next ink drawing is painted with wax onto book pages from a 1950s World Atlas, which are faintly visible through the ink. It is curious how nests are timeless, knowing no borders. Adele Eustis is a Seattle artists who works in both 2 and 3D. Her work has been exhibited in the Tacoma Art Museum, Storefronts Tacoma, Winthrop Gallery and Confluence Gallery in the Methow Valley, Room 104, and Shift Collaborative Studio in Seattle.

The Tom Kundig Collection is a steel accessory line focused on intimately scaled hardware components. Each piece celebrates the moments when people become kinetically involved with the buildings and spaces they inhabit. They stand as a tribute to the beauty and pragmatism of nature, from the raw materials we use to build to the way the human body is designed to move - the rational and the poetic. This collection is a low-tech approach to hardware that provides an unpretentious yet tactile encounter with the built environment - a wink and a nod to elements that might otherwise be overly stylized or precious.

Eric Swangstu’s paintings are perceptually-based, formal meditations on found objects and portraiture. His subjects include people in his life, the occasional landscape and objects that hold personal meaning. Swangstu consistently uses classical painting methods as a means of undermining the tradition of object painting from the inside out. The resulting work is often re-contextualized through a veneer of abstract and experimental techniques. Helen Harrison, critic for the New York Times, has written of his paintings as, “an effective strategy for testing the boundary between objectivity and invention.” Swangstu participated as a member in Mel Chin’s artist collective, the GALA Committee, in the late 90’s for the project In the Name of the Place, where the artist group conducted a conceptually-based, public art project on the set of the television show, Melrose Place. Historically, this is considered the first public art project to use prime-time television as a venue. His artwork is included in the permanent collections of Government Employees Hospital Association, Kansas City, MO and the Library of Congress, Washington, DC.

Fulgencio Lazo studied under Maestro Shinzaburo Takeda at the Fine Arts School in Oaxaca, graduating in 1989.

Traditionally, in Japan, Chochin can be found hanging outside of temples, places of business, or at restaurants and festivals to tell potential customers what is being offered. Many have simple graphics or lettering with names of food (ramen), character from culture (Daruma), or simple words of wisdom (beware of fire in your house!).

3D 2004 10 x 12 x 6

ITEM

Rik Allen’s current body of work mines that rich vein between the outward mysteries of creation and the inward journeys of the human imagination. What began several years ago as an exploration of the iconic rocketship in its purest form has evolved into a contemplation of the role of individuals in our finite world, all in relation to the infinite complexity and vastness of the cosmos. We are each explorers on a journey through existence and Allen’s sculptures evoke this introspection and conveyance – spacecraft captained by lonely cartographers mapping the inky black seas between us all, organic vessel-creatures harboring spores of complex knowledge bound for undiscovered mental landscapes, or sentient mechanical emissaries propagating our viral truths through the fabric of being.
