Introduction
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Pratt Prom! Tonight we abandon all the trials and tribulations of high school and unite in support of Pratt Fine Arts Center and our shared mission to make art accessible to everyone, always and forever. We have filled this gymnasium with more than balloons and crepe paper, we have filled it with talent and beauty, with a collection of stunning works of art that dazzle like a moon river. We pledge that we are hopelessly devoted to our royal court of contributing artists, whose generosity provokes the wild thing in all of us and demands that we raise our paddles early and often. If this year were Pratt’s senior year, we would look back on it with pride, time after time, as one of tremendous growth and maturity. We are beginning to realize our full potential as a dynamic center for creative impact; Pratt is now serving more students than ever before, in ways more than words can say. And we dream on… In a moment like this, when demand for Pratt’s services is skyrocketing, your support means more than ever. Every time you raise your paddle another young person will dream a little dream, another emerging talent will gain access to simply the best facilities, and another seasoned artist will imagine something amazing. What a wonderful world of creativity you are supporting! Have a blast tonight! And feel free to spend a little more than you planned. We will be sure to put your gifts to good work right away. This I promise you. Forever yours, faithfully,
Brian Flock

About Pratt Fine Arts Center 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 as 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 almost four decades, 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 300 working artists each year. Its classes, lectures and programs reach more than 20,000 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.

Vicki Platts-Brown Squid
350
$
Life began in the ocean and millions of years later, here we are. Sea life is composed of many textures and shapes. Vicki Platts-Brown wants to render what she feels when she looks at a sea animal in her art — not a perfect representation, rather a textural representation of something beautiful. Print making allows Vicki to create texture, etching allows her to create intricate detail. Vicki has begun using various techniques to etch copper, which means the outcome is unpredictable. She was unsure with what she would end up with as Vicki etched her piece several times, burnished then re-etched, trying to give the piece shape and harmony.

She has also taught at Gage Academy, The Bellevue Arts Museum, The Tacoma Art Museum and Cancer Lifeline. Prior to her involvement in art education, she designed textiles and created print and production graphics for television.

Silent Auction 1
Cynthia likes to hopscotch through different mediums; like other artists, she is compelled — for reasons she can’t always explain — by shifting themes, images, moods, light play and forms, contrasts and juxtapositions, and all the small ironies and surprises in daily life. For Cynthia, each project is like an expedition toward a hunch that often detours and lurches about before coming to a stopping point. This image is derived from the random markings on the back wall of the industrial elevator in her Sodo studio etching with chine collé building. She shares the space with a major Seattle 23.5 x 30 bakery that is constantly moving cooling racks up from 2015 basement storage to the loading dock, where they are filled with freshly baked goods awaiting transfer to delivery trucks. Workers who move the racks in and out of the elevator slam them up again the elevator’s metal wall, leaving dense and intricate tracings of their work.

The majority of Spitzack’s work resolves itself in the form of a print. Dedicated to dissolving barriers in commitment to the communal whole, Spitzack has found printmaking to be an excellent way to express these ideas in both subject matter and process. Having pledged himself to a life of wood cutout mystery at the age of nine, he wonders how long he will 19x22 be able to hold on before becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. 2015 Charles Spitzack is represented by Davidson Galleries

It is an ongoing body of work that she is continually developing and expanding. Two separate wood blocks were used to create the image of the child — one for the colored areas and one for the black. This print was conceived and created in the Pratt Print Studio during a Moku-Hanga (wood-print) Class offered at Pratt in 2015.

ITEM
Tatyana Brown is an artist, a thinker, a romantic idealist, a pragmatic dreamer, complex but with simple needs. Inspired by Northwest nature, Tatyana is growing and evolving through her art, depicting contrasting environments in her engravings and paintings. Transformation is constant in etching Tatyana’s life and artwork as it evolves and matures. Her 9 x 11 life’s experiences and the stories passed down to her by 2014 ancestors, with their tales of hardships and survival, have shaped the way she sees. Her energy, passions, and trials mixed with Tatyana’s own experiences lead her to create a reality to escape and a fantasy depicting the pain, joy, good and evil inherent in a timeless world. She loves working in black and white, because it gives so much character to the drawing and she can focus more on what the subject is expressing, always leaving room for imagination.

Trung Pham paints wounds to depict beauty in vulnerability and brokenness. These paintings enfold the grotesque, deformed, contorted look of wounds, yet through the ruptured and punctured appearance, the beauty of their tenderness and fragility emerges. Trung’s desire is to point one’s sensitivity to the brokenness, open the viewers’ sense of compassion and understanding, and inspire them to perceive beauty in the most unexpected and unimaginable. He believes vulnerability has the power of transformation. By portraying the look of wounds, the artist reveals the hidden inner layers of one’s true self by evoking an emotional response of solidarity and empathy so that we may heal and transcend the wound.

$
Spectacularis was made at the Tacoma Museum of Glass in 2014 during the residency of a friend and fellow glass worker Greg Owen. The piece was made with the excess refuse of multiple other glass pieces made during the residency. Making trash into treasure has been a long standing tradition among Seattle glass makers and Spectacularis exemplifies this in form and process. The use of refuse not only creates a visual depth but a conceptual depth as well. By adding the final touch of bling through the “mirrorizing” process the piece gains a strong sense of importance and immediately demands attention from the viewer. From trashy to classy, Spectaularis exhibits the potential in up-cycling materials and embedding a narrative simply through the process of making.

ITEM
Angie Dixon painted in this time-honored tradition for 40 years, with exhibitions of her art in the United States, Japan and China. She has taught classes in this art form for over 30 years, and came back to teach it again at Pratt to offer what she had learned and developed in her career using Asian brush and ink. One class she offers is a contemporary sumi and mixed media workshop which takes traditional Asian painting materials, using them in a non traditional way. It allows each artist to explore his or her ideas in a way that is quite unique to each individual. Angie’s piece represents the use of sumi in non traditional contemporary language. The techniques with the brush are classic. The rest is a statement about relationships. This artwork is not recent, and it is one of the few pieces she still has that demonstrates techniques she has developed in the course of her career. Through this piece, Angie wanted to show what can be done with Asian brush and ink and what is being offered at Pratt in the workshops she teaches. www.angiedixonartist.com
Brooke Borcherding Finding Parking

2034
ITEM
Originating from Southern California and now the Pacific Northwest, Brooke Borcherding has always been inherently drawn to the things that surround her where she lives. Brooke took her easel outdoors for the first time in 2009, observing and learning from both nature and her plein air painting peers while earning a BFA from the University of Oregon in 2010. While being largely self taught in landscape painting, she deviated from the academic/theoretical art in order to fulfill her need to express what is real, what is oil everyday, and embrace the often overlooked beauty that 24 x 24 is right in front of us. Now Brooke is returning to an 2015 exploratory process of building up the landscape in an abstract manner with blocks of color. Her traditional plein air approach to painting helps give Brook a foundation to base these blocky versions on, providing her with color, composition, and understanding of the space. Her objective is to create an engaging visual scene that takes the viewer deep into space and dances between the real and the inevitable unreal of paint on a canvas.

As a painter, Denise seeks to awaken the viewer’s consciousness by shrouding her vaporous landscape inspired works with air, light, shadow, color and gestural strokes in luminous, atmospheric spaces. Her subject matter is never entirely or immediately apparent. She much prefers the imaginary and mysterious distances, contrasts of the near, far and middle visual experiences over reality in the vistas she depicts. Drawn to the natural and spiritual realms, Denise thinks of herself as a scribe capturing the delicate poetry and beauty of the four seasons. Her work was so far shown in various solo and group exhibitions and held in private and company collections globally. It is also represented in the 5th volume of International Contemporary Artists’ and Internationale Kunst Heute 2014, First Volume.

Perri Howard
Honey Stations
2,400
$
Perri Howard’s artistic expression has, since the beginning, involved the relationship between human perception and sense of place. She loves that people understand the world as a place of order, even when that order is compromised in the face of storm events, navigational lapses, and missed connections. Even when chaos presents, there is always an underlying grid, a place into which we all drop a pin, every day of our lives, to stake out a map, a direction, a sense of belonging. We gravitate towards that last known location, a point on the horizon, our nearest friend. Her paintings are multi-layered, committing real places, imaginary landscapes, and perspectival lines as one seamless whole. Honey Stations was completed during her Fulbright research in South India. She studied creative practice among women and girls, which inspired the forms, lines, colors, and patterns in this particular painting.

Wood has always been a part of Jed’s adult life, first as a framer after college, later as a building contractor and currently as a retiree with a wood shop and a lathe. His passion for turning has to compete with nearly equal passions for cooking, travel, cycling, and hiking — yet there seems to be time to do it all. Jed’s ideal vessel is a simple yet elegant form with a small opening and the thinnest walls possible, finished in a way to best express the beauty of the wood. Not all attempts result in beautiful vessels. There are many disappointments as the wood cracks or splits, or otherwise fights the process. Yet the successes make the effort worthwhile, and the challenge is always there to create a yet more elegant piece. The wood in Buckeye Beauty spent most of its life as part of a tree on the east side of Lake Union. The tree met its demise when condos were built on the site, and some of the wood made its way to Jed’s shop where its burly character finds new expression in artfully turned vessels.

Eddie Magliaro was born and raised in New Jersey, and growing up on the cusp of such huge metropolis areas such as New York City and Philadelphia had a huge influence in his life. NYC street art, Northeast underground metal and hip hop, and the skate and surf scene have also played a significant role in his life. In contrast, most of his recent work pulls from influences of rural WA state: logging trucks, fishing boats, hunters, mountain and ocean sports... For Eddie, glass as a medium is wildly unique, ranging the scale from complete representational to a perfectly round blob. Just like a city is controlled by traffic and grids, Eddie controls glass with tools. Similar to the uncontrollable growth Seattle is experiencing, the city pushing further into rural areas, he is interested in the moment of glass making where highly representational and abstract areas interact and blend into something new.

2075
Hull: vessel as vessel — sleek and simple in design, black and shiny. Paul Cunningham started this series with an idea: make a symmetrical shape, slice it down the middle when it is cool, and see where it leads. The stand is a bit of a nod to when he was a kid putting together plastic boat and car models, a way to lift the object above the surface it rests on — a fond memory. Other bodies of work he’s produced over the years have gone from the colorful and classic, to the non-traditional and specific, as far as pattern and form go. Cunningham has found stepping away from these intricacies to be quite rewarding.

Brennan Kasperzak and Ali VandeGrift are glass artists, living and working in Seattle, Washington. Ali’s background in flame working and Brennan’s background in furnace work have created a unique collaboration of these two processes. Their current body of work was inspired by changing the scale of Ali’s lampworked beads. Brennan’s expertise in forming blown glass objects gives Ali a large canvas to create an intricate pattern with the process of cane drawing. These patterns are freehanded, inspired by antique ironwork and quilting patterns. Cane drawing is rarely used to this extent, giving their work a fresh and unique look.

Junko Yamamoto explores space and memories. The space between atoms, cells, between people, objects, air, stars and sky; the cosmic glue which holds us and the universe together. She likes to push and pull, bringing other dimensions. Her process combines brush painting layers of color and shapes, with rollers that help create intentionally imprecise and suggestive lines. Brush strokes mimic calligraphy gestures she used to practice in her youth. The layering process is enhanced by her use of color and shape, suggesting textile, landscape and familiar pop culture. Her forms and strokes that reappear and disappear in all of the pieces signal cell divisions, electrons and atoms as well as consciousness and interconnectedness.

Specifically, she’s interested in the way we as human beings project ourselves and our identities into the greater public space. Her recent work incorporates dress forms and garment pieces. She uses dress forms as visual representations of non-verbal communication because clothing is a familiar instrument for unspoken exchanges. Clothing conveys self-image, aesthetics, interpersonal allegiance, and even citizenship, lineage, and social status. Each of us is deeply knowledgeable in this subtle language of presentation, and able to make lightning-quick judgments, even where our awareness of what we are judging is subconscious.

Being mindful of life’s transience helps her live more deliberately and see the beauty in each and every moment. In her work she uses iron wire that can rust and ephemeral paper to express these ideas. Her approach is very labor intensive and meditative rendering the process as important as the end product. Once a piece is finished and is let go into the world it in turn can continue connecting others with each other and often in a very meaningful way.

Eva Isaksen was born and raised in Bodø, Norway and has lived and worked in Seattle since 1986. Combining collage, printmaking and painting techniques, she creates complex multi-layered compositions to investigate nuances of nature. Material and environmental dialogue within her vision as organic forms, seasons, cycles, growth, and regeneration transforms into order, repetition, and rhythm. The canvases are filled with a series of interconnecting shapes and recurring linear designs hanging in soft quiet balance of formal elements and sophisticated color choices. Her artmaking process of print, resist, and reduction further resembles the growth and cyclic changes in nature. Isaksen’s work has been exhibited internationally and is part of public and private collections in Norway, Japan and the United States.

Sabah has been working and teaching at Pratt for more that 15 years. While most of his work is in stone, he has been casting glass here at Pratt for a year. His work is primarily with the human form, because the body is able to express an incredible range of emotion. He has always been inspired by myths and legends because they deal with complex and intense attitudes and feelings, and reveal a rich connection to the human condition. Light and translucence make glass an incredibly hard medium with which to sculpt. Stone absorbs and reflects light which makes the form occupy space. In glass however, light pierces through the sculpture and space and from blend together in a harmony. His hope is that this sculpture, Inner Peace echoes harmony.

Georgia feels a connection with the natural world. She is comfortable when animals are around, and her sculpture has always been inspired by their beauty and grace. Inspired, but not confined. She enjoys pushing shapes beyond realistic — sometimes for a whimsical effect, sometimes purely for the rhythm of the lines and her sense of aesthetics. She feels that her most successful work could be stripped of its figurative elements and the underlying form would remain beautiful. She also enjoys narration, especially as a part of public installations. She tries to engage the viewer’s imagination by presenting a moment in an incomplete story. She suggests a theme and evokes a feeling, and the viewers find themselves providing details. She grew up in rural Pennsylvania tending to farm animals and riding horses, studied art and bronze casting at Bucknell University, then came west for her MFA at the University of Washington. Her first post-graduate casting was at Pratt, before spending the next 32 years working from her studio/foundry/gallery on Whidbey Island. She has over 70 public installations throughout the country, including Rachel the Pig at Pike Place Market and the Cows, Frogs, and Turtles at University Village.

The area is made up of wooded slopes, green pastures and dusty valleys from which the Pyrenees Mountains are visible in the distance. Though extremely beautiful, the terrain is rugged and the environment can be harsh and demanding, with extremely hot temperatures in the summer, bitter cold in the winters, and strong winds, which shape the trees and the landscape itself all year around. O’Neill’s work considers our relationship to our environment not from the usual perspective of how we affect it, but how it affects us – both on a personal and societal level. People and cultures are gradually shaped by the landscape that surrounds them and O’Neill suggests, with time, the subtle influence of the mountains and the sea becomes evident in the cultural identity of the communities that form in their presence. This work explores the repetition of line and their resulting forms. The lines are carefully laid out on the glass surface and the space between them is carved deeply using high-pressure sand. The series of lines will later reveal a landscape: A curve catches the light, evolves, repeats itself and grows organically.

Cappy Thompson and Dick Weiss are good friends who have been working as glass artists for forty years. Every December for the last six years, Cappy and Dick work together at Pottery Northwest. Sometimes they paint on forms of their own making. Sometimes they decorate forms made by the resident artists. Sitting side-by-side, they paint and pass the objects back and forth. Together they decide when the piece is complete. Collaborating has been one of the great pleasures of their creative lives. Their collaborative clay has been exhibited at Traver Gallery and is currently on display at SeaTac Airport. Â

Ricardo Romero Cortez Duque’s work is focused on painting, drawing, sculpture and mixed media. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, Ricardo Romero Cortez Duque showcases intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. His paintings are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and its interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination. His works establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. Ricardo Romero Cortez Duque currently lives and works in Seattle.

Catherine Eaton Skinner’s work explores the natural world, its intricacies and energies that require a fine balance. Often using the Eastern philosophical number, 108, Skinner uses repetition of sacred forms, reiterating both the artistic and the spiritual dissolution of the self into the whole. A multidisciplinary artist, Skinner incorporates painting, encaustic, sculpture, printmaking, and photography. Exhibiting with Abmeyer + Wood Fine Art in Seattle, Waterworks Gallery in Friday Harbor, and Mill Contemporary in Santa Fe, her work is in numerous private and public collections. Skinner’s new monograph, 108, has now been released by Radius Books of Santa Fe, with 170 illustrations of her work since 2003. In 2010, her work was featured in Speak For the Trees, and in 2008 she released a book of original art titled Unleashed.

From their earliest collaborative efforts, Jenny Pohlman and Sabrina Knowles have explored the feminine fluidity, curvature, strength and plasticity inherent in glass. Their work begins with a concept, a philosophy or a desire to bring a visual quality to their experiences with each other and with people from around the globe. They design and create glass forms, design and fabricate steel mounts and armatures and adorn their work with world beads. Their inspiration comes from their own life experience, their travels and their studies of both ancient and contemporary cultures with an emphasis on women. Their intent is to create sculptural forms and assemblages that evoke the sensuous curves of the feminine, provide a narrative that embraces their common humanity, and engage their viewers in a moment of reflection. Pohlman and Knowles are the recipients of numerous honors, fellowships and residencies. Their work has been displayed in private, public and museum collections nationwide.

A second generation graduate of Tokyo’s Glass Art Institute, Shunji Omura’s work has been displayed in public and private collections around the world. During the beginning of his professional career, Shunji worked with artists such as Dale Chihuly, Benjamin Moore, Dante Marioni, Richard Royal, Richard Marquis, Dan Dailey, Lino Tagliapietra, and William Morris. A sword is a weapon used to kill people in wars. But for Shunji, a sword can also be a symbol of self-discipline and a mental way of protecting human dignity. Using these concepts, Shunji worked on making a human shape with a head made of a sword. The act of grinding glass tends to make it even more fragile and breakable; this sword represents the strength of human mentality, yet at the same time the weakness of the human body. With this piece, Shunji aims to represent the strength and weakness duality, and the symbolism of moving forward in his own life.

All That Glitters... SMG 2016 Collaboration

“All That Glitters Is Not Gold,” but the Seattle Metals Guild found an unplanned theme in the golden hues of this year’s collaborative necklace. There is some real gold: 24k gold foil (keum bo) shines on Carolina Andersson’s bead. Don’t be “fooled” by Kiraya Kestin: not pyrite, but a golden druzy sparkles from her bead. There is creative gold here as well: two beads contributed by SMG Lifetime Achievement Award honorees Virginia Causey and Micki Lippe, both of whom are also Pratt jewelry instructors. Four more Pratt teachers sent in beads: Jennifer Stenhouse, Jane Martin, Sarah Gascoigne, and Peggy Foy. A handcrafted brass bell by Monica Street adds a touch of music, and beads from newcomers Elle Grassel-Johnson and Jamie Rawding complete the piece. Strung on a sterling silver snake chain. Clockwise from top: Clasp: Sarah Gascoigne; Elle Grassel-Johnson (sterling, brass, glass); Jane Martin (sterling); Kiraya Kestin (copper, sterling); Monica Street (brass, geode); Virginia Causey (bronze); Carolina Andersson (copper, pearl); Jennifer Stenhouse (24k gold, sterling, citrine); Jamie Rawding (bronze, brass); Micki Lippe (sterling, copper); Spacers: Peggy Foy (brass, copper).

The stamped license plates from Walla Walla Penitentiary were part of a project addressing the dysfunctional salmon habitat conditions along a contained and covered Mill Creek as it passed the penitentiary and downtown Walla Walla. BOUND is also calling for a journey of restoration and poetics through mitigation of the river to a healthy system. Poems by writers of the watershed were stamped at penitentiary and placed along Mill Creek. The salmon wind vanes tendency oscillate as if swimming up stream, is restricted by BOUND and serves as a reminder to imprisoned habitats.
