Artists Peter deLory and Richard Morhous have collaborated
to produce a new series entitled "Neon Suite," which pairs architectural views in paint and pigment print. deLory's color photography and Morhous' acrylic paintings of the same scenes are paired to create bright diptychs of urban subjects. The neon subjects captured by deLory were photographed during the day, with the exception of "Noir." Morhous, inspired by these images tranforms them into night scenes with his characteristic saturated palette. The artists have neighboring studios in Seattle's Pioneer Square.

Catherine Person Gallery Hannah Alex-Glasser - Strata

Catherine Person Gallery is currently exhibiting the ceramic work of Hannah Alex-Glasser. The work is quiet and understated, with unglazed rough-textured matte surfaces. Her hand-formed sculpture is built from hundreds of layers of clay, kiln fired first and then buried in the ground and pit fired again.

Statement by artist:
Underlying my work is a feeling of deep connection with nature, whose beauty, complexity and integrity have been, for me, a constant source of centering and awe. My work is inspired by the natural environment, the lasting and archaic substances of our given world and bodies -- stone, bone, earth, wood, shell. But it is equally rooted in the symbolic realm of the inner world and of the experience of being human. I follow images as they arise from within and simultaneously respond to those presented by the outer world. Strata -- layering of earth, cells, calcium, of waves, of the effects of erosion, the layering of time, of experience, of consciousness --intermingle, co-exist, interconnect.
