Present Tense
Two works from Karin’s Beneath the Surface series are included in a juried exhibition at Schack Art Center in Everett, Washington. The exhibition highlights practices that are shaping the landscape of visual arts in the Pacific Northwest. A public reception for the artists will be held Thursday June 4 from 5 – 8 PM. and runs through August 22.
The work in this series explores organic patterns, rhythms, and geometries evoking the vitality, growth, and interconnectedness. Each piece features a link via QR code to a whimsical video that brings the painting collage to life, permanently changing the way the static paintings are perceived by the viewer.
