Testing
Among our favorite regional artists is Seattle’s Jaq Chartier, whose exhibition Full Spectrum opens tonight, First Thursday, at Elizabeth Leach (417 NW 9th) for the month of July. Favorite because while the work is beautiful, subtle and melancholy in its coloration and form, the method is more beautiful. Chartier considers all of her works experiments, testing the interactions of layers of stain, paint, gels, inspired by images of DNA gel electophoresis.
