Adds Donna
Half/Dozen

Through the use of images, small objects, sound, and display methods, Adds Donna attempts to delineate an otherwise indistinguishable space – a cognitive place. Their collective dynamic works as a gauntlet filtration system, allowing individual works to infect each other.

The Great Northwest

417 NW 9th
The seed of The Great Northwest, Matt McCormick’s…is a scrapbook, created in 1958 by four friends, and found by McCormick in a thrift shop. This scrapbook details a 3400 mile road trip undertaken by Sissie, Berta, Klarus, and Bev, a group of thirty-something-year-old single women from Ballard, WA. McCormick himself recreated their trip, attempting to pinpoint and visit all the locations documented in their meticulous travel journal.
soft edge
Josh Smith
PNCA, Manuel Izquierdo Sculpture Gallery
825 NW 13th Ave
soft edge is the manifestation of Smith’s continued interest in modernism, particularly in how its early philosophies regarding hive and colony structures effect and parallel our current social condition. Through a studio process that mimics Rauschenberg’s “combines”, trusted materials and processes are employed to create unstable structures and images. These objects call into question material and formal hierarchies while maintaining a staunch dedication to the language of making.
