Jim Kazanjian

  The Portland-based photographer Jim Kazanjian captivates viewers with the scenery in his pieces. Words from the artist " I am interested in a kind of ‘entropic’ image an image that has the capacity to de-familiarize itself. My current work is an attempt to unravel the photograph and play with established notions of time and space, notwithstanding our understanding of what gives things context. Through fragmentation and re-composition of the photographic space, the non-linear nature of reading the image is folded in on itself. The structure of the photograph is unwound and reshuffled. This reshaping is an iterative process that spurs a generation of something altogether different; something ineffable."

Christian Rex Van Minnen

Christian Van Minnen is an artist based out of Settle. A quote from the artist "In my work, whether stone and oil, metal and wood, or cardboard and papier-mache alchemy and automatism are linked together in the cognitive creative process. Intention becomes line, line becomes shape, shape becomes form, and form becomes content. In my work I find myself either suppressing or indulging of my own desire to associate personal narrative to the raw visual information inherent in the material and process. Construction, destruction and reconstruction are symbiotic elements in the creative process allowing the image to fluctuate between abstraction and representation, truth and illusion, personal and archetypal."
