Kristin Tollefson
Kristin is a sculptor who also installs art work, does
public works, and performances. She is
trained as a metal smith and does a lot of wire work in her sculptures. She incorporates many techniques along the
way.
I find her sculpture work really beautiful and
detailed. I find her works very
intricate, sweet, yet stellar. Her metal work is mostly inspired by
nature.
She has a shy side, but when she is performing it gives her
opportunity to show the other sides of her personality. Art gives her an outlet to express herself in
many ways.
First Thursday Art Walk
Float
Britland Tracy
One of my two favorite works of art was a photograph created
by Britland Tracy. Her picture called
“Float” was well-balanced and appeared unfocused. This picture included people in a swimming
pool with only one facing upward while the others faced down. This figure floating face up is of a woman
who is in the forefront and she appears to be free and floating. The other figures present a lesser image of
being free, almost as if they are swimming and not floating. As I
reviewed her gallery, I preferred the photo that we saw on our art walk more so
than the others shown in this collection on her website. You can view these photos and learn more
about what Britland was trying to capture at the following address.
Marne Cohen-Vance
I observed three works
altogether created by Marne Cohen-Vance – Section, Still-life I, and Still-life
II. I enjoyed all three of these pieces
that incorporated fabric, sewing, and the human anatomy. As an artist she also works for the Pacific
Northwest Ballet where she works as a costume designer which I found intriguing
especially because of my dance background.
