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.
