   Yun Hong Chang "Broken"                                                Kim Sciarrone "12th  Street"    

Yun Hong Chang and Kim Sciarrone reflect on memory and  perception using very different materials.  Working from a private place of contemplation a viewer enters the gallery feeling a bit voyeuristic.  Yun uses her own hair combined with porcelain and fabric to create a new series of delicate multimedia sculptures .   She attempts to "visualize the fragility of memories and emotions".   Kim Sciarrone 's photographic series of urban landscapes address issues of perception and memory of place.  The indecipherable meaning of these locations is her draw. Our perception of these locations is altered in the moment.   Grown of multiple layers of light pollution from neighboring signs, tungsten streetlights, and urban haze these tones are seen only after capture on slide transparency film.

 Yun Hong Chang was born in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to Washington in 1996. She earned her bachelor of fine art degree in ceramics from University of Washington in 2005.   Seattle Artist Kim Sciarrone has exhibited at Shift, the PhotoCenter Northwest, Ouch My Eye Studios, and Mix Gallery.
