In On Love, Yun Hong Chang presents series of delicate multimedia sculptures created with procelain, hair, fabric and string to visualize the fragility and vulnerability of love and loss.
Yun Hong Chang was born in Seoul, South Korea and she earned her bachelor of fine art degree in ceramics from the University of Washington in 2005. Using porcelain and often her own hair, artist creates delicate sculptures to explore the fragility of her innermost thoughts and memories.
Bailey Russel presents new work inspired by Seattle's skyline that is sprinkled with reminders of its industrial past in the shape of lettered, decaying signs. These words, divorced from their original context, depicted negative and backwards by the obsolete process of a camera obscura, take on a new meaning as icons of a lost age, touching back to the early years of photography and the Hollywood images of Ed Ruscha.
Bailey Russel has shown in Seattle and New York, at the SAM Galley, Monarch Contemporary, Ouch My Eye, Gallery Giano, Sarah Bowen Gallery and other spaces. He has been a member of Shift for two years.
