The exhibit at Cullom Gallery was titled, ukiyo-e: pictures of the floating world, in a reference to the original pictures of the floating, or fleeting, world that were Japanese woodblock prints of the 18th and 19th centuries. You can read more about the exhibit here, here, and here.
Recently, Binky is hard at work on a new suite of single drawings, which we hope will be ready for exhibit at Cullom Gallery in late 2012. The artist's new body of work continues her close observation and meditation on natural phenomena, this time looking at the transcendent properties of light. I have been watching her progress with great excitement; the suite is perhaps her best work to date!
Finally, on what is a windy and rainy day here in Seattle, I couldn't resist including this short study for one of Binky's video projects in progress. Title is Seeing the Wind. Please stop by the gallery to see more by this talented artist.
