Building 5 at the NW Marine Art Works welcomes resident artists. Look at what they have done and bring your proposals to fill the large space.
Ground Beneath Us is one of the residencies. This readout is from artist Kim Smith Claudel https://www.kimsmithclaudel.com/. Tahni Holt and Emma Lutz Higgins provide movement to the work Ghosts in the Void.
"During her residency at Building 5, Kim will use water and light to create large-scale analog projections, evolving pictures that are formed through choreographed movement within the water. Drawing on historical research of Northwest Marine Ironworks, this work uncovers specific mechanical projects that serve as a metaphorical blueprints for larger themes of containment: the ways in which we seek to hold and represent our natural, messy world, and shape it through our technological frameworks.
Kim searches for moments along the creative process in which gestures of physical forces (gravity / entropy / time) intersect with the ephemeral magic of being (consciousness / intuition / wordless poetry). Her work intersects painting, sculpture, and performance while using a variety of natural, discarded, and technological media—often created within limitations or rule sets.
Her exhibition further explores the ways in which we hold, contain, and ultimately attempt to control water."
