Art Walk is preparing for an exciting summer season! Join us every second Thursday – July 9, August 13, and September 10 – as we celebrate local art and culture in West Seattle.
This quarter’s flyer features art by Clare Johnson. Clare is a painter, drawer, and writer whose work frequently explores the themes of memory, absence, growing up, fragmentation, nostalgia, and in-betweenness. Clare explains the inspiration behind her work in her own words:
“The fact that we can only exist in one time and place is both an ordinary truth and a tragic one. We inevitably lose loved ones, have to live away from friends, see landscapes change, wish we could relive some great day.
My work is a futile yet sincere attempt to locate and recover these lost things. It tries to let us exist again with what has slipped away, hovering between now and then.”
