Mixed media
Seattle-based artist Ko Kirk Yamahira meticulously removes individual threads from the weave of his canvases, deconstructing his paintings and turning surface into form. In this work, the artist has created two detached segments linked with loose threads by pulling out the vertical strands in the middle section of the canvas and then stretching the intact ends around separate wooden frames. Yamahira does not prescribe a fixed orientation for his pieces, making the arrangement presented here but one of many possible configurations.

Painting
Seattle-based artist Anthony White makes his “paintings” with a small machine about the size and shape of an electric toothbrush. It feeds and heats strands of colored polylactic acid (PLA), a type of plastic, in a time-intensive application process the artist compares to using a tattoo gun.
In <i>To a Flame</i>, White presents a layered commentary on how smart phones and social media saturate our lives and absorb our attention. White elevates an intimate but mundane scene of a man scrolling on his phone through the dramatic, high-contrast illumination of the figure, which recalls the European tradition of Baroque painting. With the inclusion of photo-editing icons placed over the image, the painting suggests that the viewer, too, is looking into a screen, underscoring the extent to which digital technologies mediate how we see one another and ourselves.
