to a variety of semi-automated processes. By exposing prints to obscure chemicals and the flow of water, using simple machines to create exposures on gelatin silver paper, or twisting paper into dramatic new forms, my work becomes a physical collaboration between myself and the processes themselves. This surrender to external elements allows for the genesis of unique visual decisions which form each one of a kind piece. At the same time, my work is also saturated with deeply personal emotion

visual likenesses. The portrait paintings come from the theft of Johnson’s phone this summer when he realized he still has a very strong connection to these visual likenesses and tried to reclaim the stolen images on the phone as his. “I am trying to reconnect with family and friends on a more personal level again,” Johnson says. “This body of work has helped me to realize this need.” Johnson will showcase approximately 18 works.  The exhibition will combine drawing, painting and small sculpture

infuse life with purposeful beauty.” The kitchen inspires ideas for new pieces, a space where her work often ends up being used and held. The end result is a piece that is both beautiful and functional. Her work combines angular lines and soft volumes creating visual contrast. Schwartzkopf uses birds as a starting place, studying stance and expression. The awkward pelican and elegant, buoyant loon are references she meshes with geometric, and architectural elements. On the surfaces of her work, she

November 3, 2008 Wearing purple to raise awareness about abuse The color purple was dominating the PLU Campus last Wednesday as more than 900 students, faculty and staff wore purple T-shirts in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness month.“I just think it’s really visual and it shows the support of something,” said PLU student Melissa Coch, who organized the event as part of PLU’s Voices Against Violence.

2016-2017 academic year on sabbatical, a year which she dedicated to investigating the texts of Hermann Broch, an Austrian 20th century Modernist writer, with the explicit mission of exploring evidence of visual tropes and metaphors of seeing in Broch’s novels. Broch was born in Vienna on November 1, 1886, into a Jewish family.

SchoolsChief Leschi is one of nearly 200 tribal schools in the United States. Operated by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, it enrolls 670 students in preschool through high school.  Visual representations of Northwest Native culture and art are present throughout the school, and the curriculum is infused with the tribe’s cultural heritage.

Part of the point of the commission from the Seattle Symphony was for composers to experiment with the possibilities of the new Octave 9 space. What about Octave 9 made it a good match?

Writing for electronics provided limitless possibilities for a sound concept. It

One of the common complaints about MOOCs is that they provide for little or no
