From Darkness: Light

Gunderson pulls visual tactility from pure black

Zane Fischer
Homer was the first to invoke the image of a “wine dark sea” in the Iliad as a physical reflection of Achilles’ grief at the death of Patroclus, but the phrase throbs against the skull when considering the paintings of Karen Gunderson.

Local, If Not Lucid

A home-brewed smorgasbord

Zane Fischer
Every year, SFR declares fall the season for locals but, every year, it comes as a bit of a surprise. At the end of each international über-art summer, the local scene wakes up and takes the town back. The burst of local energy, especially in the orbit of big events such the High Mayhem Emerging Arts Festival, is always gratifying, even if the work falls flat as often as it succeeds.

Sculptural Sounds

Static, seen and heard

Patricia Sauthoff
Atmospheric Diver's images and sounds are unfamiliar and somewhat illogical. The mind, finding that it cannot deconstruct the ideas intellectually, refocuses and an organic and pure experience is left.
