About

I am an intermedia artist living and working in eastern Washington state. I grew up in Ohio where I had a short career as a recording artist before returning to the visual arts. My visual art now makes use of a diverse background in web design, music and painting to make works that are part-painting and part-new media installations. I also continue to write songs that balance acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Read more…

This is art by Joshua “Richie” Masias, @richie This is art by Joshua “Richie” Masias, @richiemasiasart recent Washington State University MFA graduate. Richie is a talented abstract painter and sculptor who continually expanded his choice of materials during the two years in our program. His thesis exhibition is a mind-bending combination of video, sound, sculpture, drawing—everything but the kitchen sink (although to find an actual kitchen sink thoughtfully incorporated into one of his works would be unsurprising). Richie’s documentation of his work is perhaps as striking and compelling as the work itself. As impending Covid-19 closures had artists and students scrambling to document their long-awaited exhibitions in alternative spaces, Richie picked an unconventional site that to my knowledge has never been utilized as an exhibition space: the parking garage loading dock. As his images attest, this proved to be a highly cinematic choice. Richie’s works play with ideas of childhood and nostalgia, but have an edge of ambiguity and danger that speaks to the complicated relationships adults maintain with various media and materials. In Richie’s words, assemblages “of found and made objects are suspended in an infinitely-looping conversation” evoking time-travel and perhaps, a sense of being out of time. #mfa #mfathesisexhibition #student #artist #graduate #proudprofessor #painting #intermedia
This is art by Kelsey Baker, recent Washington Sta This is art by Kelsey Baker, recent Washington State University MFA graduate. Kelsey’s thesis exhibition Call of the Void was intermedia, spanning painting, video and participatory sound piece as well as installation. As an experienced painter, her show was centered around masterfully painted images of voids, coupled with physical objects inviting the viewer to imagine their own bodies interacting with the surfaces or voids. On the floor is what looks to be a very large wooden frame. In fact the frame was made of styrofoam cut on a CNC router and painstakingly assembled, sanded and painted by Kelsey to look like wood. Into the frame is projected a montage of moving images that speak to voids and liminal spaces, accompanied by a soundtrack of strangers’ voices sharing their dreams. The result is a disorienting but beautiful reflection on the slippery line between the solidity of our waking moments and the sensation of merely occupying human bodies locked into particular spaces and times. In addition to serving on her thesis committee, Kelsey and I worked closely throughout her two years at WSU. We worked together not only as student and professor but as true collaborators, designing and executing a large-scale interdisciplinary public mural that made use of thermochromic paints specially formulated in the WSU chemistry lab with Dr. Amy Nielsen.

I would like to invite you to an opening reception I would like to invite you to an opening reception Friday May 1st at 3pm for an online exhibition I have curated, Shapeshifters at Terrain Gallery (@terrainspokane). The show includes artists whose deconstruction of the physical elements of painting mirrors an interest in deconstructing conceptual elements of the inherited story of art history in the West. The opening will be a live video conversation featuring yours truly as host, exhibiting artists: Azzah Sultan (@sitisultan) Mica Smith (@micalilith) Elise Thompson (@eeehhhlise) Lien Truong (@lien__truong) and YOU, our special guest! Check my Instagram or Terrain Gallery's website or instagram just before the event Friday for the video chat log-in details (waiting to announce details in order to thwart z∅∅mbombers). Each succeeding Friday afternoon in May at 3pm, I will take over Terrain's Instagram account and do Instagram live interviews with each artist (yes there are five Fridays in May this year). Jiemei "Mei" Lin (@meidrawsgirls) will be co-facilitating the individual interviews. Without Mei there would be no show, as conversations with her about her paintings on screens set this idea in motion. I am genuinely excited to have four artists from around the country and at different stages of their careers come together to talk about intermedia approaches to painting, and the stickiness of some of paintings more dubious ideological associations. For more information about the show's conceptual frame, check the link in my Instagram profile to Terrain Gallery's website. Jackie Caro and Carl Richardson at Terrain have been so easy to work with during a crazy time. Terrain does so much for the creative community in Spokane, and continues to support artists during Covid-19. This exhibition is now supported by a Community Challenge grant from the Washington State University Center for Arts & Humanities as well. The Center for Arts & Humanities has supported my own work in the past; I am elated to be able to work with them to support the work of these four artists in this exhibition as well. Looking forward to seeing you online Friday May 1st at 3pm! -- #curator #contemporaryart
