“Celebrating Pacific Northwest Artists: 25 Years of the Neddy Awards”

The legacy of Robert E. [Ned] Behnke is celebrated in an exhibition showcasing the works of the Neddy Artist Award recipients over the past 25 years at Cornish College of the Arts. This unrestricted award, one of the most significant in the Pacific Northwest, has propelled the careers of many visual artists in the Puget Sound region. The retrospective exhibition, curated by Negarra A. Kudumu, allows audiences to engage with the personal and artistic evolution of these lauded artists.

“(In)Form”

Through the use of various materials and laborious techniques, Clark’s work aims to foster mindfulness and presence. From the aroma of cedar and wool to the acoustic alterations offered by hand-formed wooden domes, the exhibition connects the senses and encourages a holistic interaction with art. Clark’s creations, rooted in his rural life on Vashon Island, offer an introspective experience, highlighting the therapeutic potential of physical awareness and artistic creation.
