April 8, 2022 (Langley, WA) – Featuring 12 artists, Rags, Rubbish, and Refuse is organized in conjunction with Whidbey Island's Earth & Ocean Month, which occurs each April (www.whidbeyearthday.org). It is sponsored by Goosefoot Community Fund, a local non-profit organization.
Rags, Rubbish, and Refuse: Artists Who Get Dirty is on view April 1 – May 8, 2022 at the Bayview Cash Store Hub Gallery, located at 5603 Bayview Road, Langley, WA. Open daily 10 am - 6 pm.
“Delivered” by Lynn Harris. Recycled shipping paper, rope, twine.
On display are sculptures, textiles, and two-dimensional wall art made primarily from found, recycled, and repurposed materials. The participating artists creatively fabricated unique creations with materials such as shipping paper, plastic soda bottles, barbed wire, grocery bags, sardine cans, broken jewelry, and even an old utility pole. Many artists were inspired by the idea of transforming trash to treasures and chose to use reclaimed materials in their art to create unexcepted and invaluable pieces.
Participating artists are Stinger Anderson, Jonathan Bartholick, Karin Bolstad, Lianna Gilman, Lynn Harris, Marcy Johnson, Kim Kelzer, Melissa Koch, Diane Leganza, John Norris, Sarah Dial Primrose, and Michael Scott. All artists are from Whidbey Island, with the exception of weaver Lynn Harris from Seattle.
