Kathy Venter at BAM

Yesterday on the way home from the cemetery, we stopped at Bellevue Arts Museum to catch several excellent exhibits – Folding Paper: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami; Fragile Fortress: The Art of Dan Webb; and Kathy Venter: LIFE. Although all three were fascinating, the latter was the most sketchable to me: life-size female figures made of ceramic.

“Immersion 17” depicts a female figure suspended in the air while leaning backward. What made it especially interesting for this quick sketch was its twin shadows cast on the wall behind the piece.
