In Seattle, new and renewed art spaces are contributing to the citywide sense of reawakening.
One of these new spaces is the Capitol Hill gallery AMcE Creative Arts, which currently features Sommerset, a show by inaugural artist Anne Austin Pearce.
Pearce's large-scale works on paper are a swirling mix of layered colors and organic forms, which she creates by cutting up and collaging pieces of paintings she's made in the past.
It's a kind of visual memoir that shifts with every new installation.
During a visit by Crosscut Arts & Culture editor Brangien Davis, Pearce was pulling small vibrant shapes out of plastic bags and carefully placing them into a gallery-length piece called Icarus.
In regards to how she decides what goes where, Pearce says it's completely intuitive.
