Tammie Rubin:
The Aviary
March 1 - 30, 2007

reception MARCH 1, 2007, 6 – 8 p.m.

Gallery4Culture is pleased to present new ceramic works by Seattle artist Tammie Rubin.

Delving into the artist's fascination in creating chimeras that inhabit mythic worlds, these new works are composed of complex patterns and textures and saturated colors. The forms are inspired by plastic containers, packaging, and replicas of natural objects - items that are often considered trivial and disposable in which we encounter daily. Utilizing the amorphous properties of clay, while exploring its inherent materiality, the artist creates sumptuous fluid creatures that feel both alien and familiar.

A reception will be held on March 1, 2007, the first Thursday of the month, during the Downtown Artwalk, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend. The exhibition will run from March 1 - 30, 2007.

Gallery4Culture is located within 4Culture offices at 101 Prefontaine PL S, at the corner of Third and Prefontaine, in the Tashiro/Kaplan Building. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., closed government holidays; the gallery is open and free to the public.
