Decked Out -Pacific Bonsai Museum: April 2016

Decked-Out: From Scroll to Skateboard  

April 30—October 2, 2016    

The traditional environment for displaying a bonsai in Japan is a small interior alcove called a tokonoma. Much like the mantel above a fireplace, the tokonoma is a room’s focal point where cherished art and objects are displayed. A tokonoma display consists of three elements: a bonsai, a hanging scroll, and a small accent plant or art object. The role of the scroll is to anchor the display both visually and thematically. Decked-Out aspires to reinterpret the traditional hanging scroll used in bonsai displays with modern skate deck art.

Decked-Out: From Scroll to Skateboard features 16 tokonoma style displays, each with a custom skate deck painted by the Pacific Northwest’s most talented urban muralists.  Artists are paired with a bonsai to create a work that combines traditional motifs and modern graffiti styles, as a new interpretation of bonsai display is established. Don’t miss this groundbreaking exhibit as the ancient beauty of bonsai collides with the emerging street art movement for the very first time.

Sea Affaire – The Piranha Shop: Wednesday, July 22nd 2015

The maiden voyage of “Sea Affaire” was a solo effort by local artist Solace. This year Solace accepts the role of captain and insists on assistance. A motley crew of artists was assembled to man the ship.

We welcome aboard Michelle Anderst, the natural observer of the crew. Her delicate structures and attention to detail are sure to marvel. Ego was a must for this trek. His tattoo heritage coupled with his patented whimsical creepiness will surely supply some maritime merriment. His ability to harness water-based pigment makes Levi Hastings an obvious addition to this cast. Drawing from his many travels and filtered through his eye for design, his tales are not to be missed.  Megon Shoreclay is a true  explorer. Enamored with the mysteries of the natural world, she brings vibrance and excitement to her vision. To complete this ensemble, there is Joe Vollan. His dedication to adventure is unparalleled as he grounds us with his search for contentment and hope in dilapidated worlds.

Please join us for the celebration of this year’s “Sea Affaire” collection. All crew members will be in attendance.

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
