ALL RISE is pleased to have commissioned Natalie Jenkins' first Seattle exhibition.
A site-specific installation that speaks to a transitional state between intention and permanency, -trans mimics impending buildings, calling attention to their place within the cityscape. Says Jenkins, "These are structures in metamorphosis, incomplete and impermanent. They are potential; not-yet-space. We watch to see progression but look away, leaving them as an unseen thing. I am calling attention to what amounts then to a voided space."
Natalie Jenkins is a Pacific Northwest artist pursuing her curatorial interests. Her sculptural works, formed from domestic ephemera, subvert reality's hypocrisies.
