Last night Matt and I went to see an art talk with Harriet “Harry” Dodge at Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. I was super inspired!
Still shot from the video.
We saw a hilarious video called The Ass and the Lapdog that tackled issues of language — the ways we describe images with words to create materiality in the minds of others. And body language is so essential. The stories each character describes are so vivid and funny, so strange and surreal. Imagination is key for both the story teller and the listener.
I would love to have Harry come as a visiting artist at PNCA next summer... So smart, thoughtful, funny, and insightful. I love all the different media at play in these explorations of language and imagination.
