“GOD” SAVE THE QUEENS
February 2025
In her upcoming show, "God" Save the Queens, Morgan Peterson (Season 4 winner of Blown Away) presents a series of blown glass mirrors and cameo portraits of Seattle-based drag queens, exploring her ideals of feminine beauty.
Inspired by traditional opaline and dark contrasting color cameos reminiscent of jasperware portraits of royalty and notable figures from the Victorian era, Peterson reimagines this historical style through a contemporary queer lens. Her work highlights the significance of drag art within the queer community and its profound impact on fashion, culture, and self-expression.
Opening Thursday, February 13th and running through the end of February by appointment. Closing reception Thursday, March 6th, 6-9pm.
PAPER PLANES
January 2025
In her first-ever solo exhibition, Amara Eke takes us on a colorful journey through five years of drawings and collages on paper. The title Paper Planes nods to both the medium and the expansive "planes of existence" these works explore, charting a timeline of the artist’s evolution—from her early experiments to her bold, glittering compositions of today.
Amara’s vibrant works blend acrylics, intricate patterns, and shimmering textures to illustrate themes of interconnectedness, time, space, and individuality. With a unique visual language and a dedication to pushing the boundaries of composition and spectacle, her art invites viewers into imaginative realms bursting with life and color.
