"Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire" on Exhibit at Artists at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown, Wash.

Exhibited by the Palouse Patchers, the theme is "Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire" and includes quilts created by members of the Palouse Patchers using the theme of "Elements: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire."

On display at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown from August 29 through September 29. Come and meet the artists at the opening reception on Sunday, September 8 from 1 to 3 pm.

In June 2012, the members of the Palouse Patchers Quilt Club, based in Moscow, Idaho, began working on a “challenge” using the theme of “Water, Earth, Wind and Fire”. Each participant chose an envelope which contained one of the four “elements" as well as the parameters for the quilts. Everyone was encouraged to use their imagination to depict their chosen element. Any and all techniques could be used to complete the quilts, including all types of embellishments. The challenge allowed the quilters to express themselves creatively and try techniques that they might not have used in the past.

Artist Hiromi Okumura Reception April 7, 2013 at Dahmen Barn in Uniontown, Washington

"Space, Energy and Movement" is April exhibit at the Dahmen Barn

The month of April visual and performing artist Hiromi Okumura will exhibit abstract paintings and have a short performance during the opening reception at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown. Hiromi lives in Pullman, Washington and is currently teaching fine arts at Washington State University. Her paintings are bright, bold and very energetic. The opening reception is Sunday, April 7th 1:00pm-3:00pm and the exhibit continues through April 28 during regular open hours.

Says Hiromi:

"In my art making, process of physicality is as important, often more important, as the followed result. Viewers frequently asked me what I was feeling and thinking while painting. “Energy, space and movement” as my theme, it made perfect sense when I started to make an installation of layered projection of the movement of colors. Also from a perspective as a dancer, it made an excellent sense to make drawings and paintings using your entire body, because that is how I make my art. And I love viewers to experience my art and share the process of art making.  I want viewers to experience my art at an emotional level. I want viewers to be more than viewers; I like them to be participants in the dance. I would like them to get into my painting and I want my art to be a part of their lives."

The opening reception with the artists present is scheduled for Sunday, May 6 from 1 to 4 pm.  What originally brought the artists together was a common interest in exploring non-traditional quilting techniques. Each one has her own area of interest and comfort within the fiber world and stretching the bounds beyond. Quilting, dyeing, painting, three dimensional elements, embellishment with numerous objects both old and new, fabric distortion and felting are but a few of the techniques used.

Wearable art, quilted art wall hangings, mobiles and fabric bowls make up a few of the items in the exhibit. The artists have incorporated everything from rare bird feathers to copper in the quilted art pieces and wearables.
