Exposition. Documents Northwest: The PONCHO Series Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer BEECHER and Barbara THOMAS 20 août 1998 - 24 janvier 1999 USA, Seattle Art Museum "Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer Beecher and Barbara Thomas presents works by two mid-career Seattle artists known for their highly imaginative, symbol-laden imagery. Both artists bring personal perspectives to broad cultural issues. Beecher looks back to the subjects and materials of colonial American history, remaking flags, maps, and broadside imagery. In one piece, she has woven and pieced together quilts using strips of metal cut from beer and soda cans. Thomas paints poignant, sharply nuanced visions that evoke mysterious, often ominous events; her narratives reflect on a variety of topics, from her family memories to visions of natural and cultural disaster.
