COCA “Knock on Wood” group exhibition

March 12 – April 24, 2026

My sculpture “Concentrixity” was included in Knock on Wood exhibition at The Center on Contemporary Art (COCA) gallery 114 Third Ave. S. Seattle WA.

Curatorial advisor and artist Joel Colvos recognizes how wood is “a material of paradox: both common and precious, temporary yet long-lasting and remarkably pliable,” in essence a metaphor for the creative process. Perhaps surprisingly (or not!), Knock on Wood includes many women artists in contrast to the stereotypes of lumberjacks or craftsmen.
Participating artists include:  Renee Adams, Michael Alm, Susan Aurand, Diane Bellisario, Evan Blackwell, James Cheng, Collette Collins, Joel Colvos, Shaun Doll, Jill Drllevich, Tammie Dupuis, Tim Fowler, Dave Francis, David French, Tom Gormally, Julia Haack, Steve Jensen, Sarah Kavage, Jill Kyong, Jay Lazerwitz, Mike Leavitt, Andy McConnell, Naoko Morisawa, Jesse Proebstel, Polly Purvis, Peter Reiquam, June Sekiguchi, Matt Sellars, Nate Stemen, Bill Whipple, Robert Williamson, Ed Wicklander, Jennifer Angiak Wood, and Suze Woolf.*

Jan. 2021 Auburn “Art on Main” installation –

Installation was on-view from Jan. 7, 2021 to April 8, 2021 at 1 E. Main St., Auburn WA 98002.

EARTHSCAPE-CITYSCAPE

One Main Street Gallery, Auburn, WA

This installation project conjoins elemental references of structure and space; intermingling historical precedents, figure-ground studies of cities, miniature inhabitations, archeology, and imagined places into sculptures and paintings of constructed inhabitations, and imagined miniature worlds.

The built environment is central to my focus. My artwork is very much influenced by a passion for architecture and ecology, and is a confluence of natural and architectonic forms. I place these two paradigms in juxtaposition, in order to keep questioning the balance of human interaction with the natural world.
