 | Rain, volcanoes, mist-shrouded islands: Seattle artist Jennifer Campbell focuses on a number of key Northwest icons in her current exhibition of landscape-based video and photography. Not content to merely observe, Campbell literally inserts herself into the natural setting, and the results, as noted her by KUOW art reviewer, Gary Faigin, are both engaging and surprising. Volcanoes, gentle rain, rugged chains of evergreen islands – the lure of our region’s environment is why many of settled here in the first place. The Northwest landscape is a powerful daily presence in our lives, but responding to it presents artists with a dilemma. |
