SEEPS OF WINTER
John Grade

21 January – 18 April 2008

Inspired by explorations as resident artist at Ballenglen Foundation in County Mayo, Ireland, artist John Grade has created an imagined view of the bottom of a peat bog. Made from cast paper pulp, glassine and cellulose, Grade’s “Seeps of Winter” extends across the gallery ceiling, sagging with suggested weight and fragility and emitting natural light through magnified light-filled pores.

John Grade received his B.F.A. from Pratt Institute, New York. He currently lives and works in Seattle, Washington. Seeps of Winter is made possible through funding from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, 4 Culture Arts Sustained Support, the Suyama Space “Gallery Friends,” and was curated by Beth Sellars in partnership with Space.City. Artist support is provided by a special project grant from 4Culture.
