Fred Birchman’s The River is Moving
(the show title is taken from Wallace Stevens’ poem
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird) presents a range of new work
including a wood-and-found object installation, a second wood piece, and
more than a dozen mixed media works on paper. Birchman is an artist who
works every day and what he produces often hints at what has caught his
eye, occupied his thoughts, or gotten him out of bed and into the studio
that morning. He has shaped this show with the idea of highlighting this
aspect of his work. Here are his notes about the show:

| Fred Birchman’s last solo show in the main space at the Seders Gallery was in 2007; he has had two one-person shows upstairs (2010, 2009) and his work was featured in The Art of Fred Birchman at the Edmonds Arts Festival Museum, Edmonds, Washington in 2009. Recently Birchman’s work has been included in Wunderkammer at Koplin Del Rio Gallery in Culver City, California (2013); Yesterday’s Tomorrow at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, Washington (2012); and A Family Show-Michael Dailey/Susanne Kelly, Michael Spafford/Spike Mafford, Fred Birchman/Sam Birchman/Julian Birchman at Francine Seders Gallery (2011). | ||

| When she travels, Juliana Heyne is constantly asking herself what it is about a place that catches and holds her attention. As she draws and photographs a new landscape, she focuses on the nuances of space, light, color, and texture that make it unique. Later in the studio, she works from memory and her visual notes to recreate the experience for viewers. Since 2010 Heyne has taken several road trips, driving through eastern Washington and Oregon, Nevada, Wyoming, and the Dakotas. She spent considerable time in the John Day Fossil Beds in central Oregon, Red Rock State Park in Nevada, and the land that borders the Columbia River on its run to the coast. Many of the paintings and monoprints in the current upstairs gallery show are from these areas. Heyne is continuing to make work from these trips through the western states, and the pieces in the current show offer a selection from an ongoing body of work. Juliana Heyne’s last solo show at the Seders Gallery was in 2010. She is currently preparing for a solo show in the main space in 2014. | ||
