Display artist Lee Harper: My foray into the world of photography began with taking daily snaps on my iPhone as a way to combat the rainy and dark Seattle winters. Next was my “gateway camera”, a point and shoot. From there it was game on and I was addicted! I am drawn to shape and texture, light and line. My photography is an eclectic blend of abstraction and concentration; representational photos of the natural world are counter-balanced by pictures with deliberately shifted perspectives and focal points. Last year, I completed the Summer Intensive Program at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana. I fell in love with the art of printing. Watching my art come to life is as enjoyable as taking photos. I have exhibited in several group shows at community art galleries, and individual shows at local coffee shops, bars, and restaurants in Seattle and Camano Island.

Show: Van Thorfinson Venue: Populuxe Brewing / 826 NW 49th St Event: December 20th 6pm - 9pm Showing: Through December We would like to welcome Van Thorfinson Photography’s as December’s featured artist. Showcasing “His Sound My Vision Photo Exhibition: A Tribute To The Great David Bowie” exhibit, he was inspired by his and his fathers mutual love for David Bowie and a memory of one of their last happy moments together listening to Bowie on a drive not long before his father lost his battle with ALS and, coincidentally David Bowie lost his battle with cancer. Van Thorfinson has been a photographer for over 30 years and although he’s winked in and out of taking images in the music and fashion industries, he is always working on projects for his own personal interests. For this project, he has spent hundreds of hour searching through his archives for images to combine together to best tell the stories from Bowie's songs and to honor his father memory. 20% of all sales will be donated to the ALS Foundation. **Populuxe Brewing offers a dollar off pints for attendees of Ballard Night Out!**   Artist: Brooke Fotheringham

 Artists: Thomas Condon & Juan Manuel Fernandez Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2221 NW 56th St. Suite 102 Event: April 19th 6pm - 9pm Showing through: May 12th Join us to celebrate Spring this Thursday from 6-9pm during the monthly Ballard Night Out. We will pull some tasty bottles from the cellar, so drop by and toast the season and the one-of-a-kind experimental prints by Thomas Condon and Juan Manuel Fernandez now on view through May 12th. Cheers Rain or Shine, Dan Shepherd, GALLERY 1/1 Director/Owner Featured Artists Tom Condon received his BFA in Painting from Virginia Tech and his MFA in Photography & Film from Virginia Commonwealth University, VCUarts. At GALLERY 1/1 we love to see the “hand of the artist” expressed in the prints we exhibit and Tom Condon exemplifies that amalgam of painting and photography with his unique silver gelatin chemigrams. Tom was a sucessful young painter until a life-changing accident shattered both of his arms leaving him unable to paint the same without pain. He turned to photography as his new medium and has refound his artistic voice with the painterly chemigram method of making prints. This experimental process utilizes a painterly application of photochemistry to light sensitive paper creating new imagery that Tom describes as an “imagining of the simultaneous impossibility of the abstract and the familiarity of the real.” We are presenting Tom’s Seattle debut exhibition with a selection of exciting new work in his Homomorphism series made during his current tenure as a Staff Artist for the Vermont Studio Center. See more of hisunique prints on our website. Juan Manuel Fernandez is an artist and educator based in the Aurora, Illinois. GALLERY 1/1 is pleased to present the Pacific Northwest debut of Juan's "Objective" series of tintype photograms. His series puts a contemporary twist on the historic wet plate collodion process to create photogram tintypes of geometric designs that defy the first impression of just simple shapes to reveal a much more complex and multifaceted construction the deeper you look. This reflects some of Juan's experience growing up as a Latino in the American Midwest. As a father of young children, Juan was inspired to see the world through their eyes particularly with their interest in colorful geometric shapes and how they are constructed. When not in the darkroom making personal work, Juan is an Adjunct Professor of Photography at Judson University, Elgin Community College, and Waubonsee Community College. He earned a BFA in Photography from Columbia College Chicago and an MFA from Northern Illinois University. Collections holding Juan's photography include Rockford Art Museum, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, Museum of Contemporary Photography, and Columbia College Chicago. See more of is unique prints on our website.   Artists: Thomas Condon & Juan Manuel Fernandez
Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2221 NW 56th St Event: March 15th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/536344990083560/ Showing: March 15th - May 12th GALLERY 1/1 is excited to present the Seattle debut of artists Thomas Condon and Juan Manuel Fernandez who each have a unique approach to creating hand-made photographic prints. Tom combines his training as a painter with an experimental “chemigram” technique, which utilizes hand-applied photochemistry to light-sensitive silver-gelatin paper create new - rather than reveal existing - images. Juan puts a contemporary twist on the historic wet plate collodion process to create photogram tintypes of complex geometric designs that are cameraless images made using darkroom techniques to produce the illusion of depth and dimension. These creations were inspired by trying to see the world through his kid's inquisitive eyes. Join us for the Opening Reception on Thursday, March 15th from 6-9 p.m. during the Ballard Night Out. The exhibition runs through Saturday, May 12th. Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St #2G

Artist: Adam Michael Waldo www.adammichaelwaldo.com Venue: Captain's Nautical Supplies / 1120 NW Ballard Way Event: October 19th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/815046625337618/ Showing: October 19th - December 19th Captain's Nautical Supplies will be featuring the nature photography of Adam Michael Waldo October 19th - December 19th. Stop in to see the new pieces during Ballard Night Out, October 19th 6pm - 9pm. Adam Michael Waldo is a photographer, adventurer, and model based out of Seattle, Washington. A life-long passion for travel informs both his world-view and his artwork. The work he produces gives expression to a fascination with form in all its stark beauty, strength, and simplicity. There is a visceral quality to his work that highlights the subtle immediacy of what is essential. The strength of his vision lies in his ability to show us the aesthetic webbing of reality—the conjuring of universality in the particular. A landscape, a sea-worn piece of driftwood, the spires, angles, and planes of a skyscraper or telephone pole—things that within each of our daily lives we may see, relish briefly (not exactly knowing what about it moves us), and then go on without a second thought—these he sets about stripping with near surgical precision in order to coax to life an impression that sticks with us long after we have viewed it through his eyes. Like the landscapes Hemingway describes through language, Waldo peels away sentimentality, subjectivity, and all that lends itself to cut-rate, overly-emotionalized artwork so that one is confronted with a thing the way that it truly is in itself. This uncompromising dedication to the representation of form strikes deeply not only into his portrayal of a specific subject, but also into the mind and being of his viewer. We recognize—though may not always have the words to describe—the exact clarity and strength of his vision. Lesser artists constantly seek to endow their subject matter with the colors of their own emotions, with the result being something lacking in universality. Waldo recognizes (as did Hemingway, Kubrick, and Frank Lloyd Wright) that the essence of the subject belongs to the subject alone. The subjects he chooses reveal themselves to us in their most stark or delicate skin—we are left confronting the thing itself, in all of its uninterpretable splendor. This is why his photography stays with us; this is why certain artists’ work remains just as alive and vital now as it was years ago. We are confronted the mysterious building blocks of the universe in his pictures. We are startled by the mysterious building blocks of ourselves in his pictures.

We will be featuring some very affordable and exciting contemporary prints mixed with some rare vintage classics. FEATURED ARTISTS Jonas Yip - His unique hand-pulled Polaroids rework long-expired chemicals to reveal evocative landscapes and cloudscapes reminiscent of Classical Chinese Shan Shui paintings, which did not aim to depict the realistic appearance of nature but rather capture its essence and rhythm, and ultimately express the artist’s inner landscape. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1192 Daniel Kukla - Impossible Project Instant Film from the Proving Grounds series. Taken at at sea in the archipelago of Svalbard within the Arctic Circle. The abstracted nature of these unique prints is due to the subzero temperatures causing "semi-failures" of the camera and film medium. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1182&NewID=10764 Paula Riff -Cyanotype on hand-marbled Japanese paper. Series: What's love got to do with it. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1187 Andrew K. Thompson - The Penetrating the Veil series of cameraless c-print chemigrams by Andrew is a powerful attempt to use the destructive gesture of manipulating the surface of the photographic paper to express unarticulated emotions behind the facades of everyday relationships. http://www.gallery1of1.com/Artwork-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=1181&NewID=10756 Artist: James Rooney Venue: The Vestibule / 6312 32nd Ave NW Unit A Event: August 17th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/451081208604922 Photographer and philanthropist James Rooney documents local protests and shows new work. 50%of proceeds go to the ACLU of WA and International Rescue Committee of Seattle.

 Show: Photo Biologique: Light + Life, featuring Brianna Tadeo & DM Witman Venue: Gallery 1/1 / 2856 NW Market St #2G Opening: April 20th 6pm - 9pm www.facebook.com/events/1348633991896020/ Showing: April 20th - June 10th Join us on Thursday, April 20th from 6-9 pm for the Opening of our latest exhibiton of unique photographic prints, Photo Biologique: Light + Life. We are featuring two artists, Brianna Tadeo and DM Witman, who could be considered biological alchemists in the darkroom. They are exploiting the chemical properties of the photographic medium by harnessing the power of blood and slugs to make their photographic prints. Photography is usually defined by its classical meaning “drawing with light” but with our latest exhibition, Photo Biologique: Light + Life, we are showcasing two artists, Brianna Tadeo and DM Witman, who each have added a unique biological twist to their traditional darkroom print making methods. Brianna Tadeo is a fine art photographer based in Oakland, CA. Her vibrant abstract prints are created with an experimental cameraless darkroom process developed by Brianna that combines photo-chemistry, blood and animal organs from the butcher to show a singular moment of the gradual process of cellular decay. She is compressing time into a single instance with these unique one-of-a-kind chromogenic Blood Prints. DM Witman is an award-winning artist-educator based in Maine. With her series Supercluster Arion and Other Phenomena, Deanna continues to explore her themes of obsession – ephemerality, biology, synergy, and finding a way to make the intangible tangible. Over the course of two years, she worked with common slugs directly on silver- gelatin photographic paper. The process involved nightly slug hunting trips into the woods, followed by late night darkroom sessions. An introduction to these one-of-a-kind prints was written by the esteemed scientist and best-selling author, Alan Lightman, who wrote, “In discerning a resemblance of Witman’s slug tracings to the majestic display of the galaxies, we find some union between the very small and the very large, between the fleeting and the long lived, between the animate and the inanimate. And if we can also find in these images a touch of beauty, a sense of imagination, and a flight of whimsy and provocation, then we have fully experienced the voyage that all art attempts to create.”   Alsia Soiset Curated by the Printmakers' Group 'Escape Into Colors' Venue: BallardWorks / 2856 NW Market St Curated by the Printmakers’ Group, BallardWorks will host “Escape into Colors,” five concurrent shows on all three levels. On the 3rd floor, unified by their interest in the play of colors both on buildings and in nature, David Barnes, Daniel Santjer, Alsia Soiset and Garett Sweany are showing photographs, paintings and encaustic paintings. The atrium and stairwell will feature an installation by Helen Curtis, constructed of Washi paper and bamboo … kites that just might fly! On the 2nd floor, an exhibit of drawings by Sebastian Voorhees inspired by collisions of impressions as well as “Old & New” which highlights the progression in three artists’ works: Diane Davis, Dionne Haroutunian and Vicki Platt-Brown. In the 1st floor print studio, Anna Savoie will show her intaglio prints that integrate imagery from her world travels.
