2014 Panelists

Etsuko Ichikawa is a Tokyo-born, Seattle-based, multi-media artist. Ichikawa describes her work as “a continuing investigation of what lies between the ephemeral and the eternal.” Her Pyrographs and Aquagraphs are drawings made by fire and water, capturing and eternalizing the immediacy of a moment, while her installations and time-based work are about ever-changing states of mind. Ichikawa’s work has been exhibited internationally, including The Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo, Waterhouse & Dodd in New York City, and Seattle Art Museum. She has received grants from numerous institutions including the Pollock Krasner Foundation, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and National Endowment for the Arts. Her work has been reviewed in national publications such as Sculpture Magazine, NY Arts Magazine, and GLASS Quarterly. |

Tivon Rice holds a PhD from the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Art and Experimental Media. His work explores the intersections of immediate physical space and the virtual spaces described by digital media. Rice has received numerous awards including the ArtistTrust Fellowship, the Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Grant, and the Boeing International Fellowship. He was a 2012 Fulbright Researcher in South Korea, and Artist in Residence at The Seoul Museum of Art where he developed work for the 12th Seoul International Media Arts Festival. |

Ruth Marie Tomlinson utilizes repetitive processes to exercises her passion for systems, for cataloging and for restructuring. The work touches simple quandaries we face daily: What changes? What remains? What is remembered? What is forgotten? Resulting works are sited in architectural settings or within a landscape, facilitating an active relationship between the viewer and her intent. Tomlinson is a graduate of The Evergreen State College and received her MFA from the University of Washington. She currently maintains a studio in Two Dot, Montana, where she works and provides an invitational residency program during the summer months. As a professor at Cornish College of the Arts, Tomlinson combines her background in fibers, her knowledge of the sculptural form, and her use of space as a material, with her interest in fostering the creative process. |
