FlotsamJetsamLagan: The Oneness Works on paper by Cable Griffith February 6 - March 2, 2013 Opening Reception: Thursday, February 7, 6-8 pm SOIL Gallery, Seattle, WA FlotsamJetsamLagan: The Oneness is a collection of works on paper, created over a span of seven years. Presented as a unified body, these seemingly disparate works represent various curiosities, experiments, precursors, and oddities of Griffith's practice. As a whole, this grouping favors exploration over consistency, and embraces both successes and failures as one.

The artists included in Chamber Music span generations and reflect a broad aesthetic spectrum. What unites them is a shared dedication to artist-generated activities that strengthen Seattle’s arts community beyond their own admirable art practices. Chamber Music is thus both a celebration of individual mark-making and a cooperative composition about love for this city and how artists choose to leave their mark on it.
