The Exhibition

Three artists whose practices converge on a single question: what do materials hold, and what do they refuse to hold? Andy McConnell's salvaged cedar carries the memory of demolished Puget Sound structures. Maria Cristalli's iron assemblages exhaust the logic of industrial function until something stranger emerges. Jill Kyong's layered paper and encaustic surfaces record process the way sediment records weather — every mark a timestamp.

The show opens May 2 on First Friday Art Walk — the gallery's biggest night of the year. Both Bainbridge Island and Park City programs open simultaneously. Register below for opening-night notification and first access to works.

Andy McConnell
Reclaimed Cedar · Mixed Media
McConnell works with salvaged old-growth cedar pulled from demolished Puget Sound structures. The wood carries a century of grain, salt, and human use. He carves, dyes, and assembles it into constructions that hold the oral history of places that no longer exist.
Maria Cristalli
Sculpture · Iron · Found Objects
Cristalli builds from iron and found industrial material — objects whose original purpose has been exceeded. Her assemblages ask what remains useful when function is removed. The answer, in her hands, is always: more than you thought.
Jill Kyong
Layered Mixed Media · Paper · Encaustic
Kyong works in layers — paper, wax, pigment, text — building surfaces that record process the way geological strata record time. Each work holds evidence of decisions made and reversed, marks added and buried.
