Welcome to the Original Seattle Neighborhood – rich in history, arts, culture, and food!
The Gallery is pleased to present our first one-person exhibition by Seattle artist Holly Ballard Martz. The title for this exhibition, Past Perfect Future Tense, is a sly reference to society’s reverence of youth (one’s past is perfect) and its fraught relationship to growing old (one’s future is tense.) Incorporating a variety of materials, ranging from vintage quilts to disposable injection needles to detachable bra straps, the artist creates sculpture that confronts assumptions about aging, particularly for women.
