Mark Calderon, There’s Always Glimmer

Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to announce our eleventh one-person exhibition of work by Seattle artist, Mark Calderon. Initially created as a collection of beaded textiles, each expressing words of apology, the exhibition is titled There’s Always Glimmer. In the end, with the addition of the mirrored work, it embraces hope.
“There are things in all of our pasts—recent and long ago—that we can apologize for. I felt that the show needed a counterpoint to the message of sadness and regret. The mirrored sculpture Glimmer is a bright and hopeful work intended as an uplifting refuge. It is my responsibility to keep alive at least a glimmer.
“Apologizing is a powerful act. Its depth of feeling, of caring, of thoughtfulness, is what ultimately interests me. What can we do? An apology is a way to begin.”
