Tangle is an exhibition of recent works in a variety of materials that draws inspiration and reference to the patterns of disorder and the undifferentiated condition of the natural world.

Tangle is unbounded and messy ”it is clouds, brambles, dust bunnies. It is lively and complex. Tangle is not the straight line, the golden mean.  Martha Stewart.

Kathryn Glowen a third-generation resident of the coastal Pacific Northwest. The natural world is her surrounding and essential inspiration, yet she is equally as influenced and inspired by the ways that we examine, interact with and investigate that world.

Her visual language is derived from the universal (as in the night sky) and the particular (the structure of a leaf or a wasp nest). She is also drawn to the texture of printed language, particularly dictionary pages, maps and paper ephemera such as postcards, stamps and package labels.  Recent works have focused on the incredibly rich decorative patterns of men’s silk neckties as a material used in her dense, lush color panels. Several of these works were included in the recent exhibition “Finds Refined” at the Museum of Northwest Art in La Conner, Wash.

In addition to studio works, Kathryn has also worked in sculptural and installation modes. A major opus, a museum-scale installation titled PETLAND: One Woman’s Century, was created from the personal and business effects of a female proprietor of a pet store in pre-WWII Spokane, Wash. Debuting in 1997, PETLAND was exhibited at 13 museum and university gallery venues including the Tacoma Art museum (1998) the Whatcom Museum (2001), and most recently in 2006 at the Museum of Art and Culture in Spokane, Wash.

Ron Glowen is a “semi-retired” art critic and writer who occasionally collaborates with Kathryn. He has exhibited his own work (drawings, paintings, architectural works) in several solo and group exhibits including the Eastern Washington University Art Gallery and Noodleworks, an artist studio complex in Seattle.

Kathryn and Ron live on a farm near Arlington, Wash.
