ARTIST STATEMENT

Kade Grossarth (he/they) is a senior at Sehome High School. He enjoys clowning, acting, and expressing himself through wacky art! He began making what he calls his ‘Baby Creations’ in April of 2020, and is now surrounded by piles of mangled baby dolls on a day-to-day basis. What started off as janky, un-glued projects have grown into put-together and delicately crafted pieces as his skills improved over time. This is a collection of many of his Baby Creations, ranging from the very first one made to the most horrifying, and everything in-between.

Hello! I’m a mixed-media fiber artist living in Bellingham, WA, working mainly in embroidery, but often incorporating soft-sculpture, wood-work, paint, image-transfer, and stop-motion video into my studio practice. In the past three years I’ve expanded my work from two dimensional embroidery to three dimensional dioramas. When making the Isolated Figures series, I was interested in exploring the complexity of personal identity within the context of societal expectations and conformity. The Figures’ colorful embroidery on dark linen contrasts with their monochromatic backgrounds, representing the tension between our inner and outer worlds. Isolation can breed sadness and loneliness, but embracing the qualities that make us feel isolated, or “other”, can also add beauty, texture and depth to the world.

Thank you for looking!

Welcome to my fever dream, sometimes night terror. The story of my blue man companion, wall flower if you will, starts with a dream. I was 6 and this reoccurring dream has delighted and haunted me since. I'm in an indoor rollercoaster, once I get to the top there are a variety of doors to choose from. All different shapes and sizes. I can choose a door to go through, ride down the rollercoaster to the next set of doors, or I can just ride the ride all night. Beside me is this blue entity, he doesn't speak or touch me. He doesn't help me when things go wrong or rejoice with me when I've made a breakthrough in dreamland. One thing is for certain is that he is always there. I have more night terrors than most and I have woken up furious at him for not helping me, because he is me.. Right? It spooked me for years until I listened to an interview with Erykah Badu from 2019 where she states, "There's a philosophy that says 85% of the people on the planet are followers. 10% of the people on the planet are creators. Or leaders and 5% of the people are observers." That has struck a chord with me ever since. I had a hard childhood and had to make big decisions and be a leader when I shouldn't have been and all I wanted was to be still and soak up the world around me. That statement shifted the narrative in my mind about my blue man, that maybe he didn't abandon me when the times were rough but rather he's there to remind me that I can step back. I can take the space to be quiet and process. I can hear my loved ones telling me now, to "put the cup down." In my waking life I'm the initiator, the person who is always seeking, planning, doing. Conceptualizing Mr. Peripheral outside of myself has given me the freedom to step out of my own mental cereal box and process from a different perspective. I have always been deeply inspired by the weird shows from the 90's and 00's like The Big Comfy Couch, Between the Lions, Bear in the Big Blue House, Dinosaurs, ect. So the idea is to create a small production show, consisting of part live action and part stopmotion. The live action will be Mr. Peripheral going about in various scenes processing the theme of the episode whether its grief of losing a parent or the joys of human connection but when he falls asleep that's when the magic happens. When he's asleep he enters dreamland where the puppets come in, all stop motion and truly act out the story. He wakes up from his dreams and revels in the resolution, or doesn't.. Enjoy witnessing the work beforehand and stay tuned for the show!

ARTIST STATEMENT

I like to make art to fill the time and maybe give a smile to someone else. My process consists of either winging a project or drawing a plan, then finding the colors needed and working with music on. Either a random playlist or a metal/rock one. While working, getting poked in the finger is part of the process.
