Artwork: “Looking Through Trees” Featured Artist: Michael Kaniecki PCAF Art Gallery 3009 S 40th St, Tacoma, WA 98409 August & September, 2019 Contact: jill a frey, Gallery Curator jfrey@pcaf-wa.org 253-383-2565 If you’ve ever passed a stand of trees on a walk or a ride, this work might look familiar. I’ve been interested for awhile in the effects of a graphic on folded paper and how the image changes with the movement of the viewer’s eye. That visual effect and the gallery space at PCAF seemed like an appropriate pairing to explore this, the latest of my folded drawing efforts. -MK PCAF Art Gallery is honored to display the latest of Michael Kaniecki’s folded drawing efforts, “Looking Through Trees” during the months of August and September. Using India ink and wash on paper, Michael’s work covers 33’ in length and fills the gallery with his distinctive mark marking resembling an abstract landscape of trees. The folded work offers angles and shadows, perspectives unique to the viewer’s eye. In conjunction with September’s National HIV/AIDS & Aging Awareness Day, “Looking Through Trees” is reminiscent of old growth stands and the wisdom, maturation, and fortitude that comes from the extension of years. Hours of the gallery are M, T, Th, and F from 9 - 5 pm. Wednesday from 11 - 5 pm. All are welcome. FEATURING: Michael Kaniecki Michael Kaniecki is a life long drawing student, teacher, and Industrial Designer with experience in pattern design, furnishings and interiors, exhibit, and display. Current focus is on drawings and expressive mark-making. Show runs through September 30, 2019.
