DIMENSIONS VARIABLE
Dimensions Variable is the home of current and past written works by Sharon Arnold, covering a multitude of varying subjects from artist profiles and arts ecosystems to spiritual and social philosophy.
My most recent essay for J. Rinehart Gallery has been published, In Which What Does Not Include a Painting of a Whale is In Fact the Memory of the Story of a Whale, covers Seattle painter Susanna Bluhm's landscapes, the sublime, Moby Dick's complicated premise, and the subversiveness of queer sublimity. This essay is published in the accompanying catalog for her July solo exhibition, The Monkey-rope, on view now at J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle.
I'm excited to announce the intro of an upcoming project on herbs for prayer, protection, and blessings has been published on New Archives, a Seattle-based online journal dedicated to the writings and artwork of Pacific Northwest artists and writers. The June issue is focused on the intersections of art, healing, and joy. You may also find a sneak peek of what's to come over on this page. Enjoy!
While I have more art writing in the works for later in 2021, you can still read any of my past and present art and artist offerings over on my art writing archive!
I hope you're finding community, joy, and safety this summer. Enjoy the turn of this season, and be well!
