Kim Slate, "Home"

Kim Slate, "Home" September 21st – October 20th, 2024 Opening Reception: Saturday, September 21st, 6-8pm Haven Gallery is pleased to present a new collection of mischievous sculptures from Oregon based artist Kim Slate. The new collection entitled "Home", will feature eight new sculptures of animals and fauna with Slate's quintessential wide and snarky grins. Both enchanting and playful, each animal and plant are meticulously sculpted and painted to capture bold personalities. A storyteller at heart, Slate invites the viewers to create their own narratives and characters. About Kim Slate Even from a young age growing up in Eastern Washington, Kim Slate had a fascination with the creation of images and the power they had to capture the imagination and elicit emotion. The encouragement of her interests and talents led her to study animation where the power of images are amplified by story. After graduation, she applied her training to several feature films, most recently the award winning film Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio. In her sculptures and paintings she has honed a unique perspective, depicting the mysterious and sometimes mischievous adventures of ordinary and exotic creatures. Each piece suggests a narrative, her charming characters caught in some act of scheming, play, or discovery. Kim resides in Portland Oregon where she can be found running its miles of forest trails or traveling with her husband and four year old son. Artist Statement: How do we know when we're home? A place where we find comfort, familiarity, acceptance, esteem. It is a retreat, a refuge, and a sanctuary when we return from adventure A retreat into peace where we are at ease It is a nest, a dwelling, an abode filled with calm and contentment sheltered and safe from the whims of uncertainty A place of security, nourishment and rest
