Actions and fossils

This weekend begins the auction events surround the fundraising for Museum of Northwest Art, Sapphire Dream, culminating on Saturday, May 30, 2026. Above is my contribution to the auction from the series, The Book of Shadows. This includes images of fossil trilobites from the Burgess Shale, Field, British Columbia, Canada. I made rubbings from the trilobite bed on Mt. Stephen during a trip there over 20 years ago. This specimen, kootenia burgessensis, was the design for the relief place to make resist images with acrylic medium (matte).

The museum is located at 121 S First St, La Conner WA 98257 <www.monamuseum.org>

Here's a link to the catalog: https://e.givesmart.com/events/Okf/i/ and this work is #143 in the silent auction.

We're attending tonight's preview for the work including artists, contributors and friends of the museum. More updates are to follow. Please consider a small donation to a regional art museum with an extensive teaching program if you don't participate in the bidding.
