WaterWorks Gallery presents the second “Art Aisle” for Cloud Oakes through July 3 at 315 Argyle Ave. in Friday Harbor.
As the artist continues to grow and change, Cloud Oakes’s works take on a new perspective.
Cloud in her current artist statement comments:
“The human form tells a story of more than what rests on the surface. There is a story waiting to be told in our mannerisms and interactions. I strive to witness my own internal story and that of others, and then to capture a snippet of that story on the panel. There is a pause, a moment when the viewer is invited into the story, and within that moment the personal pivots into the universal.
The body language, depicted in many of my works, creates a platform for observation into the intimate world of human emotion and interaction. The figures ask you to slip into their imperfect skin and find within the patterns of shape a color an emotive resonance. In this shared experience we can find an authentic human connection.”
