SUMMARY:SAM Talks | Samantha Yun Wall
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Arnold Boardroom on Free First Thursday for a chat with the 
 2024 Betty Bowen Award winner\, Samantha Yun Wall. Established in 1977 to h
 onor the legacy of Betty Bowen—an enthusiastic supporter of Northwest conte
 mporary art—this annual award celebrates a Northwest artist for their origi
 nal\, exceptional\, and compelling work.\nSamantha Yun Wall: What We Leave 
 Behind uses overlapping silhouettes of female figures as portals to unknown
  spaces and different temporal realms. Impetus for the new body of work is 
 a Korean folk tale in which the Pasque flower is symbolic of a grandmother 
 who passed away without the loving care of her grandchildren. It is a story
  of melancholy\, loss\, and remembrance. The delicate hair on the flower’s 
 stem differentiates it\, and the artist gives the plant a surreal aspect in
  some of her paintings\, replacing the flower’s center with a watchful eye.
 \nShow up early or stick around after the talk to take part in an art activ
 ity inspired by the themes of loss and remembrance in Samantha Yun Wall's e
 xhibition. Find out what else is happening February 5 as part of Free First
  Thursday at Seattle Art Museum.
