Drie Chapek
Edmonds artist Drie Chapek has a new gallery showing at The Greg Kucera Gallery in Pioneer Square. The must-see show “Churning” will be on display until May 29.

You might have seen Drie’s work around town before. Her paintings have been shown at Walnut Street Coffee, House Wares and the Edmonds Arts Festival.
I had the wonderful opportunity to connect with Drie recently to understand the complex and beautiful paintings on display. I learned that she uses the process of painting “to witness and appreciate the variance and similarities between natural and human made things.” Drie shared, “The practice is done in an attempt to hold space in me for the knowing of humanity, its relationship to the na
There s a scene near the beginning of Jim Henson s
Labyrinth where Sarah, the puppet-epic s thespian protagonist, is fed up, lost in a maze of brick. She hits the maze s walls, screams, and collapses.
This is where she meets the ello worm. ‘Ello!” says the grub-looking Cockney worm to Sarah. He has tiny tufts of blue hair, gently demonic eyes, and a respectable-looking red scarf.
“You don’t by any chance know the way through this labyrinth, do you?” asks Sarah.
“Who me? Nah, I’m just a worm.”
“I have to solve this labyrinth,” Sarah sighs, “but there aren’t any turns or any openings or anything! It just goes on and on.”

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train will tour American theaters. Yes! Movie theaters. We can go to those now. The movie is based on
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the wildly popular anime and manga series that follows Tanjiro Kamado, a teen who turned to demon-slaying after a demon killed his entire family and turned his sister, Nezuko, into a demon.
In season one, Tanjiro and a pacified Nezuko comb Japan looking for a way to turn Nezuko human again, fighting a lot of demons along the way. The movie picks up where season 1 left off and acts as a canonical bridge between season 1 and the soon-to-be-released season 2. During just its opening weekend in Japan last year,

NEW YORK, NY
.- Marie Watt (b.1967, Seattle) is a citizen of the Seneca Nation, the largest of six Nations in the Iroquois Confederacy. Mythologies and history from her Native American heritage inform her process and are seamlessly interwoven in her art with commentary on international politics and pop culture references.
Her layered points of influence are often reflected in her use of text elements featuring language drawn from Indigenous knowledge and Iroquois proto-feminism, the matriarchal structures of certain Native American tribes, the rise of social activism throughout the 20th century, and the anti-war and anti-hate content of 1960s and 1970s music- such as the Marvin Gaye song, Whats Going On. Messages of both longing and hope from the past that still resonate today.
