Pinned to PONCHO
Silent Auction: Jun 26 (closed)
Lucky Strike Lanes,
Lincoln Square
PONCHO and Lucky Strike Lanes teamed up and commissioned nearly
50 fine artists from the Puget Sound to cast their creativity upon unfinished,
regulation-sized bowling pins to create bowling pins d’art. These pins were
auctioned off at this lively event to benefit PONCHO’s art organizations,
education and outreach programs across the state. The benefit event raised over
$5000 for the arts. Visit
Pinned to PONCHO for more
details and
Team Photogenic for photos from the
auction event.
MetroBellevue is the winning bidder of the bowling pin
titled "Fetish Facere" by artist Esther Ervin.
Details about the artist and pin.
Artist:
Esther Ervin
Artist Comments: Since the
peculiar contours of a bowling pin seem reminiscent
of ancient fetish figures, I decided to create a
modern fetish, constructed from art-paper, twine,
beads, hammered copper, wool and other materials.
About this Artist: Esther Ervin
began creating sculpture from gourds and wood when
work-for-hire was not engaging enough. These works
enabled her to earn an Artist in Residency and the
Pathways Scholarship at Pratt Fine Arts Center,
where she has learned to work with various metals.
Her aesthetic is grounded in the use of multiple
media, and the employment of artisans' processes to
produce Fine Art. |

MetroBellevue is the winning bidder of the
ceramic mask "Bird Woman" at the recent
Faces for Life online auction benefiting Puget Sound Blood
Center. We placed bids on several ceramic masks and was
lucky to come away a winner of this beautiful mask by
artist Randy Yamanaka, a blood donor and police officer.
Details about the artist and mask. |
Artist: Randy Yamanaka
Artist Comments: I support the Puget Sound Blood Center
because they are life-givers, everyday heroes, and I've
seen it first-hand as a marrow donor.
About this Mask: The "Bird-Woman" was a vision through
the eyes of my daughter and her love for birds. It was
also inspired by her stuffed toys, which came to life on
this palette. To be honest, I'm a career police officer
and most of my training is in crime scene sketches. But
this project offered me a unique opportunity to create
something far more fun!
