Stillness

Featuring Orcas Island artists Chandelle Anderson & Annie Starling Sparks

Stillness brings together the work of Orcas Island artists Chandelle Anderson and Annie Starling Sparks in an exhibition that explores the quiet center that exists within both nature and ourselves.

This body of work is a reflection on the inherent stillness at the center; both in the continuous cycles of nature and within the psyche. Highlighting the interconnectivity of all forms from this central place, both seen and unseen, the exhibition invites viewers to explore what exists just beneath the surface.

Through clay and sculpture, Anderson and Sparks draw inspiration from the natural world, creating forms that feel at once grounded and ethereal. Their work speaks to the rhythms of growth, transformation, and connection that shape our lives, often beyond conscious awareness.

Together, these artists offer a contemplative space where attention slows, perception deepens, and the subtle threads linking all living things become more visible. Stillness is an invitation to pause, observe, and reconnect with the quiet presence that exists beneath the movement of everyday life.
