The post Open Call – Hygge: The Gift of Comfort appeared first on North Central Washington Arts Alliance.

Unbridled brings together the work of Daphne Sweet and Charlie-Anne Hopkins to examine the landscapes, mythologies, and cultural inheritance of the American West. The work in this exhibition explores how Western and classical narratives have shaped ideas of power, labor, gender, and belonging, reimagining these inherited stories through care, embodiment, and material practice.

Daphne Sweet’s paintings draw from classical art history and personal allegory, reworking familiar motifs through bold color, ornament, and layered symbolism. By reclaiming the female figure from the historical male gaze, her work transforms classical imagery into a visual language of agency, presence, and abundance.

Charlie-Anne Hopkins approaches the Western landscape through lived experience with horsemanship, land stewardship, and material practice. Their work reinterprets Western iconography through care, labor, and ecological attentiveness, challenging narratives of conquest while exploring relationships between bodies, land, and inheritance.

Together, Sweet and Hopkins create a dialogue between classical ideals and Western mythology, offering a vision of the West rooted not in dominance or nostalgia, but in relationship, tenderness, and the possibility of new forms of kin.

Theme & Vision
Beyond the Face: From abstract impressions to symbolic representations, from fragmented forms to layered narratives — we want portraits that feel familiar in spirit, yet unexpected in form. Think beyond the canvas: photography, sculpture, mixed media, digital art, installation, and experimental approaches are welcome.

Artist Statement:

Now that I am retired, I have more time to take classes and truly devote my days to something I love. I have spent most of the last decade exploring pastels, but just recently I dug out my 50-year-old oil paint tubes. I’m enjoying learning and relearning things with the medium. Art is a lifelong journey, and I continue on because for me, it really does feed the soul.
