New resident artist 𝐄𝐕𝐀

Eva Kuznietsova's artistic practice moves between painting and handcrafted jewelry, exploring the emotional and tactile relationship between the body, objects, and space.

Eva is interested in how form and texture can carry emotional resonance. Through intuitive processes, she experiments with materials, surfaces, and organic shapes to create works that evoke personal narratives and sensory experiences.In her practice, jewelry becomes more than an accessory; it functions as a small sculpture that interacts with the body and reflects individuality. Painting allows her to explore similar ideas on a larger scale, translating intimate gestures and textures into visual landscapes.

Her work often reflects themes of movement, transformation, and belonging, experiences shaped by living in different cities and cultural environments. Through material exploration and handcrafted processes, she aims to create objects and images that invite viewers to connect with their own emotional and physical relationship to form.

New resident artist Jia Jia 贾佳

Jia Jia is an interdisciplinary artist based in Seattle whose work explores how individuals continuously redefine identity, belonging, and value in a world shaped by globalization, migration, and social expectations. Working across sculpture, ceramics, installation, and mixed media, she examines the ways cultural systems, language, and social structures influence personal and collective experiences. Jia Jia received an MFA in 3D4M from the University of Washington (2021) and a BFA in Product Design from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing (2016). Her work has been exhibited at venues including SOIL Artist-Run Gallery, Seattle Art Fair, Field Projects Gallery, The Vestibule, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, and Henry Art Gallery. Her work has been featured in publications such as ArtConnect, ArtMaze Magazine, and The Seattle Times. She has participated in residencies at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Shunpike Artist Residency, and the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Jia Jia is a member of SOIL Artist-Run Gallery in Seattle and is a recipient of a 4Culture Projects Grant.

“As an interdisciplinary artist, my work explores the complexities of cultural adaptation, identity, and the subtle violence of assimilation. I use tactile materials, clay, text, kitchen utensils, surgical tools, and more to construct immersive installations that reflect the immigrant body as both vulnerable and resilient. Through metaphors of cooking, preservation, and dissection, I examine how language, ideology, and societal norms shape and distort our sense of self. By combining sensory materials with conceptual inquiry, I aim to create spaces that invite reflection on personal and collective transformation in a world shaped by migration and cultural hybridity.”

一滴之时 물의 시간을 지나면
 Time of a DropComposition, 2021, rev. 2026; 
photography and sound recordings, 2025
2026

Time of a Drop is an installation composed of six photographs taken in Zhujiajiao, each paired with its own sound. Recordings of water, rain, heartbeats, and surrounding environments collected in Zhujiajiao are brought together with a newly edited version of an earlier composition.

The work follows a single drop as it moves, seeps, and eventually joins a larger body of water. Images and sounds that began in different moments and places become connected within one space, suggesting that even something small and isolated can find its way toward others. Water continually changes form and begins to flow again.
