About WEST Big Medium’s West Austin Studio Tour (WEST) is a free, annual, self-guided art event spanning across two weekends in May. WEST provides opportunities for the public to meet the local artists and artisans of Austin in their creative spaces.

This year, we celebrate the 7th edition of WEST! This catalog serves as an overview of tour stops and a schedule of events.

It is intended to help tour-goers choose their own unique WEST experiences.

WEST Committee Big Medium works with a Review Committee to help select WEST participants. The three-member panel featured Jaime Castillo, Curator, Christina Coleman, Artist, and Teruko Nimura, Artist. Guided by Big Medium's criteria to provide a platform for an inclusive and diverse group of Austin artists, the WEST Review Committee provided invaluable assistance in selecting this year's participants.

Design Theme Ten WEST artists each illustrated an element of a native Texas tree, all of the works were incorporated into the collaged design elements. Our design theme is inspired by a desire to promote the importance of r​egionality and hope amidst a challenging cultural climate. The goal is to celebrate the diversity of our creative community by creating a dynamic, collaborative design.

See the first page of the catalog for the artists and their trees.

ARR. Kelly Grajeda Graphite, charcoal, ink, cloth WEST Weekends, 12-6pm I am drawn to self-portraiture partly in response to my identity as an identical twin. Reflections that are not true reflections represent my personal twin experience. I also appreciate the way light falls on the contours of the body. Graphite and charcoal are sometimes messy and laborious ways to capture this, and are my favorite materials to work with.

Are the faces we design inspired by something deep within us, or are they forged by external pressure? I’m interested in the space between who we are, what we show of ourselves, and how our image is perceived by others.

D. Seen and Unseen: A Sunday Afternoon in Clarksville Mixed media May 12, 12-2pm Join curator Stephanie Lang for a gallery talk about the exhibition Seen and Unseen.

The impact of the on-going displacement of historically Black communities—locally, nationally, and globally—is profound and timeless. Photographers Hakeem Adewumi and Celeste Henery use photographs to exemplify this truth. Centered around Clarksville, a freedom community established in the early 1870’s in West Austin, images of former residents and their families, architectural remains, discarded household items, and historical buildings, honor what was left behind.

M. Co-Lab Projects, Sean Ripple, and Vault Fine Art Services present:”It’s All True” by Object Collection Performance May 18-19, 8pm and May 20, 5pm “It’s All True” is an opera-in-suspension based on the complete live archives of iconic band Fugazi. Grounded upon the DC post-hardcore outfit’s live archive, the work uses only the incidental music, text, and sounds; none of their actual songs. An obsessive leap into 1500 hours of detritus – random feedback, aimless drum noodling, activist speeches, audience hecklers, police breaking up gigs – is the foundation of an earbody-and-mind-flossing 100 minute performance. Tickets available on our website.

10. Ann Flemings Acrylic Flemings creates abstract art inspired by the natural world. Drawing upon memories, her work is characterized by geometric formations and muted tones. Starting with a loose composition, she covers, layers, removes, repaints, and covers again, transforming the piece through many stages. Striving to create her most authentic work, she has learned to work through this searching process through to completion.

14. R.J. Armstrong Encaustic, oil, paper, panel My restless soul can be traced to early childhood. While the neighborhood kids were busy playing games, I’d spend time in the tops of trees watching birds, daydreaming that I could fly away. Living near the airport, I enjoy watching the steady flow of airplanes, filled with people, flying away like little birds. And that sense of restless wonder remains.

The aim is to set an example of artistic stewardship and discuss the world that we, as current inhabitants, intend to pass forward.

I’m fascinated by the immensely cathartic process of cutting away the non-essential. A creation of depth, beauty, and abundance through pruning the whole, paradoxically creating layers of complexity through simplification. Layered cutwork on varied paper qualities and mixed media.

110. Bev Barrett Acrylic, oil, 35mm B&W and color film, 120 B&W and color film, gelatin silver prints An Austin native, I picked up a 35mm camera without a light meter at sevenyears-old. At forty-one, I have experienced loss through divorce, a failed business partnership and my home. I have found myself re-exploring film and experimenting with a new medium of acrylic and oil, painting on canvas. This process has shown healing, resilience and hope for the future.

My process begins in a controlled way with details drawn in pencil and refined in masking fluid, however, my approach to painting and color is more emotional and reactive.

334. Nancy Germond Low fire clay, acrylic, glaze, underglaze, decals I find my inspiration in our animal friends – whether it’s my dog, my cat or that squirrel chattering in the tree. Each of my whimsical, functional sculptures is unique – created by hand using clay and finished with a variety of techniques which reflect each animal’s personality. Twenty new pieces, including a few dogs, cats, bears and a llama, will make their debut at Nancy Hallmark’s WEST studio location.

Richard Erwinloomis Spring steel, other steel, wood, leather, paper, acrylic, popsicle sticks, tung oil, agave stalks For 60 years I’ve experimented with historical forms, created new concepts, and studied weight, balance, metal, and wood to make swords, staffs, knives, pole arms, wands and digeridoos. They push back at you as you work with them until you meet their demands or modify them till they work. It always amazes me how that happens.

346. Andrea Pramuk Ink, acrylic, watercolor, wax, clay, wood panel, canvas, synthetic paper Specializing in commercial and fine art, I create organic, drawing-based abstractions. My pictures may seem familiar at first, but on closer inspection, they are not things that exist, but rather lyrical subjects whose dialogue originates out of line, color and light. I reference earth-based imagery constant throughout time and weave it into visually complex spaces of memory and human experience.

Monique Capanelli Plants, exotic woods, natural elements, steel, clay, found objects “Artrepreneur” Monique Capanelli, founder of Articulture Designs, specializes in living walls, living furniture and botanical art. “I paint with plants and sculpt with earth, exploring ways to interplay natural elements with fabricated materials. I challenge perceptions of what art can be by framing living art where one would expect a painting to be, or sculptures that are alive and growing.”
