Lucky Charms
The beauty of a lucky charm is that it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone else.
Mine include shells and a stone with the word INSPIRE inscribed.
The shells recall the year I taught dance throughout the Caribbean and how
afraid I was at times. “But it’s good to be afraid,” they remind, “you pay closer
attention when you’re afraid.”
The stone is from a friend who said I inspired her daughter, Rose. “Really?” I
said, “Because I remember thinking you wouldn’t like what I had to say.”
Why did I say it anyway? For the same reason I keep my shells close, to remind
me how fear is a huge part of it.
And by “it” I mean my work, the most essential part of my life.
But saying this is what I was afraid of. It would have been safer to say not that
my work is the most essential part, but second to love, family, the kind of thing
people say all the time.
I wondered, too, if I should have directed Rose toward a higher paying career
to help drive the economy. But my driving advice is more: inch along until you
find the work you really want to do.
You may be thinking, “What, are you kidding me? That won’t pay the bills.”
But I’ve come to believe that money is overrated. Too little is horrible, but less
is not the end of the world. I don’t know how much of this insight comes from
being a woman or an artist, or both, but I can’t stop trying to figure out the
conflict between what we really want and what we’re told we should want. And
why it so often keeps us from pursuing our dreams.
I told Rose that if we have the courage to do what we love, it’s our best career
choice. But in order to continue, most of us can’t fall prey to owning all the
things people buy to try and ensure their happiness.
After college, I worked as a waitress…until I threw a drink at a patron who
said an inappropriate thing with his hand on my behind. I’m glad I was fired.
Because the money was good. I might have stayed too long and not got on with
my dream of opening a dance studio.
Well, obviously dance studios don’t pay all that well, either. So I found an
affordable town to move to. My life moved on. And so did Rose’s.
Rose dreamed of becoming a writer. But she went to work for the huge, thrusting,
economy-driven tech world dedicated to making more and more stuff we don’t
need. The last time I heard from her? February 2014. She gave reasons why she
had no time to write.
So often I’ve wondered what would have happened if she’d kept at it? If she’d
allowed herself to go without mortgaging a condo and all the trendy furniture
to fill it?
I know how delicate a balance between passion and a lofty paycheck is. I also
know how many well-paid people I meet who can’t remember the last time they
felt excited about their work.
Recently I came across a display of stones like mine. And I was thrilled to find
my favorite noun inscribed: PERSISTENCE.
I lost touch with Rose.
But I keep my eye out for that book she always wanted to write.

Alfredo Arreguín • “Migration,” oil on canvas, courtesy of the artist
Museum of Northwest Art • La Conner, Washington
Beyond Aztlán: Mexican and Chicana/o Artists in the Pacific Northwest
Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner Washington
Aztlán, the mythical place of origin of
the Aztec people of Mexico became a
political “nation” at the height of the
Chicano movement in the 1960s. As an
act of defiance, Chicanismo took a term
of denigration and declared instead the
proud identity of Mexicans in Texas, New
Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California,
and Nevada, lands that the U.S. took from
Mexico in 1848. But the term and “el
Movimiento” ignored activist Latina/os
outside the Southwest.
Daniel DeSiga • “Cultivando”
1972, oil on canvas, 41 x 41 inches
“Beyond Aztlán” refutes that limitation
as well as challenging any essentialist
“Chicano” identity. Curator Professor
Lauro H. Flores, Director of Ethnic
American Studies at the University of
Washington points out that Spanish artists
accompanied the earliest explorers to the
Northwest in the late 18th century, an
area originally known at Nueva Galicia.
Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy created
200 drawings on an expedition with
Botanist/explorer José Mariano Moziño.
A few facsimiles of his detailed work are
included in this exhibition.
The exhibition then leaps forward to
the freely painted abstract expressionist
14
paintings by Boyer Gonzalez Jr., chair
of the School of Art at the University of
Washington from 1954 to 1979. Alfredo
Arreguín took classes with Boyer, but
turned in a different direction, based
on his exposure to Japanese art and his
love of the complex natural world of
the jungle. Arreguín immerses portraits
and animals in intricate layers of color
and pattern. “Migration,” his newest
w o rk , in c o r p o r at es s al m o n f l y i n g
through the sea as a wall of waves
(inspired by Hokusai) descends on them.
Arreguín might be offering a metaphor
for the current challenges of human
migration. Another variant of abstraction
by Fulgencio Lazo links geometric
abstraction with indigenous symbolism.
His palette of oranges, reds, and blue/
greens invokes the warmth of his native
Oaxaca where he lives part of the year.
Among the realist artists, ardently feminist
and anti-capitalist Cecilia Alvarez fills
her portraits with specific but, cloaked,
references. “La Rumbera Mayor,” the
artist explains, “speaks of the mixing of
the races/cultures creating a power image
of a woman of color. Also, she is the
symbol of creating healing music”.
The tight details in Alvarez’s paintings
starkly contrast to the soft edges in the
paintings of Jesús Guillén. After a full
Jesús Guillén • “Elida”
oil on canvas, 15 x 20.5 inches
day of backbreaking work in the fields, he
sympathetically painted representations
of farmworkers. One of his daughters
Angelica Guillén organized a two night
poetry festival “¡Xicanismo Afire!”
that accompanied the opening of the art
exhibit. Particularly poems like those of
Ramon Ledesma, who grew up as a migrant
worker, resonated with the visual art.
pepper head that emphasizes her agony.
Cast modified cement sculpture by Mark
Calderon suggests deep poignancy in
“Regalis,” a child’s torso facing the wall.
The youngest artist in the exhibition,
George Rodriguez creates stoneware
sculptures that combine humor, realism,
Alma R. Gómez’s large paintings celebrate
her family with indigenous and natural
s y m b o l i s m i n “ L a s To r t o l i t a s d e l
Rio Grande” and with matter of fact
everyday details in “Los Compadres.”
As in Gómez’s paintings, many poets
emphasized the crucial importance of
family for farmworkers.
In another approach to realism, Daniel
DeSiga’s “Cultivando,” places us on the
ground looking up at the farmworker,
bathed in a halo-like blazing sun, as his
hoe thrusts toward us.
Alma R. Gómez • “Los Compadres”
1998, oil on canvas, 52 x 54 inches
Other artists affiliate with Surrealism.
Arturo Artorez’s undecipherable images
provoke discomfort; José Luis Rodriguez
Guerra’s dark palette and dramatic lighting
evoke a supernatural world; and the pencil
drawings by Jesús Mena Amaya suggest
the disjunctions of automatic drawing.
Two photographers experiment with their
media. Paul Berger plays with avant-garde
irony in his “Double RR Puppet” (referring
to Ronald Reagan) and Daniel Carrillo
explores nineteenth century techniques like
daguerreotype and ambrotype.
F i n a l l y, t h r e e s c u l p t o r s , s p a n n i n g
several decades, range from humorous to
mysterious. Rubén Trejo’s “Cheech”
has a bomb for a face (suggesting
the comedian’s explosive personality).
In contrast, “La Llorona,” (The Weeping
Woman), represents an iconic Mexican
figure of a mother crying for her lost
children. The twisting green metal and
painted wood combines a modernist base
with a jalapeño-like body and a hot red
Fulgencio Lazo • “Luz por la paz”

kitsch, history, the past, and the future.
In short, this group exhibition brings
together some of the many dynamic
artists among contemporary Mexican/
Chicana/o art in the Northwest. It reveals
the diversity in life experiences as well
as in style, media, background, training,
and expression within the limiting label
“Chicano” or “Mexicano.” The last
museum exhibition of “Chicano” art in
the Northwest was over 30 years ago. Let
us hope that “Beyond Azteca” stimulates
new exhibitions of these exciting artists
sooner than that.

Animalia
Billy Davis is widely known for
his temporary and permanent murals,
located primarily in Seattle, Portland,
Los Angeles, and New York City areas.
Davis’s work avoids traditional realism
by abstracting or flattening elements of
each painting, and by placing figures in
atypical settings that evoke themes of
mysticism, mythology, gender, as well
as humans’ relationships to the natural
and spiritual worlds. May 5-May 28.
The People’s Liberation Army
Goes Shopping
Portland artist Jim Riswold says
of his art, “foolheartedly foraying into
the art world with my own movement
called “Absurd Realism.” Riswold’s
photographs have been shown in
galleries throughout the Northwest and
hang in the permanent collections of
several museums. Most of his works
poke fun at historically taboo figures
Mao Zedong, Adolf Hitler, and Benito
Mussolini by constructing monumental
setting in which the figurines were
photographer. June 2-July 2.

White Snow, Wood Sculptures
Presenting large-scale black walnut
sculptures inspired by artist Paul
McCarthy’s interest in the 19th-century
German folktale “Schneewittchen”
and the 1937 Disney animated classic
“Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.”
McCarthy offers a biting critique
of society’s most beloved symbols,
subverting widely accepted notions
of moral, social, and artistic order.
Through September 11.
The Brink: Jason Hirata
Brink Award recipient Jason Hirata
presents a solo exhibition exploring
dynamics of the corporate state and
food industry that shape contemporary
life. Hirata takes inspiration from
two references—distanced by over a
century—and creates a dialogue about
the current stratification of society,
and individual, human survival amidst
growing commercial interests of wealth
accumulation. Through September 11.
MFA + MDes Thesis Exhibition
Each year, the Henry presents the
University of Washington’s MFA +
MDes thesis exhibit. Throughout their

and discuss critical issues. They emerge
with a vision for their own work, which
is embodied in the pieces they have
chosen to present. May 28-June 26.
