WE, the Women’s Caucus Exhibition

Friends, I am super excited to announce that my #metoo work was chosen for inclusion in WE, the Women's Caucus Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio this November-December at West Rich Promenade Gallery. The show was curated by four jurors who chose twelve artists for the exhibition out of 61 entries so this is a huge honor. In addition to the show, an awesome exhibition website has been published so you can experience the exhibit virtually, and a printed catalog for the show is planned. How cool! I'm still new to sharing my work in shows like this, especially outside of the [...]

Cyanotypes

Fluttering Chrysalis Consumed

There is a creek called Five Mile Creek located near my childhood home in Birmingham, AL that's always been a place of magic in my imagination. These images are part of an experimental series I made that consisted of exposing plant life from around the creek during the middle of the day and then immediately processing the paper to stop exposure in the creek itself. For me, these prints are a combination of science and magic that commemorate this special place and the nostalgia of my childhood. Making these images was simply an experiment to see how pre-coated cyanotype paper [...]

Xanadu Roller Disco Collection

Pattern collection inspired by the movie Xanadu and the roller disco culture of the 1970s and 80s. This set most closely reminds me of my own days spent at the local roller rink. Motifs include skates, stars, streamers, disco balls, and rainbow waves. Teenage me would have totally rocked this jacket. Pattern Design | Spring 2020 | Jamie Runnells

Xanadu Void Collection

The final assignment in my Pattern Design class was to create a 'culture collection.' We were asked to create a pattern inspired by a film, tv series, novel, album, etc. I chose the 80s' movie Xanadu for my inspiration. The movie is a fun fusion of roller disco and Greek mythology set in the 1980s. I had so much fun creating patterns inspired by it that I created 3 collections of patterns instead of just 3 patterns. This collection was inspired by the neon lights and patterns found in the movie Xanadu. Pattern Design | Spring 2020 | Jamie Runnells [...]
