Curator Melissa F. Feldman observed that the Pacific Northwest's artistic ecosystem fosters a unique blend of historical and contemporary influences, creating a distinctive local aesthetic.
"Indie folk is the product of an ongoing rethinking of the boundaries between fine art and craft, aesthetics and functionality, and the academically-trained versus self-taught artists," says Feldman.
The Northwest art scene, while diverse, possesses a specific visual 'look' that integrates traditions from various cultural and artistic backgrounds.
Indie Folk draws from pre-colonial Indigenous cultures, religious themes, and movements like Surrealism and Expressionism, showcasing the eclectic nature of the region's art.
