Solomon Cohen is a Phoenix-based architect and builder. A New Yorkistan native, he holds degrees from Temple University and the University of Washington. “I believe strongly that, based on the creation mandate, all of it is sacred. Yes, there are times when you would say, ‘Those are real sacred activities or spiritual exercises.’ In actuality, we believe all of life - meetings like this, getting together for coffee, serving a client, helping realize a building... we might call it ordinary life, but all of it can be quite extraordinary.”

Read Casey Gregory and Tommy Gregory’s interview with Kelsey Fernkopf, Henry Jackson-Spieker, and KCJ Szwedzinski, “As Darkness Falls: Neon Shines Bright.” Available through our mobile and desktop interface. Casey Arguelles Gregory is an artist, writer, and curator based in Seattle, Washington. As a curator and writer, Casey is interested in promoting the labor of other artists and examining creative processes as humanizing and transformative. Tommy Gregory is the Public Art Program Curator for the Port of Seattle. He also has an active studio practice which includes glass and bronze sculpture, collage and drawing. He has exhibited publicly across the U.S. for nearly 20 years. “It’s died many times and come back. We can’t put it in the ground yet.”

View Michael Barkin’s final installment of his Artist Spaces photo series, “Seattle at Night.” Michael Barkin was born in Oregon and lives in Seattle. He photographs social change, urban issues, and subcultures. “Clouds remind me that the earth is an ecosystem, though it’s easy to soon again forget.”

Read Kaitlin McCarthy’s article, “The Task of Untying,” with Sonam Tshedzom Tingkhye. As a dance journalist, Kaitlin McCarthy has spent the last decade writing about the Seattle scene as a regular contributor to City Arts Magazine, Dance Intl Magazine, PublicDisplay.Art, and SeattleDances.com, where she has been the Editor since 2016. During her leadership she grew SeattleDances from a volunteer site to one that paid its writers and staff. In 2022 she received a fellowship to the National Critics Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Center for Theatre, where she studied criticism with leaders in the field. Her writing is informed by her fifteen-year performance and choreographic career. "I'm standing still. This is me existing. Me being is the performance.”

Read Rob Moura’s piece about Ballard’s Shibuya Hi-Fi ft. Quentin Ertel, “SOUNDBATH: A Night of Icelandic Music In Ballard’s Shibuya Hi-Fi,” available through our mobile and desktop interface. Rob Moura (he/him) is a writer and musician who’s been living in Seattle for almost a decade. When he’s not covering local music as the editor for WASH Magazine or writing for other outlets local and non-local, he plays quiet folk music by himself as Armour. “The night advances. It’s incredible to hear such old records rendered so clearly. Those mids are, indeed, particularly silky. The LP sleeves are passed around the audience, and as they approach my seat I attempt to replicate the foreign words, sounding out the accents. I glean nothing, but nothing’s necessary for me to glean. The spirit of the music suffices: the gleeful greed of a snare’s ghost notes, the collaborative wonder of human voices stacked in harmony, brash horns replicating Shady Owens’ euphoric declaration as the wooden walls around us try their hardest to contain her epiphany. ‘ég elska alla!’ The phrase, we are later told, means ‘I love everything.’”

Read Jackeline Serafin's essay "The Interplay of Music and Architecture: A Study of Chris Kallmyer's Furniture Music," with an introduction from Rob Moura. Jackeline Serafin is an undergraduate student majoring in Architecture with a minor in Real Estate. She finds the blend of various fields within architecture fascinating as it encompasses so many different aspects and possibilities.

Both disciplines engage with spatial dimensions—architecture through physical structures and music through temporal sequences."
