Currently featured in the Main Gallery at Rogue Gallery and Art Center are Digital Paintings by Bruce Bayard and Martin Steele. At the intersection of digital image collage and video performance, Bruce's work is a fusion of visual elements and abstract narrative through innovative mediums. He navigates the language of symbols to convey layered meanings. Embracing randomness as a creative tool, Bruce's work invites his viewers to engage with evolving narratives shaped by chance. In this realm of digital expression, he seeks to challenge perceptions and provoke thought, inviting an exploration into the worlds of space between personal and public. Similarly, Martin has always loved the term ‘snapshot’ because it perfectly captures the idea of what happens in photographs. Sourcing imagery from his prodigious and idiosyncratic archive that contains thousands of images, Martin works in a characteristic palette of saturated hues and chromatic aberrations to invite his viewers into a composition of visual rubble and a unique version of history.

Step into the world of Saturday Speaker Series: Virginia Howard Mullan "Humboldt County Courts World’s Fairs Florence Harrie (1889–1981, Karuk) and experience the legacy of a master weaver. Born at Katimîin, the Karuk center of the world, Florence returned to her ancestral home after boarding school to learn the art of gathering and weaving from renowned weavers like Elizabeth Hickox. She made her living through her craft and today, her great-grandson, Bradley Marshall, has lovingly curated this exhibit to bring her story home.
What makes this exhibit so special?
Florence’s personal weaving chair
The last basket she ever wove
A ceremonial dress made by her descendants that still dances in ceremonies today
Join us at the Clarke Historical Museum and immerse yourself in this deeply personal tribute to a Karuk cultural icon. Don’t miss it!
