NWDC is pleased to share the art and ideas of James Nelson. 

Drawn from his background in architecture and time spent in nature, Nelson approaches furniture as a meeting point between the structural and the organic. His process favors precision and patience - qualities that allow each piece to carry a sense of lasting presence. James aims to craft furniture that endures not only in its material integrity, but in the intimacy that it develops with those who live along side it. His current focus is on creating his first cohesive collection: a body of work that embodies fine craftsmanship, enduring beauty, and the art of furniture built to outlast its moment.

NWDC is pleased to share the art and ideas of Allyce Wood.

Allyce Wood lives and works in Seattle. Through the use of digital and handmade processes, Wood makes installations, works on paper, and textiles with a focus on digital jacquard tapestries. To her, the loom acts as a mediator between traditional and computerized technologies, offering a unique way to combine online and offline experiences into images in cotton and wool.

Wood is a collector of technologies and threads. In the studio, she creates textiles on her mid-century Bergman floor loom, a passed-down marudai, and a knitting machine from the 1960s that she restored piece by piece. Every process tells a story of a different code system. Punch cards and graph paper are as vital as the bleeding watercolors she paints with. This passion for systems, for breakable rules, stems from a lifelong curiosity of reason and rule-bending.

NWDC is pleased to share the art and ideas of Suze Woolf.

Suze has been drawing all her life. After an initial undergraduate degree, she pursued fifth-year studies in printmaking and ceramics at the University of Washington. Her professional career has included the graphic design of printed materials and interface designs for commercial and prototype software applications. In the last few years, she has devoted herself to the watercolor medium. From traditional landscape sketches—she calls them her love letters to the planet — large-scale industrial subjects and the numbering systems on utility poles, she loves to bring attention to what people don’t usually notice. She finds intense visual experiences to capture everywhere she looks.
