Auburn: Community & Event Center Gallery Kimberly Tepe Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Program Supervisor 253-931-3043 ahyde@auburnwa.gov<mailto:ahyde@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 12, 2024 The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Kimberly Tepe at the Community Center Gallery, on view September 12 - November 7, 2024. "I take inspiration from the natural world, layering textiles to mimic the colors and textures in the landscape; Velvets becomes moss, wools become tree bark, and crisp satins becomes ice. I see complex in the ordinary and riches in the overlooked. When I'm stuck, I just go outside and look at the trees or the moss, I stop to look at the mushrooms growing in the neighbor's lawn, then I come back to the table and create what I experienced.
