Piper Hopkins' body of work explores the nuances of emotion and
nostalgia through frenetic line work, jarring static forms and scale.
By creating visual juxtapositions of loose figural forms placed
on highly reflective metallic and silver-leafed backgrounds, she
delves into the ways memories and feelings of nostalgia are interwoven,
contained, or obfuscated by time.

Piper Hopkins has a BFA from Parsons School of Design in New York,
and a Masters of Communication in Digital Media from the University of
Washington. Among her recent Northwest exhibitions are solo presentations at
Seattle's Area 51, Miro Tea, and BalMar; her work has also been included in
group exhibitions for COCA and several other organizations.
