8 // COASTWEEKEND.COM May 14 ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Satur- day, May 14. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits. ART BUSINESSES 1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Imogen Gallery presents a dual exhibition with Kim Hamblin and Christopher Wagner, two artists linked by a background in farming and animal husbandry. Hamblin gains inspiration for imagery from her lifelong love of the sciences. The focal point of her work is not only use of imagery, but the delicateness of pattern revealed in each paper cut; painted surface and nails further enhance pattern and texture. Wagner, a sculptor, also focuses on animal imagery within his work. With a strong sense of whimsy balanced with irony, Wagner brings his hand-carved reclaimed wood pieces that depict the close relationship between man and animal. Utilizing milk paint he brings his igures and animals to life, adding a sense of play to his cast of characters. 2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. Festivities begin 3 to 6 p.m. with a jewelry trunk show featuring two regional designer jewelers. Judith Altruda from Tokeland, Washington, brings a selection inspired by the an- cient deities of journeys and crossroads.

With a theme of the meeting and melding of Eastern and Western cultures in our times, the works in this show are inspired by his travels in faraway lands intermingled with the wild otherworld of his imagination. 3.
