Through Aug. 31: Summer Exhibit featuring Ron Hinton

The latest works by Ron Hinton (not to be confused with Ron Hinson) at Childhood's End are more dynamic than anything of his I've seen before. At least the wall-hanging sculptures. The free-standing pieces on pedestals are more of the same stuff I've seen from him I the past -

"Darjeeling" has charm

Three brothers in crisis meet in India, and in desperation, in “The Darjeeling Limited,” a movie that meanders so persuasively it gets us meandering right along. It’s the new film by Wes Anderson who after “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums” made “The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.” Of that peculiar

Knit or go home

A woman was recently accosted outside a small restaurant because of her messenger bag. The skull and knitting-needle crossbones on it declared,  “Knit or Go Home,” and in her hipster-oversized sunglasses and Northwest comfy shoes she looked to be the epitome of the rising movement of young craftspeople/ fiber artistes threatening

Melt Banana
