“Seconds: COMING BACK FOR MORE” BY CAROLINE WRIGHT
A FULLY FUNDED KICKSTARTER campaign
“SECONDS: COMING BACK FOR MORE”
“None of the pieces of this project are an attempt to replicate the book I made and loved before; this book is similar but just a touch more than its predecessor. It takes my love language for soup that I spilled onto the pages of Soup Club – the familiar emotional hand-painted illustrations by Willow Heath that pair with the unique vegan recipes that I make for my friends, this time a touch braver and more creative than those that came before—and turns it outward, with the help of Seattle-based fine art photographer Adair Rutledge in her photo essays. If Soup Club was the story of how becoming a soup cook changed my life and healed me, Seconds is about how cooks around the country found the cookbook during the global pandemic and, in becoming soup cooks, found healing too.
Another equally important factor of the sequel is the decision to more intentionally celebrate the community that this book comes from: a product of female artists and creators in Seattle, but not just up to the point of when the book is released. This Kickstarter supports a model in which all parts – including where the book is printed and where it is sold – are made possible through the collaboration of women in Seattle. The book will be printed at the local Seattle female-owned press, Girlie Press, and stocked exclusively at the local Seattle female-owned cookbook store, Book Larder. This means that the success of Seconds is a success for the individuals who helped to make it, and celebrated with gratitude by sharing soup, hugs and high fives with its creators. It makes the book far more expensive to produce, but infinitely more valuable and more personal, too: it is a tangible symbol of my Soup Club, this silly and genuine soup love I bring to nearby friends week after week in the hopes it nourishes them.” - Caroline Wright*

“As long as I have been painting, I have been able to race to the Paramount Theater for perceptions beyond what I was imagining. I modeled this scene in Maya, from the handicap seat where I continually reframe my mind.
The Illuvium paintings rise from an apeiron under structure, through a roiling aphros seafoam of creation, to forms we recognize as we ascribe meaning together in a dialectic propulsion forward.
This last year, I realized my efforts of the past decade, to build a 16 foot painting table for collaborations with strangers. With an Arts in Parks grant, we poured with friends, neighbors and outliers in Cal Anderson Park. We also painted for three days with festival goers Thing in Port Townsend. After several iterations of the table design with Timothy and Patrick at Dolan Construction, we prepared the table to shoot a video on the Paramount stage, with the Seattle Theater Group crew, in blue anamorphic flares as creators in the arena of action.
We will be showing our video, and the first successful 16 foot collaboration in a frame, among the best I have to offer.”- Jesse Higman*
“Theatron: Art As Seeing Place”
By Jesse Higman
As Jesse wrapped up the 2022 collaborative pour paintings, his paintings went up as a gallery in the Paramount theater. We had the honor of making a video detailing the efforts that went into creating his beautiful idea and why it is so important.

“A COLLABORATIVE LANDSCAPE” BY JESSE HIGMAN
“Local, recognized artist, Jesse Higman, is hosting two 3-hour unique, collaborative, community painting sessions on July 30 and 31. The event, uses an innovative painting process developed by Higman, he has named illuvium, and is open to all. Participants will cooperatively and simultaneously pour watercolors onto a sixteen-foot, horizontal canvas. The sessions will be held from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm each evening. The event takes place next to the Waterworks fountain in Cal Anderson Park. Local businesses, neighbors, citizens of and visitors to Seattle, outliers and dissimilar others, are invited and encouraged to join in.” - Jesse Higman*
We have had the pleasure of working with Jesse Higman filming live paint pour events. Here is a video we made as an invitation used for his Cal Anderson Park event.
