A Flash and A Clap
A sequel to last year’s Road to Santiago, A Flash and a Clap features the latest collaboration of artists Jonathan Ching and Anna Varona. “I have always known Anna for her experimentation with materials,” says Ching. A Flash and a Clap is a play on lightning and thunder. “The idea came up when I called up Anna and asked her what she is currently up to. She said she has been making sculptural pieces of human heads. Then, I thought I wanted to try to paint sound, as it is ephemeral, until it looped over and over inside one’s head, hence, the idea for the two-person show.”

Road to Santiago
Artists Jonathan Ching and Anna Varona go on a visual journey together in Road to Santiago. The exhibit is on view at West Gallery beginning August 17 through September 11.
Notes Varona, “We arrived at the concept of the show spontaneously. We were talking about visuals that interested us, and we found a common thread: buses, trucks, shoes, legs, things that have been abandoned or forgotten…” The decision to collaborate on a show came easily: “It was a good idea because we both were at a crossroads in our lives: Jonathan with his career as an artist, and I being torn between being a representative of women’s advocates in the province.”
Ching, who brought up the idea to join artistic forces in Road to Santiago, thinks his and Anna’s works will jive as they go through personal journeys as artists and individuals.
