ELIAICHI KIMARO

Loving & Letting Go is a multidisciplinary body of work by Eliaichi Kimaro that reflects the emotional terrain of a life in transition. In a short span of time, Kimaro’s closest relationships have shifted — her daughter left for college, her husband relocated for work, and her aging parents are 9,000 miles away.

 

Her day begins with writing, a ritual Kimaro has maintained for 48 years to tap into her subconscious. From there, she moves into the studio, using painting and film to process what surfaces.

 

This body of work explores the emotional dichotomies shaping her life in this moment — presence and absence, intimacy and independence, acceptance and grief. Each piece holds opposing forces in conversation — stillness and motion, geometric and organic, light and dark — reflecting the tension between loving from afar while learning to let go.

 

This exhibit is both a personal meditation and a universal invitation to sit with complexity and to find beauty within life’s contradictions.

"Fall and Winter, I paint from the heart; in Spring and Summer, from the head."
– Eliaichi Kimaro

We recognize the stewardship of Seattle’s green spaces by the Coast Salish people since time immemorial, the disruption of this work by colonization, and now endeavor to continue this work.
