Rik Allen came to the Northwest to work at Pilchuck Glass School, and became a member of the William Morris sculpture team, specializing in engraving, cutting, and finishing glass sculpture for 12 years. Allen has had solo exhibitions of his sculptural work and installations throughout the country, including Seeker at the Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, Innersphere at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, Blue Rain Gallery, and Traver Gallery. His current work is in the form of spacecraft, rockets, and scientific apparatus. Allen’s work references his curiosity for science, and also conveys humor, simple narratives, and a lightheartedness that is embodied in much of science fiction’s antiquated vision of the future. “My work is as much about outer space as inner space. At first glance, the work may seem to be all about the exploration of the cosmos, but a closer look reveals more humble elements that speak of memory and transparency, revealing inner and outward perspectives. By incorporating elements that appear worn and experienced, as well as vestiges of an earlier era, I hope to give the work a sense of experimentation, invention, and exploration.”
