Island artist Ann Leda Shapiro’s latest work, a series of five paper cutouts, will be exhibited in a pop-up art show at the Guest Shed Gallery in Seattle for two days only on Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.

Shapiro created the series called “Decimated Dolphins” in response to the irradiated dolphins that washed up on various shores after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The show also will include additional cut outs by Shapiro based on the body, cells and prayers, the artist wrote in a recent email.

The Guest Shed Gallery is the brainchild of Seattle artist Tammy Spears, who built a shed on her property in Georgetown to host short-run, pop-up art shows and to sell her own work.

The gallery openings are receiving favorable responses, and the shed is garnering a reputation for the pop-ups.

Shapiro believes islanders “could do this, too,” meaning jump on the pop-up gallery band wagon as a refreshing way to display art.

The Guest Shed Gallery is located at 739 S. Homer St. The gallery phone number is 371-9368, and the web address is tammyspears.com.
