The Current: ECCHO

OPENING TOMORROW ✨

Understanding Two Views brings together collaborative works by Sue Bennett-Williams and Jason Bennett, merging illustration and abstraction into richly layered mixed-media compositions on wood panel. Rooted in shared experiences of landscape in The Bahamas and Seattle, the exhibition explores dialogue across generations, geographies, and ways of seeing—constructed yet organic, imagined yet deeply grounded.

Join us Friday, March 13, from 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM at The Current: ECCHO (Grand Hyatt East Terrace). Both artists will join virtually from Seattle for live dialogue.

Free and open to the public.

The Current is proud to present Understanding Two Views, a duo exhibition of collaborative works by Jason Bennett and Sue Bennett-Williams.

Join us for the opening reception on March 13th, 2026, from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at The Current: ECCHO (Grand Hyatt East Terrace) to experience this dynamic series.

In Understanding Two Views, mother and son merge abstraction and illustration into richly layered mixed-media works on wood panel. Inspired by shared outdoor excursions through Seattle and The Bahamas, Bennett’s photographic collage and gestural, topographic grounds intertwine with Bennett-Williams’ luminous mangroves, corals, botanicals, and subtle references to island fauna. The works unfold as conversations across generations and geographies—constructed yet organic, imagined yet deeply rooted.

For this special opening, guests will be invited into a unique meta experience: both artists will join virtually from their studios in Seattle, offering live dialogue, insight into their process, and an intimate look at the spaces where the works were created.

We look forward to seeing you there.
