Seattle artist RobRoy Chalmers has inserted the newest variation of his Sporozoan Swarm installation into the windows of the historic Auburn Avenue Theatre on Auburn Way.

Chalmers’ work will be on display through March at the iconic theater.

Winding trails of tiny intaglio prints torn into small squares swoop and dip through the windows, suggesting ant trails, footprints in snow, or the massing of a crowd.

Chalmers, a longtime Seattle artist and native of New York City, says:

“The Sporozoan is a practice, which requires discipline, meditation and attention to detail, it delves into me like needles through the skin forcing the imagery to become one with the idea. I am The Sporozoan: the invasive species crawling into your head making you find pleasure in the vision before you, making you question your subjectivity and your objectivity with the desire to reel you in searching for more.”
