About The Artwork
I always like to highlight details in my work and share them frequently to the delight of my collectors. As with human relationships, it is the details that arouse deeper curiosity and build connections--gives you that rush of "I KNOW you." When the details are discovered we become involved and through them begin to fall in love. This is a carefully selected detail pulled out from my painting called A Time to Be a Star/A Time to Gaze at Stars. For a short period of time I am offering a collection of my favorite details as prints. The original piece is from my If You Lived Here, You'd Be Home By Now series, in which I am thinking about being satisfied with where you are (a.k.a, Trying To Live Where I Am). While also considering what it might look like when(if) we begin to live off-planet. In this part of the story we are still new to our new home and highly aware that everything that keeps us together is falling apart (thank you, Modest Mouse). We are captivated by the outrageous beauty of the moment, over-saturated palette of manufactured skies, games with time, use of resources, playing tricks with what we know, lulling "it's okay, it's okay," but we feel the storm coming, we know it in our very cells. We are repeating mistakes we've made before we even got here.

United States
Counsel Langley grew up among shipwrights and foundry workers—people with strong traditional skills and respect for materials. Their influence played a large part in her choice to study metalsmithing at Massachusetts College of Art (earned her Bachelor’s of Fine Art, 1999). The rigor of metalwork honed Langley’s discipline, steady hand, attention for detail, and love for surface treatment (rough, smooth, matte, shiny, sparkly, natural, mechanical etc). Her work remains rooted in a metalsmith’s approach to making art. Langley’s mixed media pieces have been widely exhibited; venues include the Museum of Northwest Art, Roq La Rue, International Gallery of Contemporary Art, PUB Gallery at Peninsula College, OGHE Ltd., and Bridge Productions, and was recently featured in a Microsoft Surface Launch Campaign. Her work is held by the Seattle City Light Portable Works Collection and ArtsWA Public Collection. Langley’s work has been featured in Seattle Magazine, City Arts Magazine, Meat For Tea: The Valley Review, Trickhouse, Beautiful/Decay blog. Her love for cross-discipline collaborations sparked opportunities to work with literary publications Filter Literary Journal, Poetry Northwest Magazine, the creation of album art, scenic design, and illustration.
