"Self Portrait" by Romson Regarde Bustillo

Edmonds Community College’s art gallery this fall features “Vassal Republic” by Romson Regarde Bustillo.

“I question and explore how place, context, and visual cues modify, enhance, and divert meanings,” Bustillo said.

He is an interdisciplinary artist working in mixed media, printmaking, and space coding. The exhibit will run from Sept. 17 through Dec. 7. Meet Bustillo at an artist reception from 3-5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16.
