Paul Kuniholm established himself as a public artist through formal training in ironworking at Vashon High School 1976-77, and earned a Postbaccalaureate Degree in Fiber Arts at the University of Washington School of Art 2012.  Blending these contrapuntal media in Kor Kinetic, and a shocking number of other “woven” steel sculptures, Kuniholm is obsessed with his familial heritage and his inter-relation to Salish lands.  


BC(1) is the most recent iteration of what was on founding known as Form/Space Atelier 2006-18 and art gallery PKULTRA 2018-present, occupying chiefly the stairwell down at 2407 1st Avenue 98121-1311.  In keeping with solemn 30-year oaths to serve other artists as a curator, Paul Kuniholm now predominantly creates and exhibits his own art as a longtime principal at BC(1), owned by Nick Ferderer.
