SUMMARY:Karen Klinedinst at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Karen Klinedinst\, The Emotional Landscape \nSeptember 28 – October 25\, 2019   \nCamerawork Gallery301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44\, ADA accessiblewww.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nBaltimore\, Maryland photographer\, Karen Klinedinst notes\, “All of us have a deep connection to certain places. We see these places not as they are but idealize them through our memories. In The Emotional Landscape series\, I capture my deep connection to the natural landscape. \n“I draw my inspiration from the 19th century landscape painting of The Hudson River School. Like the Hudson River School painters\, I interpret the landscape and how it affects me emotionally and spiritually. My approach is not about capturing reality but creating a neo-Romantic world reflective of my memory and imagination.“Walking is an integral part of my creative process and forms my point of view. All of the landscapes in this series were captured while hiking through the natural landscape. The act of walking allows me to experience the nuances of light\, weather and time. It forms my conversation and connection with the landscape. Like a painter\, I manipulate these images through the layering of textures and colors to express my emotional response to a landscape that exists only in my memory.” \nAbout the Artist Karen Klinedinst is a Baltimore-based artist using photography to explore themes of place\, nature and the environment. She is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore.Her landscapes have been exhibited at Massoni Art Gallery\, Fleckenstein Gallery\, South x Southeast Photo Gallery\, Adkins Arboretum\, Maryland Art Place\, Soho Photo Gallery\, The Center for Fine Art Photography\, Griffin Museum of Photography\, and the Biggs Museum of American Art. Her work is in the collection of the National Park Service. \nKlinedinst was a 2004 Platte Clove Artist-in-Residence at the Catskills Center for Conservation and Development\, and a 2006 National Park Service Artist-in- Residence at Acadia National Park in Maine. In 2015 she was awarded an Individual Artist Award from the Maryland State Arts Council. \nShe teaches workshops at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore\, Johns Hopkins University’s Odyssey Program\, and at her Baltimore studio. \n

SUMMARY:Marcia Connolly & Katherine Knight at Studio 385
DESCRIPTION:Marcia Connolly & Katherine Knight\, Spring & Arnaud:  Art\, Love\, MortalityPhotography at Oregon\, Last Friday Movie Night \nFriday September 27thDoors open 6:30. Movie starts 7:00 \nStudio 385385 West 2nd Ave at Lawrence St.Eugene\, Or 97401541-686-1240Admission: Open to the public and by fee-will donation \nSpring & Arnaud: Art\, Love\, MortalityBy Marcia Connolly &Katherine Knight[67m/1h7m] \nTogether more than 25 years\, Spring Hurlbut and Arnaud Maggs lived an artful and art-filled life until Maggs’s death at 86 last year. While Oscar Wilde may have put his talent into his art and saved his genius for the living\, these two souls in communion\, born 26 years apart\, appear not to have stinted on either. Shot in the months leading up to Maggs’s death\, the film\, as its title more than suggests\, is an elegiacally inflected love story between equals\, the co-directors never privileging one artist’s oeuvre or sensibility over the other’s. Mostly it’s just Arnaud and Spring\, looking\, talking\, not talking\, gesturing\, at their cottage in France\, their home and studios in Toronto\, a flea market\, the National Gallery in Ottawa. Affectionate and respectful\, it’s also gorgeous to look at. \nREVIEW BY JAMES ADAMSPUBLISHED APRIL 22\, 2013 UPDATED JUNE 19\, 2017

SUMMARY:Angel O’Brien at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Angel O’Brien\, Rowing to Eden \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’sBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, September 18th\, 2019\, Noon – 1pm \nPortland Art MuseumThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205www.portlandartmuseum.org503 226 2811Cost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nAngel O’Brien will be talking about her recent work from Prague\, Budapest\, San Francisco and Portland\, as well as the liberation of finally finding her voice 24 years after picking up her first camera. \nLocal photographer Angel O’Brien works with experimental and alternative processes to create the often surreal and layered self-portrait montages for which she is well known. Her love of photography began in 1994 when she was in high school: She spent many a day wandering Portland with her Cambo 5×7\, shooting this city’s architecture\, spending even more evenings in her bathroom-turned-darkroom making black-and-white contact prints. Angel’s hands haven’t been far from a camera since\, and she currently works with 35mm\, twin lens\, pinhole\, and large format cameras. Although she mainly kept to monochrome processes in the past\, she experimented with cross-processing slide film and fell in love with the off kilter colors she saw in her photographs. She continues with this method today. \nA few years ago\, out of frustration with not being able to make the photographs that she had in her head\, Angel began to experiment with photo transfers\, creating a lot of crazy (and mostly bad) work. She then learned platinum-palladium printing from Ray Bidegain and gum bichromate printing from Christina Z. Anderson. She finally had the tools she needed to be able to manifest the photography that she’d always been trying to make. A solo trip to Prague and Budapest provided the time and mental space to discover how to turn her crazy life into the handmade platinum/gum (self) portraits that she is recognized for today. \nAngel’s work has been exhibited on both coasts and in Europe\, and is either currently or soon-to-be exhibited at the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland\, the Lightbox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, and the Albatross Gallery in Gold Hill\, Oregon. She’s recently been selected for the Critical Mass Top 200 for work from her series The Distance of Forgetting. \nWhen she isn’t making photography or writing poetry\, she is often making other kinds of art with her eight-year-old\, Gwendolyn\, or eating too many chocolate ice cream cones\, pondering the chaos of her universe. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Alternative Visions Exhibit at LightBox Photographic Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Alternative Visions Exhibit \nSeptember 14 – November 5\, 2019Artists’ Opening Reception: Saturday\, September 14\, 5-8pm \nLightBox Photographic Gallery1045 Marine Dr.Astoria\, OR 97103(503) 468-0238lightbox-photographic.com \nLightBox Photographic Gallery opens Alternative Visions with an artists’ reception on Saturday\, September 14\, 2019 from 5-8pm. The prints in Alternative Visions represent a large variety of processes\, ranging from cyanotype\, gum\, platinum/palladium\, silver gelatin\, Van Dyke brown\, carbon transfer\, photogravure\, wet plate\, tintype\, ambrotype\, lith\, casein\, chemigram\, lumenprint\, and wet plate collodion. The handmade print\, taken into so many directions\, is obviously alive and well. \nWe are honored to have Christina Z. Anderson\, one of the nations’ finest photographic educators as juror for this Exhibit and keynote Speaker of the Symposium \n“The alternative process “movement” which began around the 1960s was largely a return to 19th century hand coated processes as an alternative to corporately controlled gelatin silver paper. Today there has been a conflation of gelatin silver\, C-prints\, 19th century processes\, and printmaking into the alternative process genre. Even digital means of image capture are now a part of this practice with some processes such as image transfer or palladium over ink jet which use digital printing in part. The hallmark of the field is that the end result is a hands-on\, handmade print.” ~ Christina Z. Anderson \nCongratulations to the photographers accepted into Alternative Visions \nMichael Atha • Ray Bidegain • Per Bjesse • Diana BloomfieldJulia Bradshaw • Greg Brophy • Ronald Butler • Kimberley ChiarisMonika Danos • Leah Diament • John Dubois • Rory EarnshawChristopher Erin • Jim Fitzgerald • László Galos • Ryan GillespieAndrej Gregov • Sarah Grew • Patricia Holgate • Suzanne IzzoKaren Johanson • Barbara Justice • Sally Kim-Miller • Douglas KingTravis Lovell • Jocelyn Mathewes • Marek Matusz • Julie MooreHarini Krishnamurthy • Susie Morrill • Barbara Murray • Angel O’BrienWalt O’Brien • Ralph Rinke • Philip Schwartz • Jennifer Gioffre ToddAjuan Song • Michael Puff • Melanie Walker • Laura Alice WattTri Tran • Rebecca Zeiss • Yelena Zhavoronkova • Ryan Zoghlin \nThe Alternative Visions Exhibit is part of the 2019 LightBox Symposium for Alternative Process Photography\,(click on link) hosted by LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria\, Oregon on September 13\, 14\, 15\, 2019. \nAlternative Visions runs from September 14th until November 5th.

SUMMARY:The O'Brien Gallery Platinum/Palladium Students Clothesline Show at The O’Brien Photo Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The O’Brien Gallery Platinum/Palladium Students Clothesline ShowStudents Platinum/Palladium Clothesline Show \nSeptember 14 – November 7\, 2019Reception will be held on Saturday September 14 from 4-6 pm. \nThe O’Brien Photo Gallery2833 Willamette\, Ste. BEugene\, OR 97405phone: 541 729 3572Open Tuesday – Friday from 1-5 pm. Call to be sure we’re open.email:  waltobrien1945@gmail.com.website: https://www.waltobrien.net/the-o-brien-photo-gallery \nWalt O’Brien provided a one day introduction to the Platinum/Palladium printing process. Students made prints from their files using their own images with platinum/palladium materials.Image sources were unlimited (cell phone to large format camera). \nStudents learned coating emulsions\, contrast control\, exposure and the process for this modified 19th century printing method. The class included 2-3 digital negatives size up to 5×7 made by Walt at least three days ahead of the class. Students were involved in the creation of the negatives. \nEveryone who prints platinum uses a personalized method. This is due to reactions to variables both atmospheric and chemical. Walt did not claim to be an authority on the process\, since the he was relatively new to printing with this method. Instead it was a learning experience for both the students and the instructor. At the end of the day each student left with at least one or more satisfactory prints. \nOne side of the gallery will have a clothesline strung with loose prints hanging by clothespins. The gallery will also have a few framed prints by other professional printers and some framed prints by students. \n

SUMMARY:Rich Bergeman at Grants Pass Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Rich Bergeman\, The Land Remembers \nAug. 2 Sept. 13\, 2019Opening reception Friday\, Aug. 2 from 5-9pmFirst Friday Live Reception\, Sept. 6 from 5-9pmGallery Talk\, Saturday\, Sept. 7\, at 1:30pm \nGrants Pass Museum of Art229 SW G StreetGrants Pass\, OR 97528https://www.gpmuseum.com/541-479-3290Open Tues-Sat 10am-5pm \nIn “The Land Remembers\,” Corvallis photographer Rich Bergeman revisits the terrain of Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Wars of 1851-56 and retells the story through a series of 35 black-and-white infrared photographs. \nDespite being one of the bloodiest and longest-running of Oregon’s Indian conflicts\, the Rogue River Wars are largely forgotten today. Fighting between local tribes and incoming miners and settlers festered and flared up multiple times between 1851 and 1854 before erupting into all out war involving the U.S. Army in 1855-56. It ended with the forced removal of the Rogue Valley and South Coast tribes to reservations at Siletz and Grand Ronde\, in what descendants today memorialize as Oregon’s own “Trail of Tears. \nRather than document exact sites from the war years\, Bergeman said his goal was “to bring the historic conflict back into our collective consciousness through a reflective study of the landscape that played host to such tragic events over 160 years ago.” \nAn Oregonian since 1976\, Bergeman is a retired instructor of journalism and photography for Linn-Benton Community College in Albany. The 70-year-old photographer has been exhibiting his work at various venues in the Northwest and beyond since the 1980s. Over the past two decades he has focused primarily on portraying forgotten Northwest histories through photographs of what’s been left behind. His photographic portfolios can be seen at richbergeman.zenfolio.com\, and in book form at blurb.com

SUMMARY:Josh Smith at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Josh Smith\, The First Years \nSeptember 5–29\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: September 5\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk with Josh Smith: Friday\, September 6\, 12:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nJosh Smith documents the changes—both monumental and subtle\, internal and external\, and positive and negative—that come with parenthood in his series The First Years. Acting as a “family historian\,” he uses photography as a tool to examine a new way of being and to explore the many contradictions that can exist within a family. Smith’s intimate black-and-white photos of his wife and two sons “serve as place markers for intangible moments of elation\, fear\, and confusion.” \n“The unremitting demands of parenthood contained joy\, tenderness\, vulnerability\, frustration\, and fear all at once. The weight of being fully needed by our children afforded us a sense of purpose\, but also denied us our autonomy and individuality. As we worked to understand our intricate new roles as parents\, our relationship shifted\, resulting in a new connection\, but also a sense of estrangement.” \nJosh Smith was born in Springfield\, Missouri. He earned his MFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute\, and has been living and working in the Bay Area since 2004. Throughout his career he has explored various photographic projects\, with his most recent being a body of work exploring the dynamics of family. Smith has exhibited widely within the Bay Area and beyond\, including at Stanford University\, the a.Muse gallery in San Francisco\, and SF Art Market. Smith is a photography instructor at Marin Academy and resides in Pacifica\, California with his wife and two sons. \n

SUMMARY:Jennifer Thoreson at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Thoreson\, Testament \nSeptember 5–29\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: September 5\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk with Jennifer Thoreson: Thursday\, September 5\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \n“I like to know and feel the moment where people fall apart\, and saturate my work in it. I am seeking the moment of relief\, and relishing in the moments just before it occurs.” \nJennifer Thoreson’s series Testament is an exploration of resilience\, dependency\, the burdens we carry as human beings\, and the yearning for release. Set in a house that Thoreson rented for a year\, the images manifest psychological struggles as vast\, crawling sculptural masses\, which the artist fabricated using materials such as wool\, linen\, clay\, and human hair. Conceived through a spiritual lens\, the photographs borrow symbolic language from the Bible. They take particular inspiration from Matthew 11:28\, a verse that reads: “Come to me\, all you who are weary and burdened\, and I will give you rest.” \nThe content of Thoreson’s images reflects her curiosity about human nature. She states\, “I am attracted to vulnerability\, to peeling back a skin that reveals something precious\, dark\, and tender. I am drawn to moments where people are on an edge\, barely laced together\, befriending disaster\, remembering something\, or exposing something.” \nJennfer Thoreson is a photographer and installation artist currently based in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. Her artistic process includes fabricating abstract objects\, arranging architectural spaces\, and staging furnishings and models to create deeply personal and engaging pieces. Thoreson plays many roles\, including photographer\, teacher\, lecturer\, and mother. Her work has been shown in collections both nationally and internationally. Through her art\, she invites the viewer into a process of self-renewal as she explores the intricacies of human relationships and the ways that brokenness can give way to redemption and healing. \n

SUMMARY:Vera Saltzman at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Vera Saltzman\, O Human Child \nAugust 31st – September 27th\, 2019 \nCamerawork Gallery301 N. Graham Street\, Portland\, OR 97227Located in Lorenzen Conference Center – Legacy Emanuel Medical Center Campus.9am – 6pm\, Monday-Saturday\, Sunday\, 10am-4pmFree off street parking available\, Stair and elevator access\, TriMet Routes 4\, 24 and 44www.TheCameraworkGallery.orgwww.Facebook.com/cameraworkgallery503-701-5347Event is free and open to the public \nAward winning Canadian photographer\, Vera Saltzman\, notes\, “My impetus for the series “O Human Child” came out of a desire to better understand the place I currently find myself\, rural Saskatchewan. I turned to W.O. Mitchell’s 1947 novel\, Who Has Seen The Wind\, hoping his words would help me gain a sense of the Saskatchewan identity. Through stories of everyday events\, Mitchell writes of a young boy trying to make sense of life\, death\, and God and addressing universal themes in an authentic Canadian “prairie voice”.  \n“As I read Mitchell’s novel I began to question what life is like for children living in small prairie communities today. How do community and landscape shape their personal identity and sense of place? In a time when the online world has opened up for communication\, learning\, and entertainment\, when family farms morph into commercial operations\, and rural communities shrink with migration to urban areas\, how will their childhood landscape impact them as adults?” \nHer exhibit\, “O Human Child” showcases portraits of children who live in rural Saskatchewan of a similar age (between ages 4 and 11) to those in Who Has Seen the Wind. The children are photographed in their own environments: in small towns or rural communities\, on First Nations Territory and farms. In creating this series\, Saltzman is taking a contemporary look at children growing up in rural Saskatchewan\, considering how the tensions and complexities of childhood today both contrast and mirror those of Mitchell’s time.  \nSaltzman’s technique for posing her subjects was to recall historical portraits of unsmiling children—perhaps news or social documentary portraits—taken in austere situations. The children are looking directly into the camera\, clear eyed\, and invite the viewer to reflect on the issues today’s youth grapple with in rural Saskatchewan. Vera describes one scene where Kennedi is standing in front of the town school that has been closed due to low enrolment figures\, and it’s perhaps this—her sparse environment and lack of opportunity\, her navigation from a child in the moment to a young lass who must think about her future—that defines this stoic defiance. It’s a beautiful portrait\, celebrating the strength of youth\, but not without melancholia\, for which the black and white treatment is a perfect metaphor. Life marches on relentlessly\, but progress can seem to be stagnant sometimes.” * *Life Framer\, Photography Platform and Awards www.life-framer.com/youthhood2018/ \nThe title of the exhibition comes from the refrain of the 1886 W.B. Yeats poem “The Stolen Child”. The poem is about the fairy tales we tell children to shield them from the harshness of the world—in this case the loss of a younger sibling.  \nCome away\, O human child!To the waters and the wildWith a faery\, hand in hand\, For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand. \nCanadian photographer Vera Saltzman focuses her attention on issues of identity and the development of a “sense of place\,” the passage of time\, and the fragility of life. She currently lives in Fort Qu’Appelle\, Saskatchewan.  \nSaltzman received two Applied Arts Awards for creative excellence. Her series “O Human Child” was a finalist for the internationally recognized Julia Margaret Cameron Award and a Top 200 Finalist in the Photolucidia Critical Mass Awards. Images from the series have been shown at the 5th Biennial of Fine Art & Documentary Photography\, Barcelona\, Spain and at The Fence 2018\, Calgary\, Canada. Also\, from the series the image Samuel is currently touring with the Fotofilmic18 Exhibition to Vancouver\, Los Angeles and South Korea.  \nHer images have been published regionally\, nationally and internationally including Ottawa Magazine\, Black & White Photography Magazine\, British Journal of Photography\, Photo Life\, Seites\, The Hand and Shots. The Creative Quarterly: The Journal of Art and Design selected her work for their Top 100 publication. Her work has also been included in a number of online sites including Lenscratch\, The Atlantic and Square Magazine. Saltzman’s works are part of the permanent collections of the Saskatchewan Arts Board\, the Art Gallery of Moose Jaw and Canada’s capital city of Ottawa. Vera Saltzman is represented by Slate Fine Art Gallery in Regina\, Saskatchewan. \n

In it he examines the interaction of different light types\, color temperatures and intensities throughout light industrial areas of Portland\, OR. This mixture contributes to the ‘glow’ of the city. Light pollution functions to safeguard people and property and allows for safer navigation of cities at night. But as a consequence\, it also blocks out the night sky and further distances us from the natural world. An experienced outdoor photographer\, in this series Greg applies his landscape aesthetic to abandoned cityscapes to stunning result. \nGregory Sullivan is a Portland\, OR based photographer. He began studying photography in 1990 at Pitzer College in Claremont\, CA and subsequently earned his AA in Photography from Mt. Hood Community College in Portland\, OR. He has had solo exhibitions in California and Oregon. In 2018 he self-published a magazine\, also titled “Pollution of Night\,” featuring images from this series. \n

SUMMARY:Harley Cowan at Camerawork Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Harley Cowan\, The Manhattan Project \nAugust 3 – August 30\, 2019Artist Talk\, Friday\, August 9\, 6:30pm-7:30pm Reception following 7:30pm-8:30pm \nCamerawork Gallery301 N.

For the past century\, this has been the traditional tool for making architectural photography because it allows for in-camera perspective correction\, its sheet film provides greater resolution than any other source\, and it remains the only way to satisfy a 500-year archival standard required by the Library of Congress. \n“There was a time when photographers established themselves with work produced for a private or federal documentation program such as the Farm Security Administration or Works Progress Administration. Unlike other New Deal programs following the Great Depression\, there are three federal documentation programs which are on-going and active today. They continue to follow strict guidelines for black & white\, large format\, film photography. The Historic American Buildings Survey was established in 1933 as a joint venture between the National Park Service\, the American Institute of Architects\, and the Library of Congress as a way preserve American built history. Historic American Engineering Record was added in 1969 to record American industry and infrastructure. The Historic American Landscapes Survey was created in 2000. As a contemporary photographer\, I believe early practice within these programs provides a valuable foundation upon which to build.“I grew up in Richland\, Washington next to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. B Reactor\, brainchild of physicist Enrico Fermi\, completed in 1944 as part of the Manhattan Project\, was the world’s first full-scale nuclear reactor which produced plutonium for the Trinity Test at Los Alamos\, New Mexico and the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki\, Japan. Arguably the greatest engineering feat of the 20th Century\, and the most terrible\, a Promethean altar of science\, it has long held a fascination. Photo documentation first began in 2017\, when I was granted a research fellowship and four days of access to the Hanford Reservation and B Reactor.” \nHarley Cowan is a photographer based in Portland\, Oregon. He is a Richland\, Washington native. He is also a practicing architect. His interest in large format photography led to a research fellowship in heritage documentation and preservation with work in the Library of Congress. Earlier this year\, Cowan was inducted into the Atomic Photographers Guild\, an international collective of photographers founded in 1987\, dedicated to making visible all aspects of the nuclear age. He is its 38th member.  \nCowan won the 2018 Access Award from the Vernacular Architecture Forum. He was a speaker for the 2018 Photography Council’s Brown Bag Lecture Series at the Portland Art Museum. He has lectured before University of Oregon’s Historic Preservation Program\, DoCoMoMo Oregon\, the Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School\, and the Society of Architectural Historians at their 2017 conference in Victoria\, B.C. In September of 2018\, he was the Artist-in-Residence at Oregon Caves National Monument & Preserve. \nHis work is published in SAH Archipedia\, an online encyclopedia of historic sites by the Society of Architectural Historians\, and in print with the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation quarterly magazine This Place\, Washington State University’s alumni quarterly Washington State Magazine\, and the Atomic Heritage Foundation’s publication A Guide to the Manhattan Project in Washington State. His photography has been the subject of articles by the Portland Business Tribune and the Tri-City Herald. \nHe worked with the National Park Service to create a solo exhibition titled “Architecture of the Manhattan Project” currently on display at the Olive Gallery at the Manhattan Project National Historical Park visitor center at Hanford. His Manhattan Project portfolio was the subject of a solo photography exhibition on the 75th anniversary of the Manhattan Project at Allied Arts / Gallery at the Park in Richland\, Washington. It was featured in the 2018-19 Pacific Northwest Viewing Drawers at Blue Sky Gallery and Center for the Photographic Arts in Portland\, Oregon and a finalist in Photolucida’s Critical Mass. Juries selected photographs for representation in the “Life In Analog” national exhibition of film photography at Fort Works Art in Fort Worth\, Texas\, the “Lyceum Portland” group show of silver gelatin and alternative process prints at Jailhouse Studios in Portland\, Oregon\, and the “PDX 30” group show at LightBox Gallery in Astoria\, Oregon.  \nA graduate of Washington State University\, for eight years\, Cowan was a member of the Professional Advisory Board for its School of Design & Construction. Early in his career\, he spent six years working in nuclear industry. His studies also took him to Far Eastern State Technical University in Vladivostok\, Russia where he was the first and only western student to attend.

To many Chinese-Indonesians\, home is not simply a structure—it is physical evidence of their aspirations\, struggles\, and love. \nWhile photographing for his first book\, Pabean Passage\, Anton Gautama grew fascinated by the blend of Chinese and Indonesian cultures he found inside the homes of East Java. Born as a third-generation Chinese-Indonesian\, Gautama felt the “air of familiarity” of his own upbringing reflected in front of him and he became inspired to document and explore this shared cultural heritage. \n“There is a story in each frame\, hopes and dreams embedded and encrypted beneath the layers ofobjects that fill the space\,” he says. “They tell the stories about love\, opportunities\, challenges\, laughter\, and tears of those who have called them home.” \nAnton Gautama was born in 1969 in Makassar\, South Sulawesi\, Indonesia. He is currently based in Surabaya\, where he works professionally as a documentary photographer. Gautama earned a Master’s in Business Administration from Hawaii Pacific University. His photographs have been featured in online and print magazines\, including LensCulture and National Geographic. Gautama’s work has also been shown in solo exhibitions at the Goethe Institute in Jakarta\, and at the Indonesian Institute of Art in Jogjakarta. \n

DESCRIPTION:Christos J. Palios\, Conversations \nAugust 1 – September 1\, 2019First Thursday opening reception: August 1\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk: Thursday\, August 1\, 5:00 PM \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \nMeals have traditionally been a time for connection. The table is seen as a space to share time with family and friends\, to relax\, and to bond. Cell phones have changed this aspect of culture fundamentally. \nChristos J. Palios explores the paradox of isolation due to social networking in his photographic series Conversations. “I contemplate the indomitable implications technology has on the efficacy of human interaction and communication. How do our persistent networks and unremitting digital engagement impact our presence in a social sphere? Do they deepen our awareness of our surroundings or dampen them by over-sensitization?” \nPalios’ large-scale photographs of shared meals throughout Greece and America use the universal language of food to raise equally universal questions about community and engagement in the digital age. \nChristos J. Palios was raised as a first-generation Greek-American. His practice originated in design and animation\, and he earned a BFA degree from the University of Maryland. Palios is currently based in Baltimore\, Maryland\, where he has pursued art full-time since 2006. His work explores themes of identity\, connection\, and memory and isolation within a variety of environments\, including remote and often inaccessible spaces.

SUMMARY:Nancy Floyd at Blue Sky Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Nancy Floyd\, Weathering Time \nJuly 3–28\, 2019First Wednesday* opening reception: July 3\, 6:00–9:00 PMArtist talk: Saturday\, July 27\, 3:00 PM*Blue Sky will be closed on Thursday\, July 4th \nBlue Sky Gallery 122 NW 8th AvenuePortland\, Oregon 97209 USA503-225-0210Tuesday – Sunday\, 12 – 5 pmFirst Thursday 6 – 9 pmbluesky@blueskygallery.orghttp://www.blueskygallery.org/All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public. \n“I am interested in the aging female body\, the passage of time\, and loss. I use photography and video to address the ways in which lens-based media can connect deeply with experience and memory. I wish to make art that delights\, while also leaving space for contemplation.” \nNancy Floyd has been photographing herself almost daily since 1982\, often posing alone but sometimes with family and friends. On days when she doesn’t make an image\, she advances the film in her camera by one frame on her monthly roll of film. In its entirety\, Weathering Time consists of 2\,500+ black-and-white photographs that document the artist’s personal journey from her early adulthood to the present\, while also reflecting the cultural\, technological\, and physical changes affecting others in Floyd’s generation over the past 37 years. She writes\, “As time passes\, births\, deaths\, celebrations\, and bad days happen. Pets come and go\, fashions and hairstyles evolve\, typewriters\, analog clocks\, and telephones with cords disappear; film gives way to digital\, and the computer replaces the darkroom.” \nNancy Floyd has been an exhibiting artist for over thirty years. She has received numerous grants and awards including a 2016 CUE Art Foundation Fellowship\, a 2015 Society for Photographic Education Future Focus Project Support Grant\, and a 2014 John Gutmann Photography Fellowship Award. Temple University Press published her first book\, She’s Got a Gun\, in 2008. Floyd’s work has been exhibited in numerous venues including Solomon Projects\, and Flux Projects (Atlanta\, GA); the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; White Columns (New York\, NY); and the California Museum of Photography (Riverside\, CA). Since 2009\, her work has been part of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art Archive at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. Floyd has exhibited her current project\, Weathering Time\, at Whitespace Gallery in Atlanta\, and the CUE Art Foundation Gallery in New York City. Floyd holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia\, California. She lives in Bend\, Oregon.

SUMMARY:Katharine T. Jacobs at the Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Katharine T. Jacobs\, Fixation: New Work about a New Life \nPortland Art Museum Photography Council’sBrown Bag Lunch Talk Series \nWednesday\, July 17\, 2019\, Noon – 1pm  \nPortland Art MuseumThe Miller Gallery\, Mark Building1219 SW Park Avenue\, Portland\, OR 97205www.portlandartmuseum.org503 226 2811Cost: Free to the public (people are welcome to bring their lunch) \nPhotographer and fine artist Katharine T. Jacobs will discuss how art making and photography have helped her keep her head above water. After the birth of her daughter\, a devastating diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis\, and leaving an abusive marriage\, her conceptual work has evolved over the past two years. Katharine uses photography as art therapy to communicate her struggles and her humanness. Come and hear the layers of her process and the details of her life. \nEarlier this year I participated in an eye study for Multiple Sclerosis research. During a particularly difficult part of the four-hour\, tedious testing session\, the ophthalmologist complimented me on how efficient I was\, stating\, \, “Wow you are so great at fixating”. This seemingly meaningless compliment had a profound effect on me.Previously\,the term “fixate” had only been used negatively by partners in response to my need for more details. Having spent the last 8 years in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship\, I was often gas lit out of my questions and concerns. “Stop fixating!” on this or that became a common statement in my relationship. I came to believe that I was the problem\, that my inquisitive nature and craving for knowledge was and unattractive quality that needed to be stifled. So\, I tried to control my urges to pry\, and I fixated in silence.I make large format film portraits that reflect my life experience. Many of my portraits were made in response to my symptoms and struggles living with Multiple Sclerosis. Additionally\, images were subconsciously and consciously made throughout the dissolution of my marriage and single motherhood. My portraits are inspired by love and loss\, physical and emotional pain\, coping with living with a chronic illness and craving intimacy after years of abuse. \nMy background in Craft influences me to make work with intention. I employ a variety of traditional and alternative photographic techniques to showcase skill while still embracing the element of the handmade. Nearly every element of my practice is derived from concept and enriched with vulnerability. For these reasons my photography and my practice are unique and intimate. \nOriginally from the rural foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains\, Katharine T. Jacobs began her education at California College of the Arts in Oakland\, California\, where she learned to shoot with a large format camera and discovered Polaroid type 55 film. In 2007 she moved to Portland\, purchased her own 4×5 camera and started photographing friends\, family and countless strangers while attending Oregon College of Art and Craft. Her focus in street photography and large format shooting inspired her journey across the United States and the production of American Strangers\, her largest body of work to date. \nWhile living in Portland\, she co-founded Jailhouse Studios and actively participated in Lyceum\, the photography collective. \nKatharine now lives and works in Mokelumne Hill\, California\, and is a graduate student at San Jose State University.

My career was very challenging and satisfying\, but I put my artistic self to one side. But I had not forgotten thatI have always expressed myself through photography\, especially when I was younger\, but continued it outside of work and family responsibilities. That became my answer to “What’s Next?” \nMy emphasis is – as always – the creation of fine art images that look beyond the surface to reveal the dynamism\, power and beauty of this world. I look to immerse people emotionally and aesthetically in it. This series is titled “Rock and Concrete.” These photographs contrast ancient Native American rock art (approximately 1600 to 12\,000 years old) with modern creations.In the end\, both are mankind’s temporary expressions. What will remain in 500 years? 10\,000? \nThese photos are reflections on different cultural values and expressions from two world-views\, with one perhaps more durable than the other. \nSee other Images on the PhotoZone site: https://www.photozonegallery.com/grady-tarbutton.

SUMMARY:Deb Stoner at Lan Su Chinese Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Deb Stoner\, Still Life Garden Photographs \nJune 1 through July 31\, 2019 \nLan Su Chinese Gardens239 NW Everett StPortland\, OR 97209503.228.8131Open every day 10am-7pm Lan Su Members Free\, otherwise entrance fee is $12.95 Adults;$11.95 Seniors; $9.95 Students; Children five and under are free \nAnd here’s a tip: if you live in Clackamas or Washington County\, and have a library card\, investigate their Cultural Pass program\, good for entrance at many places including Lan Su Gardens. (Multnomah County has this program as well\, but their summer passes are already used at this point.) Thank you to our fantastic tri-county library system! \nhttps://lansugarden.org/things-to-do/art-exhibition  \nDeb Stoner’s work in still life photography involves making complex visual constructs using the flora and small fauna of specific places. She is drawn to imperfections in the natural world and seeks tiny ephemeral events to choreograph in real time. Composed on a flatbed scanner\, the work becomes a rich and beautiful visual narrative as Deb examines highly magnified details of natural forms. \nHere’s what Deb says this exhibit is about: \n“Working from flowers from places like Lan Su Garden is such a joy. The lotus blossom photograph came about after I asked about being able to cut a stem to work with. Mandy\, the gardener in charge\, invited me to Lan Su Garden’s greenhouse where there were several still blooming. She said that I’d have to work quickly as the petals on the blossom would fall off soon after being cut. The additional challenge with a flower as large and heavy as the lotus is working against gravity as it lays on the scanner glass while I work. There are no secrets really\, just a careful arranging of the beautiful flora\, working quickly to capture it before the whole thing falls apart\, or more accurately\, before it loses turgor and collapses onto the scanner glass. During November during Lan Su’s chrysanthemum festival “Mumvember”\, I arrived at the greenhouse to see hundreds of chrysanthemums all in pots\, arranged by variety\, but to me\, arranged by color and shape. Overwhelmed\, I asked Mandy to cut me a dozen or so small flowers in various stages of bloom that I then took home to photograph. Beautiful! Many thanks to the generosity of Lan Su Garden as they shared their flowers\, or as I like to think of them\, art materials.” \nOn Friday July 12\, 2-4pm\, Deb will be demonstrating her scanner technique in a drop by session in the Scholar’s Study\, surrounded by her large scale still life photographs. Entrance is included with admission.https://lansugarden.org/things-to-do/events/art-demonstration2/ \nhttps://www.debstoner.com/  \nDeb Stoner holds an MFA in Applied Design from San Diego State University\, a BS in Geology from UC Davis\, and a decades long teaching career at Oregon College of Art and Craft. Recently she presented lectures on photography to the Yuma Symposium\, the Portland Art Museum\, the SPE NW Regional Conference; had solo photography shows in 2019\, 2017\, 2016 and 2015; numerous group shows; work in the permanent public art collections at University of Oregon\, OHSU\, PCC\, and Portland International Airport; is the recipient of grants\, an Oregon Arts Fellowship\, and a recent residency; and sells work to enthusiastic collectors. \n

As Peacock notes\, “These [are] portraits of individuals\, couples\, and families that reveal the depth of their character and spirit.” \nBarbara Peacock is a fine art and commercial photographer based in Portland\, Maine. She studied fine arts at Boston University and photography and filmmaking at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts.
