I'm not done with Portland yet. There is lots of art to be found in Portland.
The glass piece was one in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Craft. I took this picture because it also had the drawing of the piece. A panel member in one of the discussions at the SAQA conference had said that she finally realized that she didn't have to do a completed sketch in gouache, as one of her professors had done, before actually starting a piece. This reminded me of her story.
Composition in Circles/Black and Composition in Circles/White by Christy Matson
North Light by Chris Kelly at the Augen Gallery
The above photo is just a detail of a photograph by Ben Buswell at the UpFor gallery. It catches the light and glitters because he made a bunch of scratches in the paper, like the detail below. It was under glass so hard to photograph without reflections. You really have to see them in person.
I enjoyed visiting the galleries in the Pearl district and seeing the public art around town. I didn't have time to make it to the Portland Art Museum.
