Also known as Faunwood, Zimmerman’s entrancing flora and fauna inspired works take on delightful three dimensional forms in this show of ceramic sculptures.
Currently on view at Talon Gallery in Portland, Oregon is artist Andrew Rice’s solo exhibition, “A Future We Were Promised. A Future That Never Came.”
Andrew says of the work, “the pieces in this body of work are collages comprised entirely of old comic book imagery. Most of the books were from my childhood and likewise the pieces in this body of work have a definite sense of nostalgia. I am drawn into the youthful optimism the comic book imagery holds. This idea of the future we were promised. A future that never came.I relate the collage pieces to my work as a printmaker in a lot of ways. Through the layering, the texture building and the meticulous cutting and placing, the act of making feels a lot like making a print. In its own way, it is a form of print “making.” I am making a new piece of original work out of an edition, working backwards from what my printmaker self is trained and familiar with.It is not as important to me at the moment to make my own, unique marks, but rather use a visu- al catalog that already exists to create a new piece. An author, or poet rarely creates a new word, but can still tell an entirely original story with the words available in their language. I am looking at collage in a similar way. Using the images that are already at my disposal to tell a new, but familiar story.”
Currently on view at Talon Gallery in Portland, Oregon is the group exhibition, “Angels in the Architecture // Devils in the Detail.”
This annual group exhibition asks artists to create works with a focus on architecture, accompanied by corresponding smaller works which delve into the details of the built environment.

These knee highs are based on the carpet designed by SRG Partnership in 1987 for Portland International Airport. For nearly 30 years, this pattern welcomed visitors and returning residents to our fair city, and for many of us it has become synonymous with coming home.
The design is an abstracted representation of PDX’s north and south runways, as seen from the air traffic control tower at night. Our version features a slightly darker teal background, with contrasting navy heels, toes, and cuffs. The iconic pattern runs down the side of each sock for an effect that almost reminds us of “clocked” argyle styles. Welcome home!
