Friend of a Friend

July 1-30th I’ll be part of Friend of a Friend, a group exhibition at WAVE contemporary.

Friend of a Friend invites you on a journey exploring the intricate web of community and relationships that shape our lives. The exhibition delves into the connections we forge, the bonds we nurture, and the influence of those around us.

WAVE Contemporary is a Portland-based art collective dedicated to fostering and facilitating rich relationships within the contemporary art community.

To shape this exhibition, each member of WAVE invited another artist, who has also invited another artist, allowing the exhibit to expand in unpredictable ways. My friend, the talented painter, Tia Factor, was kind enough to invite me to join in on the fun. In turn I invited my friend, partner in cozy crime, and artist, William Rihel III.

At the heart of this exhibition lies the belief that our sense of belonging and well-being is deeply entwined with our connections to others. By highlighting the inherent value of friendship, kinship, and community, Friend of a Friend aims to inspire viewers to cultivate and cherish their own relationships.

A trio of news

  1. If you happen to be around Portland this coming Sunday from 1pm to 3 pm, I’m nudging you (gently) to come on over to Rose City Book Pub to hear some rather fantastic writers read their stuff. Writers are all part of the Atheneum cohort at the Attic Institute in Portland, a program that’s been motivating me over the last 8(ish) months to birth a new collection of essays. I’ll be reading one of those essays on Sunday alongside a team of talented others. 

  2. On Wednesday, June 5th, 4pm to 6pm PST, I plan to resurrect my bi-weekly Freeform Portland radio show, Bachelard’s Panty Drawer - a blend of musings, music, and interviews. Sharyll Burroughs will be joining me for a three part series on iconoclasts (focusing on the life and work of Howlin’ Wolf, George Clinton, and Alice Coltrane) June 21st, July 5th, and July 19th.  

  3. Free Periphery sensory workshops will be happening at various locations this summer. The next one on June 19th is all about the nose and how to use it. Details here.
