SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Demo: Helen Liu
DESCRIPTION:Helen Liu (she/her) will speak about her large new works on paper in Chinese ink and homegrown indigo. She will also talk about the growing and harvesting of Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria) and the pigment extraction process. Attendees will get to enjoy seeds that Liu will share with gardeners interested in growing their own indigo! \nFREE & Open to the public with a reserved ticket. This event takes place in The Lab. \nLearn more about Infinite Possibilities. \nImage: detail of Deconstructed Calligraphy by Helen Liu \nHelen Liu Bio: \nHelen Liu (she/her) was born in Taiwan and raised on a chicken farm in the southern part of the island. Since leaving the country in the early 70’s with her parents\, she lived in Jakarta and Bangkok and eventually came to study at the University of Oregon. After receiving her BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in painting and graphic design\, Helen worked in advertising firms in Portland and Eugene. Later\, after her daughter was born\, she worked from home and began to explore her own art. \nOver time\, Helen Hui-Ling Liu\, the immigrant from Taiwan\, became a naturalized citizen of the United States\, a world citizen\, a gardener\, and a strong advocate for composting. She grew increasingly concerned about the state the environment. In 2014 American Luminosity was the first large-scale work using her own household plastic waste and non-recyclable bags from local coSee shops. Several large works followed with the biggest one measuring 40ft x 12ft. Plastic Waste to Art Quilt (2021) was funded in part by the Springfield Arts Commission and displayed at the Academy of Arts and Academics in downtown Springfield during Earth Day week. \nTrips to Japan in 2019-2020 opened Helen’s eyes to natural indigo and the long Japanese tradition of working with this blue dye. Beginning in 2021\, she started growing Japanese indigo (Persicaria tinctoria)\, learning how to harvest and extract the pigment. She feels humbled by this magical plant and the ancient peoples around the world who worked with it\, weaving and making textiles that survived the millennia. Helen’s art practice was changed by Persicaria tinctoria and the wondrous color that it yields. Today\, she continues to grow this beautiful ancient plant\, producing a wondrous blue pigment that she uses in her art.

SUMMARY:First Friday Demo & Children's Day Installation: Menka Desai-Crawford & Sandra Honda
DESCRIPTION:FREE & Open to the public (no tickets necessary) \nMenka Desai-Crawford (she/her) will be demonstrating how she embroiders on handmade paper with threads and beads to create depth in a painting. Desai-Crawford will also have her bead and threads collection\, tools\, and some of her finished artworks for everyone to enjoy. \nInteractive Installation \nCelebrate Children’s Day with us on First Friday in May! Every year\, this Japanese holiday brings wishes of health and happiness to all children. Come add a tealight to help us grow the word “love” one light at a time on the festive Love Over Hate: For Our Children floorcloth! Make and take home a print of a koi (carp)\, Japanese doll\, special sweet or another symbol of the holiday. \nLove Over Hate: For Our Children is an interactive floor installation developed by Japanese American artist Sandra Honda (she/her) in collaboration with Eugene Printmakers\, a nonprofit\, community-oriented arts organization committed to providing education and opportunities in printmaking\, letterpress\, and book arts. The work brings attention to intention in choosing love over hate in our daily lives. \nLearn more about Infinite Possibilities. \nImage: detail of Lavender Fields by Menka Desai-Crawford\n  \n\n  \nMenka Desai-Crawford Bio: \nMenka Desai-Crawford (she/her) is an Architect turned full-time Artist\, currently living in Portland\, Oregon and the face behind a small art business called Mantis Shrimp Monocles. She has a bachelor’s in architecture degree from Mumbai\, India and a master’s in urban design degree from Pratt Institute\, New York. She has been working as an Artist since 2018 and has sold and shipped hundreds of artworks worldwide. Raised in India\, Menka has strong ties to her culture which she tries to showcase in her works. She primarily works with alcohol inks\, gouache and embroidery on handmade paper. She also makes her own custom float frame and fine art prints in her home studio. \nIn May 2022\, she was a part of a group show in Alberta Street Gallery highlighting the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement. In April 2023\, she had her first solo show at Lan Su Chinese Garden in Portland\, Oregon where she exhibited 9 botanical mixed media works. The theme was to document the spring lowers that were blooming in the garden at the moment\, and she made small maps to go with each painting to make the exhibit more interactive. In Fall 2023\, two of her artworks were selected to be a part of City of Portland’s ‘Visual Chronicle of Portland’ Collection. \nShe loves a good composition in everything – whether in paper\, in spaces or in imagination and she tries to encase that in her very colorful depictions of birds\, plants\, sea life\, and landscapes. \n  \nSandra Honda Bio: \nSandra Honda (she/her) is a Japanese American visual artist and writer based on Kalapuyan land now known as Eugene\, Oregon. She works to elevate less heard voices and stories by invoking historical\, contemporary and social narratives. In 2018\, she left her career as a speechwriter and scientist to redirect her focus toward using art and writing to interrogate what it means to be Asian and American in today’s America. Informed by the Japanese American experience of ethnically-based mass incarceration during World War II\, her drawings\, paintings\, digital works\, assemblages\, and installations draw a historical throughline of anti-Asian activities in the U.S. from the 1800s to today. In 2022\, she initiated a social practice focused on climate change in which she broadened her toolkit to include sculpture. This climate change-related work draws on her career addressing climate\, ocean and science policy through her speechwriting work. \nShe often collaborates with Taiwanese composer and sound designer Mei-ling Lee to create interactive installations enriched by sound and lighting environments. Since moving to Eugene in 2018\, Honda has exhibited (selected) in the Mayor’s Art Show (Eugene\, 2020)\, Arts Northwest Biennial (Roseburg\, 2021)\, Eugene’s Windowfront Exhibition (2022)\, Maude Kerns Art Center (Eugene\, 2022)\, The Reser Center for the Arts (Beaverton\, 2022)\, the University of Oregon Adele McMillan Gallery (EMU\, 2023) and Walters Cultural Arts Center (Hillsboro\, 2023). She is a recipient of grants from the Oregon Arts Commission (2022) and Lane County Cultural Commission (2024). She was the first artist selected for two consecutive years of residency at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture (2022\, 2023). \nHonda was born and raised in Chicago\, Illinois\, where her family relocated after their incarceration in America’s concentration camps (Pinedale\, Tule Lake\, and Minidoka) during World War II.

Infinite Possibilities artist\, Tien-chu Loh will demonstrate a wet-mounting technique using Xuan paper\, a type of paper originating in ancient China. Wet-mounting is the traditional process of gluing a backing to a painting.

Painting is his Prozac. He paints in the Xieyi genre and exclusively on various kinds of Xuan paper. He often expands his style beyond the classical interpretation of Chinese brush painting.

Some of his works have found a home at George Fox University and the City of Hillsboro Public Art Archive.

SUMMARY:First Friday: "Exposed Transmissions"
DESCRIPTION:Issam Abdallah was a remarkable visuals journalist with a gift of capturing a person’s soul in a single image. From reporting on the war against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq to the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, or the protests in Egypt and his native Lebanon\, Issam told powerful visual stories of people’s pain and strength\, sometimes being the first on the scene to break or transmit the news for the world to see. Leading every day with courage and compassion\, Issam carried a camera wherever he went\, becoming the eyes and ears of the world at that moment. His images in Exposed Transmissions depict stories of resistance and struggle\, beauty and resilience\, while offering the opportunity to come together as a community to share a sense of the world in which we all live. \nPhoto by: REUTERS / Ueslei Marcelino \nWe invite the community to honor Issam’s work at a First Friday opening reception on Friday\, August 2 from 6 – 9 pm. The Reser’s temporary gallery is in Suite 120 of the Beaverton Central Garage Retail Spaces at 12695 SW Crescent Street. \nFor more information\, visit the Exposed Transmissions web page HERE.
