Picturing the Avant-Garde aims to broaden the interpretation of photographic imagery beyond traditional printing. The 8 artists included in this exhibition explore the conceptual potentiality of various alternative and experimental photographic processes such as gum prints, tin types, chemigrams, cyanotypes, gold orotypes, and lumen prints among others.
I am thrilled to announce that my oracle deck, Illuminated Love Oracle has arrived!! This is the culmination of 6 years of collaborating with Jessica Rose and Jennifer Dawn.
An oracle deck is like a tarot deck in its use but different in that the cards are not set with a specific structure and meaning. Oracle decks are more free flowing and the cards and meanings are different for each deck depending on their maker. The Illuminated Love Oracle has 45 cards, each of which is a unique image I created in the darkroom. The magic of light in its many forms has been my muse for this project.
I am excited to share this 30 minute artist talk I made while working in my darkroom. The brilliant side to the virtual talk is that I can actually get to show you the magic I get to play with while making images in my darkroom.
This is a wonderful piece in Blind Magazine by Charlotte Jean, talking about cameraless photography. I am honored to be included in it!
Seattle City Light has just acquired Cosmic Dance for their public collection!

This is an exciting show for me! My dear friend Peter Miller, a professor at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany, and I wanted to connect our photography students from across the world the way penpals used to connect with letters. This is the 2nd of 2 exhibitions.
At the opening reception we had a live video feed so that the students at the gallery in Germany could talk to us at in Portland at Pacific NW College of Art. The students then choose a piece in the show to react to and sent all the work back to Portland for this exhibition of both the Portland photographers and the German photographers!

The Hoffman Gallery at Oregon College of Art and Craft is proud to announce Surface / Interrupted, an exhibition of new work from Morgan Buck, John Whitten and Rachel Wolf, curated by Sam Hopple.
Through the mediums of Drawing, Painting, and Photography, Surface / Interrupted is an exhibition full of poetic optics. The visual disruption, surface tension, and optical illusions present in the artists’ compositions pose the question if what we are viewing is analog or digital. Buck, Whitten and Wolf all use experimental methods of making to produce visual enigmas that challenge the eye’s ability to clearly comprehend what is being seen.

A Tale of Two Ghettos
May 16, 2018 6-8pm
One Night Only, At 2 Simultaneous Locations
This multimedia, cultural and boundary crossing art installation excavates the hidden and layered history of displacement of the Japanese and Chinese communities in Portland’s Old Town. A Tale of Two Ghettos proposes to connect Chinatown with the developing Jade District in East Portland via social media/video conferencing platforms. At two selected locations (the Portland Chinatown Museum in Old Town, and Portland Community College SE Campus’ Community Hall in the Jade District,) simultaneous real time videos of performance, audience and discussion are projected into the spaces in both districts. The musicians in Old Town will be performing to a projected phantom audience, and at the same time, audience in the Jade District will be viewing a ghostly performance projected on multiple translucent scrims. This one-night double public event features musical performance of Chinese and Japanese traditional instruments, drumming and singing, followed by discussion at both sites.
A Tale of Two Ghettos is co-sponsored by PCC SE Campus Multicultural Center in the Jade District, and the Portland Chinatown Museum in Old Town Chinatown. This project is made possible by an artist project grant funded by the Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC).
