Susan Harlan

Susan Harlan is delivering a different take on the glass mania invading Portland this month. Her series Invisible Territories features natural specimens preserved in glass slides, then digitally printed onto fused enamel glass panels. Fusing organic specimens into glass, Harlan's work explores and exposes the natural world in a way that breaks from the "organic" forms often found in blown glass sculpture.

It's graduation season! In addition to tonight's UofO BFA show, there will be an exhibition of work by PNCA's MFA candidates at Worksound this June. PNCA is one of the fastest growing art schools in the nation, and the work coming out of the school may have a profound effect on the arts in Portland. This is a valuable opportunity to preview the exciting painting, sculpture, film, and more that their students are producing.

Jodi Boatman

Newspace will be featuring the photography of Jodi Boatman. Her images come from the drive to preserve memory, and the fear of losing the little moments that make up life's events. Through photography, Boatman seeks not only to capture those moments, but to better understand the way they've shaped her, and even to release the fixation of sorrow.

Opening reception • 7-10pm • June 6
