The five artists from this year's Glean program have now completed their  "tour of duty" at the city dump.  They've spent the last several months gleaning "good stuff" from the city dump that they could then re-use to create some amazing art.  I was a part of this program four years ago, and continue to watch what each year's group of artists create.  If you live here in the Portland area, you can catch their show this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Furthermore Gallery, 421 N.E. 10th Av....open from 12 - 5 pm.   I saw the work last week and have a few photos to share.

Introducing Stella...the newest member of the family!  She's a chocolate labradoodle, now five months old.    She's "pure puppy" at this point in her life...bounding around with so much energy! She has quickly become best friends with Gracie, my other labradoodle.    She's now recovering from the "big surgery" and will have her stitches out in a few days.  

For the last five months, this season's "glean artists" have been creating art from the mountains of trash they've found at the Metro Transfer Station (the city dump).  I was a member of this "Glean Dream Team" three years ago, and continue to follow the artists who have been chosen for this residency each year.   I  was finally able to see the show today and took a few photos.  There was some exceptional work this year...all materials used having come directly from the city dump!
