Current Exhibition / South Gallery

Threefold

Works by Donald Dahlke, Nancy Helmsworth, and Kimber Shiroma

Three gallery artists exhibit their ongoing work related to water.

Helmsworth shares her dimensional map illustrating the dissonant overlay of the colonial imposition over the natural area that is now Northwest Portland.

Dahlke includes a surreal view of a Caribbean inspired place, invoking an experience of peace and serenity.

Kimber Shiroma uses a variety of styles and media. She also uses a vast array of images focusing on our human experience. In the current exhibit she uses a large image of ocean waves – this work explores how we are part of the environments we move through, natural and political alike. It reflects on the feeling of being hit again and again by a force that does not pause, and the tension between resisting it and being carried with it.
