“Forgotten” by Mary Jo Mann

Staff from Central City Concern will describe how their programs help end homelessness and support self-sufficiency in Portland. An artist talk takes place at 3 pm on October 21.

Mann presents a body of work entitled Un-Becoming, investigating the conceptual intersection between garden outcasts that we call “weeds,” and fellow humans who live on the outside of our communities under bridges and overpasses.

The series of mixed-media paintings evolved from studies of botanical forms into more complex compositions that incorporate abstracted imagery of Portland’s homeless camps.

Hung-Yan Law presents two series of mixed-media portraits of Syrian refugee children. The portraits are printed on origami paper and folded into butterflies. The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday or information see gallery114pdx.com
