OWL: Oregon Wave Logger

I have a new show up at Together Gallery. It’s been really fun to make and Timothy Karpinkski who set the show up for me is amazing.

Here are some words about the show:
The image we all have in our heads of bikinied beach bunnies frolicking in sugary white sand while watching bronzed skinned handsome men shred clean glassy waves of perfection is not surfing in Oregon. Some people don’t even believe you can surf in Oregon, but you can do it, a lot of people do it. These Oregonian surfers are a brave rugged bunch who feel most alive in the challenging elements of the Pacific Northwest. With his first solo show in years, Scrappers will attempt to explain his experiences as an Oregonian surfer using photos, paintings, found objects, and art he’s collected from fellow artists in a show titled OWL: Oregon Wave Logger.

Carlie Armstrong shot me in my home studio as part of her work.place project documenting creative Portlanders in the places they work in. I think she does a darn good job capturing the vibe of the people and the habitats they create in. See what I mean?
