Mixed: The Politics of Hybrid Identities
Tim Combs and I are just two of the Northwest artists participating in the art show at Lewis and Clark College’s Sixth Annual Ray Warren Multicultural Symposium, which runs through Friday.

Last night, I went to see the show, and I fell in love with this piece by Combs. He uses an industrial router to create his woodcarvings. He explained that, far from hampering him, the weight of the tool allows him control his cuts more fluidly and forcefully.

This piece is part of his Reclamation Project, discarded images carved into discarded wood and reclaimed for art.

Lewis and Clark doesn’t feature a list of the participating artists anywhere on its site. I’m showing work from Apple Pie, Tim has a number of works similar to the one shown above, and there are at least a dozen artists in the show. Sorry I can’t be of more help! The other symposium events are cool too. They might make it worth the trip, and they are listed in some detail on the site.
Tim pulled off something very tricky for me in my portraits=a person smilling. It IS hard. I think at least in my case sometimes it looks too close to all the smilling PHOTOS we all see in daily life.
But, thanks for the reply Gwenn, and I’m looking forward to seeing what your work looks life in real life.

Lewis and Clarks website is a confusing mess with no links to any images that I can see, regarding “mixed…...”
