Sometimes our family's Sunday mornings are a little unusual. Yesterday for example, we loaded our monster truck with 12 trees and transported them at Imperfecta to join the other 4 I already had there for our holiday show "Rockin' Around" that opens on First Thursday - November 5 - at 5pm.

Much much gratitude to friends and family for helping me source and transport trees 🌲 🌲 🌲

Today, I have a long day filled with fun curating our end of year extravaganza and cannot wait to kick off the holiday season with you all!

Opening reception 5-8pm on November 5th ---
We'll have live music by Solomon Dahms, many warm embraces and lots of cool decorations by many local and international artists.

The same day we'll also debut
Diane Archer 's "Ordinary Magic ✨"
as well as
Davis Wohlford's "Island of Misfit Toys 🪆"

It'll be a fun, wondrous opening in Portland's Pearl District -- Join the Joy at Imperfecta 💕

Are you ready to experience Ordinary Magic by Portland artist Diane Archer?

Here are a few tiny sneak preview details from this solo show that promises to enchant you with kindness, beauty, wonder and nature's serenity.

By combining maps, images, natural elements, found objects, and personal relics, Diane created meaningful, layered mixed-media assemblages. Feathers, seeds, flowers, bones, stones and household objects become visual representations of moments in time and particular spaces, along with the epiphanies that result.

Ordinary Magic is a state of mind; a sense of wonder. The ordinary is extraordinary if we take the time to look closely and with curiosity. A nest, rose, snail shell or handful of acorns can be talismans that tell stories or invoke memories. A collection of objects can become a kind of personal map of a place, person or time.

This marvelous show opens on November 5th at the Imperfecta Gallery, with an opening reception 5-8pm that will include a live performance by Sol Dahms-Wildenboer

Apologies for the inconvenience folks but this week is a weird one!

Nothing of concern, just the joys of running an entire business solo ---- Aka sometimes something else has to be prioritized, like your child's Lavapalooza for example (true story), and the gallery cannot open itself on its own!

Thanks for the understanding 💕

Thanks to Lilliana Watkins and Oregon ArtsWatch for featuring our current installation, "As Above so below" by Jacqueline Myers-Cho and Patricia Anders, in the context of Imperfecta's participation to Portland Textile Month.

This is the second year that Imperfecta Gallery is proudly part of PTXM -- while last year our contribution was minimal as our old gallery space was very petite, this round we participated with an art installation as well as display and a talk focused on southeast Asian textiles from the Martha Banyas collection.

PTXM brings to our wonderful city a plethora of fantastic events and opportunities to get up close and personal with the marvelous world of fiber and textile art and craft.

Thanks to the PTXM team for their hard work and to Caleb + Textile Hive for their dedication to textile art and preservation.
