"Exploring transness through soft, quilted terrain, Waters of Body pairs works by Portland artists Yana Sternberger-Moyé, Molly Alloy, and Michael Espinoza with Transmissions Quilts Project, artist Cordy Joan's quilt-making initiative for trans and gender-queer people countrywide. The exhibition joins other interesting shows installed at PNCA: Portland Textile Month's Warp Speed: Contemporary Conversations in Fiber showcases vibrant, fuzzy fiber works from the former Museum of Contemporary Craft's collection, and Angelo Scott's Time-Based Art Festival installation."
"Marie Watt's balance of technical precision and expansive vision melds in larger-than-life textile processes and multimedia explorations. Storywork centers stories from her Seneca Nation ancestry, pairing them with references to everything from Greco-Roman myth to Star Trek. The selection of narrative prints appears alongside a sculptural tin jingle cloud. Programming includes an October 2 performance by champion jingle dancer Acosia Red Elk and a campus native plant tour led by the Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge team on October 14."
